   Romans Chapter 14   
      
   1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful   
   disputations.   
      
   2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak,   
   eateth herbs.   
      
   3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him   
   which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.   
      
   4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he   
   standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make   
   him stand.   
      
   5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day   
   alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.   
      
   6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that   
   regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that   
   eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth   
   not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.   
      
   7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.   
      
   8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die   
   unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.   
      
   9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might   
   be Lord both of the dead and living.   
      
   10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought   
   thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.   
      
   11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to   
   me, and every tongue shall confess to God.   
      
   12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.   
      
   13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this   
   rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his   
   brother's way.   
      
   14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing   
   unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to   
   him it is unclean.   
      
   15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not   
   charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.   
      
   16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:   
      
   17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and   
   peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.   
      
   18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and   
   approved of men.   
      
   19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and   
   things wherewith one may edify another.   
      
   20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but   
   it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.   
      
   21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing   
   whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.   
      
   22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that   
   condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.   
      
   23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of   
   faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.   
      
   Romans Chapter 15   
      
   1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and   
   not to please ourselves.   
      
   2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.   
      
   3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The   
   reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.   
      
   4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our   
   learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might   
   have hope.   
      
   5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one   
   toward another according to Christ Jesus:   
      
   6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father   
   of our Lord Jesus Christ.   
      
   7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the   
   glory of God.   
      
   8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the   
   truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:   
      
   9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is   
   written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and   
   sing unto thy name.   
      
   10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.   
      
   11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.   
      
   12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that   
   shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.   
      
   13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,   
   that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.   
      
   14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are   
   full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one   
   another.   
      
   15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in   
   some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to   
   me of God,   
      
   16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,   
   ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles   
   might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.   
      
   17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those   
   things which pertain to God.   
      
   18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath   
   not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,   
      
   19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God;   
   so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully   
   preached the gospel of Christ.   
      
   20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was   
   named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:   
      
   21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see:   
   and they that have not heard shall understand.   
      
   22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.   
      
   23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great   
   desire these many years to come unto you;   
      
   24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I   
   trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward   
   by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.   
      
   25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.   
      
   26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain   
   contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.   
      
   27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the   
   Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty   
   is also to minister unto them in carnal things.   
      
   28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this   
   fruit, I will come by you into Spain.   
      
   29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness   
   of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.   
      
   30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and   
   for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your   
   prayers to God for me;   
      
   31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and   
   that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
