6. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
7. For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8. For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
9. For to this end Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10. But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah.
11. For it is written,“‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow.Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12. So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13. Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
14. I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15. Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
