^(C1)One person ^(F1)values one day over another, another ^(F1)values every day the same. Each person must be ^(C2)fully convinced in his own mind.

The one who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and the one who eats, ^(F1)does so with regard to the Lord, for he ^(C1)gives thanks to God; and the one who does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.

For not one of us ^(C1)lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;

for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore ^(C1)whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

For to this end ^(C1)Christ died and lived again, that He might be ^(C2)Lord both of the dead and of the living.

But as for you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you as well, why do you ^(C1)regard your brother or sister with contempt? For ^(C2)we will all appear before the judgment seat of God.

For it is written: "^(C1)AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, ^(C2)TO ME EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, AND EVERY TONGUE WILL ^(F1)GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

So then ^(C1)each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

Therefore let's not ^(C1)judge one another anymore, but rather ^(F1)determine this: ^(C2)not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's or sister's way.
