Some people's faith allows them to eat anything, but the person who is weak in the faith eats only vegetables.

Some people think that a certain day is more important than other days, while others think that all days are the same. We each should firmly make up our own minds.

My union with the Lord Jesus makes me certain that no food is of itself ritually unclean; but if you believe that some food is unclean, then it becomes unclean for you.

But if they have doubts about what they eat, God condemns them when they eat it, because their action is not based on faith. And anything that is not based on faith is sin.

My friends, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right; but you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too.

Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom.

I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate.

What an unhappy man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is taking me to death?

And so I do my best always to have a clear conscience before God and people.

We are proud that our conscience assures us that our lives in this world, and especially our relations with you, have been ruled by God-given frankness and sincerity, by the power of God's grace and not by human wisdom.

And so, my dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us, we have courage in God's presence.
