Context Readings

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

2 One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while the overscrupulous man eats nothing but vegetables. 3 The man who will eat anything must not look down on the man who abstains from some things, and the man who abstains from them must not criticize the one who does not, for God has accepted him. 4 Who are you to criticize someone else's servant? It is for his own master to say whether he succeeds or fails; and he will succeed, for the Master can make him do so.
