Treat people who are overscrupulous in their faith like brothers; do not criticize their views. One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while the overscrupulous man eats nothing but vegetables.

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. One man thinks one day better than another, while another thinks them all alike. Everybody must be fully convinced in his own mind. The man who observes the day does it in the Lord's honor.

I for my part care very little about being examined by you or by any human court. I do not even offer myself for investigation. For while my conscience does not trouble me at all, that does not prove that I am innocent. It is the Lord who must examine me.

For he will light up the darkness that now hides things and show what the motives in people's minds are, and then everyone will get from God the praise he deserves.
I will show you a far better way. If I can speak the languages of men and even of angels, but have no love, I am only a noisy gong or a clashing cymbal. If I am inspired to preach and know all the secret truths and possess all knowledge, and if I have such perfect faith that I can move mountains, but have no love, I am nothing. Even if I give away everything I own, and give myself up, but do it in pride, not love, it does me no good.read more.
