Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another
2 One man's faith permits of his eating food of all kinds, while another whose faith is weak eats only vegetable food. 3 The man who eats meat must not despise the man who abstains from it; nor must the man who abstains from eating meat pass judgment on the one who eats it, for God himself has received him. 4 Who are you, that you should pass judgment on the servant of another? His standing or falling concerns his own master. And stand he will, for his Master can enable him to stand.
