1. Welcome anyone who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2. One person believes that one may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
3. The one who eats must not despise the one who abstains, and the one who abstains must not pass judgment on the one who eats; for God has welcomed him.
4. Who are you to pass judgment on someone else’s servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5. [For] one person considers one day more important than another, while another person considers all days alike. Let everyone be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6. Whoever observes the day, observes it for the Lord. Also whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while whoever abstains, abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7. None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself.
