Context Readings

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

1 I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion. 2 One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables. 3 Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them.
