FOR THIS END

^{Romans 14:8-23}

 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.
FOR THIS END 
CHRIST BOTH DIED,
 AND
ROSE, AND REVIVED, 

THAT HE MIGHT BE LORD OF BOTH 
THE DEAD AND LIVING. 

BUT WHY DOST THOU JUDGE 

THY BROTHER? 
OR WHY DOST THOU SET AT 

NOUGHT THY BROTHER?
FOR WE SHALL ALL STAND
BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.
FOR IT IS WRITTEN, AS I LIVE, 

SAITH THE LORD, 
EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND 
EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD.
SO THEN EVERY ONE OF US SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD.
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.  
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.
BUT IF THY BROTHER BE GRIEVED 

WITH THY MEAT, 
NOW WALKEST THOU NOT CHARITABLY. 
DESTROY NOT HIM WITH THY MEAT, 
FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED. 

LET NOT YOUR GOOD
 BE EVIL SPOKEN OF: FOR  

THE KINGDOM OF GOD
IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK: BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND PEACE, AND JOY IN 

THE HOLY GHOST.  
FOR HE THAT IN THESE THINGS
SERVETH CHRIST IS ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, 
AND APPROVED OF MEN.
LET US THEREFORE 
FOLLOW AFTER THESE 
THINGS WHICH MAKE
FOR PEACE, 

AND THINGS WHEREWITH
ONE MAY EDIFY ANOTHER. 
FOR MEAT DESTROY NOT 

THE WORKS OF GOD. 
ALL THINGS INDEED ARE PURE; 
BUT IT IS EVIL FOR THAT MAN 
WHO EATETH WITH OFFENCE. 
IT IS GOOD NEITHER TO EAT FLESH, 
NOR DRINK WINE, 
NOR ANY THING WHEREBY THY BROTHER STUMBLETH,
OR IS OFFENDED,
OR IS MADE WEAK.  
HAST THOU FAITH? 
HAVE IT TO THYSELF 
BEFORE GOD. 
HAPPY IS HE 
THAT CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF 
IN THAT THING WHICH 
HE ALLOWETH.  
AND HE THAT DOUBTETH
IS DAMNED IF HE EAT, 
BECAUSE HE EATETH 
NOT OF FAITH: 
FOR WHATSOEVER IS 
NOT FAITH IS SIN.
