Löydetty 20764 Tulokset: Or

• Who art thou, to pass judgement on the servant of another? Whether he keeps his feet or falls,✻ concerns none but his master. And keep his feet he will; God is well able to give him a sure footing. (Romans 14, 4)

• He who observes the day, observes it in the Lord’s honour. Just so, he who eats does so in the Lord’s honour; he gives thanks to God for it; and he who abstains from eating abstains in the Lord’s honour, and he too thanks God. (Romans 14, 6)

• While we live, we live as the Lord’s servants, when we die, we die as the Lord’s servants; in life and in death, we belong to the Lord. (Romans 14, 8)

• That was why Christ died and lived again; he would be Lord both of the dead and of the living. (Romans 14, 9)

• And who art thou, to pass judgement on thy brother? Who art thou, to mock at thy brother? We shall all stand, one day, before the judgement-seat of Christ; (Romans 14, 10)

• (so we read in scripture, As I live, says the Lord, there is no knee but shall bend before me, no tongue but shall pay homage to God);✻ (Romans 14, 11)

• and so each of us will have to give an account of himself before God. (Romans 14, 12)

• Let us cease, then, to lay down rules for one another, and make this rule for ourselves instead, not to trip up or entangle a brother’s conscience. (Romans 14, 13)

• This is my assurance, this is what my conscience tells me in the name of our Lord Jesus, that there is nothing which is unclean in itself; it is only when a man believes a thing to be unclean that it becomes unclean for him.✻ (Romans 14, 14)

• And if thy brother’s peace of mind is disturbed over food, it is because thou art neglecting to follow the rule of charity. Here is a soul for which Christ died; it is not for thee to bring it to perdition with the food thou eatest. (Romans 14, 15)

• We must not allow that which is a good thing for us to be brought into disrepute.✻ (Romans 14, 16)

• The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating or drinking this or that; it means rightness of heart, finding our peace and our joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14, 17)
