Romans 13:11–14:10

11  This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that we should be aroused out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12  The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13  As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation. 14  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to fulfil its lusts.

Chapter 14

1  Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to the determining of questions of reasoning. 2  One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs. 3  Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him. 4  Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5  One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6  He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7  For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. 8  For both if we should live, it is to the Lord we live; and if we should die, it is to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord’s. 9  For to this end Christ has died and lived again, that he might rule over both dead and living. 10  But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
