Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you treat your brother as being of no account? For everyone shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ.

Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a snare in our brother's way.

But if anyone says to you, This was offered to idols, do not eat it for the sake of the one who informed you, and because of conscience; for the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.

But if I partake by grace, why am I evil spoken of because of that for which I give thanks?

for before certain men came from Jacob, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you may eat among all the beasts of the earth:

Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that bring up the cud or those that divide the hoof: the camel, because it brings up the cud but does not divide the hoof, is unclean to you;

the hare, because it brings up the cud but does not divide the hoof, is unclean to you;

Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you.

But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that swarm in the water or any living creature which is in the water, they are detestable to you.

Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; it shall be detestable to you.

the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

the ostrich, the owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind;

the white owl, the pelican, and the carrion vulture;

All flying creatures that swarm, going upon all fours shall be detestable to you.

These you may eat: the swarming locust after its kind, the locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until evening;

Any beast that divides the hoof, but is not cloven and split and does not bring up the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.

Whoever carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. They are unclean to you.

the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

Anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead is unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which work is done, it shall be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean.

in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls shall be unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it shall be unclean.

Nevertheless a spring or a cistern, in which there is a collection of water, shall be clean, but whatever touches the carcass shall be unclean.

But if water is put on the seed, and if any part of the carcass has fallen on it, it shall be unclean to you.

He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

Whatever goes on its belly, whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet among all swarming things that swarm on the earth; these you shall not eat, for they are detestable.

For I am Jehovah your God. You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any swarming thing that swarms on the earth.

This is the law of the beasts and the flying creatures and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that swarms on the earth,

And any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.

for it is the soul of all flesh. Its blood is its soul. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the soul of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

Nevertheless, you shall not eat of those that only bring up the cud, or only divide the cloven hoof: the camel, the hare, and the hyrax; for they bring up the cud but do not divide the hoof; they are unclean to you.

These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales.

All clean birds you may eat.

the hawk, the falcon, and the kite after its kind;

the ostrich, the great owl, the seagull, and the hawk after their kinds;

the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant,

Also every swarming thing that flies is unclean to you; they shall not be eaten.

You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the sojourner who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people unto Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

So I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has never been defiled from my youth till now; I have never eaten a carcass or a torn animal, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth.

Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

saying, You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!

I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.

And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; kill and eat.

But the voice answered me again from Heaven, What God has cleansed do not consider unclean.

At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, Send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter,

And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.

If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to prevent God?

but that we write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, from sexual perversion, from things strangled, and from blood.

For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables.

He who regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he who does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

And because of your knowledge the weak brother will perish, the one for whom Christ died.

Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat flesh, so that I not make my brother stumble.

forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be partaken with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

for it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.

concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time when things were set right.

Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

And you shall say to them, This is the offering by fire which you shall offer unto Jehovah: two male lambs of the first year that are whole, day by day, as a continual burnt offering.

And its drink offering shall be one-fourth of a hin for each lamb; in a holy place you shall pour out the strong drink unto Jehovah as an offering.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto Jehovah your God, for in the month of Abib Jehovah your God has brought you out of Egypt by night.

You shall eat nothing leavened with it; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully assured in his own mind.

He who regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he who does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

and to offer the burnt offerings unto Jehovah on the Sabbaths and on the new moons and on the set feasts, by number according to their ordinance, continually before Jehovah;
