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.
