Context Readings

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any thing by which your brother stumbles, or is ensnared, or is made weak. 22 Have you faith? Have it to yourself before God. Blessed is he who condemns not himself in that which he approves. 23 But he that doubts is condemned, if he eat, because he eats not with faith. Every thing that is not of faith, is sin.
