Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.

Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.

The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves.

Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.

Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.

Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.

You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and God. Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right.

Welcome  anyone who is weak in faith,  but don’t argue about disputed matters.

Who are you to judge  another’s household servant? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand, because the Lord is able  to make him stand.

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Whatever you believe about these things, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.

Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do. And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with—even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently.

For instance, a person who has been around for a while might well be convinced that he can eat anything on the table, while another, with a different background, might assume he should only be a vegetarian and eat accordingly. But since both are guests at Christ’s table, wouldn’t it be terribly rude if they fell to criticizing what the other ate or didn’t eat? God, after all, invited them both to the table. Do you have any business crossing people off the guest list or interfering with God’s welcome? If there are corrections to be made or manners to be learned, God can handle that without your help.

So where does that leave you when you criticize a brother? And where does that leave you when you condescend to a sister? I’d say it leaves you looking pretty silly—or worse. Eventually, we’re all going to end up kneeling side by side in the place of judgment, facing God. Your critical and condescending ways aren’t going to improve your position there one bit. Read it for yourself in Scripture: “As I live and breathe,” God says, “every knee will bow before me; Every tongue will tell the honest truth that I and only I am God.” So mind your own business. You’ve got your hands full just taking care of your own life before God.

Cultivate your own relationship with God, but don’t impose it on others. You’re fortunate if your behavior and your belief are coherent. But if you’re not sure, if you notice that you are acting in ways inconsistent with what you believe—some days trying to impose your opinions on others, other days just trying to please them—then you know that you’re out of line. If the way you live isn’t consistent with what you believe, then it’s wrong.

Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not to have quarrels over opinions.

Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is the one who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

As for the one whose faith is weak, accept him [into your fellowship], but not for [the purpose of] quarreling over his opinions.

Who are you to judge the servant of another? Before his own master he stands [approved] or falls [out of favor]. And he [who serves the Master—the Lord] will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

The faith which you have [that gives you freedom of choice], have as your own conviction before God [just keep it between yourself and God, seeking His will]. Happy is he who has no reason to condemn himself for what he approves.

Now receive the one who is weak in the faith, and do not have disputes over differing opinions.

Who are you to pass judgment on another’s servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.
