¶ The .xiiij. Chapter.
¶ The weake ought not to be despysed. No man
shulde offende anothers c&obar;scy&ebar;ce. Agayne, for outwarde
thynges shulde no man c&obar;d&ebar;pne another.
A Hym that is weake in the fayth,
receaue, not in disputynge and
troublynge hys conscience.
One beleueth that he maye eate
all thynge. Another whych is
weake, eateth earbes. Let not hym that eateth,
despise hym þt; eateth not. And let not h&ibar;
whych eateth not, note iudge him þt; eateth. For
God hath receaued him. noteWhat art þu; þt; iudgest
another mannes serua&ubar;t whether he st&abar;de
or fall þt; pertayneth vnto hys awne master:
ye, he shall be hold&ebar; vp, that he maye st&abar;de.
For God is able to make hym stande.
B This man putteth differ&ebar;ce bitwene daye
∧ daye. Another m&abar; co&ubar;teth all dayes alyke.
&rhand; Let euery m&abar;s mynde satisfye him selfe.
&rhand; He that obserueth the daye, doeth it vnto
the Lorde. And he that doth not obserue
the daye, doeth it for the Lorde also. He that
eateth, doth it to please the Lorde, for he geueth
God thankes. And he that eateth not,
eateth not, to please the Lorde withall, and
geueth God thankes. For none of vs lyueth
for hym selfe, and no man dyeth for hym selfe.
For yf we lyue, we lyue vnto the Lorde.
And yf we dye, we dye vnto the Lord. Whether
we lyue therfore, or dye, we are the Lordes.
For Christ therfore dyed, and rose agayne,
and reuyued, that he myght be note Lorde of
deed and quycke.
But why doest thou then iudge thy brother?
Other, why doest thou despise thy brother?
C We shalbe all brought before the iudgement
seate of Christ. For it is written: as
truely as I lyue sayth the Lorde: note all knees
shall bowe to me, and all tonges shall geue
prayse to God. So shall euery one of vs geue
acc&obar;ptes of hym selfe to God. Let vs not
therfore iudge one another eny more.
But iudge thys rather, that no m&abar; put a
stomblynge blocke, or an occasyon to fall in
hys brothers waye. For &cross2; I knowe, and
am full certifyed by the Lorde Iesus, that note
ther is nothynge comen of it selfe: but vnto
hym that iudgeth it to be comen: to hym is it
comen. If thy brother be greued wyth thy
meate, nowe walkest thou not charitablye.
D Destroye not hym wyth thy meate, for wh&obar;
Chryst dyed. Cause not youre treasure to be
euyll spok&ebar; of. For the kyngdome of God is
not meate and drynke: but ryghtwesnes, &abar;d
peace and ioye in the holy ghost. For he that
in these th&ibar;ges serueth Chryst, pleaseth God,
and is commended of men.
Let vs therfore folowe those th&ibar;ges which
make for peace, and thynges wherwith one
maye edifye another. Destroye not the worke
of God for a lytell meates sake. noteAll thinges
are pure: but it is euyll for þe; man: which
eateth wyth hurte of conscience. It is good
nether to eate flesshe, nether to drinke wyne
nether eny thynge, wherby thy brother st&obar;bleth,
ether falleth, or is made weake. Hast
þu; fayth? haue it wyth thy selfe before God.
Happy is he, that cond&ebar;pneth not hym selfe,
in the thynge whych he aloweth. For he that
maketh c&obar;science, is dampned yf he eate: because
he eateth not of fayth. For whatsoeuer
is not of fayth, that same is synne. &cross3;
