Romans 14 is Paul’s word on Christian liberty - how believers with different convictions about food, drink, and holy days can live together without judging or despising each other, because every one of them belongs to the Lord.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Now accept one who is weak in faith but not for disputes over opinions One man has faith to eat all things But he who is weak eats only vegetables Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat
Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats For God has accepted him Who are you who judge another’s servant To his own lord he stands or falls Yes he will be made to stand For God has power to make him stand
One man esteems one day as more important Another esteems every day alike Let each man be fully assured in his own mind He who observes the day observes it to the Lord And he who does not observe the day to the Lord he does not observe it
He who eats eats to the Lord for he gives God thanks He who doesn’t eat to the Lord he doesn’t eat and gives God thanks For none of us lives to himself and none dies to himself For if we live we live to the Lord Or if we die we die to the Lord
If therefore we live or die we are the Lord’s For to this end Christ died rose and lived again That he might be Lord of both the dead and the living But you why do you judge your brother Or you again why do you despise your brother
For we will all stand before the judgement seat of Christ For it is written As I live says the Lord To me every knee will bow Every tongue will confess to God So then each one of us will give account of himself to God
Therefore let’s not judge one another any more But judge this rather that no man put a stumbling block In his brother’s way or an occasion for falling I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself
Except that to him who considers anything to be unclean To him it is unclean Yet if because of food your brother is grieved You walk no longer in love Don’t destroy with your food Him for whom Christ died
