Romans 14:2

Read in context

Romans 14:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.

2 For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.

3 The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.

4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
