Chap. XIIII.
Like a moderator and peacemaker betvvene the firme Christians (vvho vvere the
Gentils) and the infirme (vvho vvere the Christian Ievves, hauing yet a scruple
to cease from keeping the ceremonial meates and daies of Moyses Lavv) he exhorteth
the Ievv not to condemne the Gentil vsing his libertie: and the Gentil againe,
not to condemne the scrupulous Iew: but rather to abstaine from vsing his libertie,
then offending: the Ievv, to be an occasion vnto him of apostating.
1 And him that is vveake in faith, take vnto
you: not in disputations of cogitati&obar;s.
2 For one beleeueth that he may09Q1036 eate al
things: but he that is vveake, note let him
eate herbes.
3 Let not him that eateth,
despise him that eateth not: and he that
eateth not: let him not iudge him that
eateth. for God hath taken him to him.
4 Vvho art thou
that iudgest an other mans seruant? To his ovvne Lord he
standeth or falleth. and he shal stand: for God is able to make
him stand.
5 For one iudgeth09Q1037 betvveene day and day: and
an other iudgeth euery day. let euery one abound09Q1038 in his
ovvne sense.
6 He that respecteth the day, respecteth to our
-- --
Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to our Lord: for he giueth
thankes to God. And he that eateth not, to our Lord he eateth
not, and giueth thankes to God.
7 For none of vs liueth to
him self & no man dieth to him self.
8 For whether vve liue,
we liue to our Lord: or vvhether we die, we die to our Lord.
Therfore vvhether vve liue, or vvhether vve die, vve are our
Lords.
9 For to this end Christ died and rose againe: that he
may haue dominion both of the dead and of the liuing.
10 But thou, vvhy iudgest thou thy brother? or thou, vvhy
doest thou despise thy brother? For note vve shal al stand before
the iudgement seate of Christ.
11 For it is vvritten, liue 1, saith
our Lord, that euery knee shal bovve to me: and euery tongue shal confesse to
God. note
12 Therfore euery one of vs for him self shal render account
to God.
13 Let vs therfore no more iudge one an other.
but this iudge ye rather, that you put not a stumbling
blocke or a scandal to your brother.
14 I knovv and am persuaded
in our Lord Iesvs Christ, that nothing is note c&obar;mon
of it self, but to him that supposeth, any thing to be c&obar;mon,
to him it is common.
15 For if because of meate thy brother
be greeued: novv thou vvalkest not according to charitie.
noteDo not vvith thy meate destroy him for vvhom Christ
died.
16 Let not then our good be blasphemed.
17 For the
kingdom of God is09Q1039 not meate and drinke: but iustice, and
peace, and ioy in the holy Ghost.
18 for he that in this serueth
Christ, pleaseth God, and is acceptable to men.
19 Therfore
the things that are of peace let vs pursue: and the things that
are of edifying one tovvard an other let vs keepe.
20 Destroy
not the vvorke of God for meate. noteAl things in deede are
cleane: but it is il for the man that eateth by giuing offence.
21 It is good not to eate flesh, and not to drinke vvine, not
that vvherein thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or
vveakened.
22 Hast thou faith?09Q1040 haue it vvith thy self before
God. Blessed is he that iudgeth not him self in that vvhich he
approueth.
23 But09Q1041he that discerneth, if he eate, is damned:
because not of faith. for09Q1042al that is not of faith, is sinne.
