Fundamentals of the Faith


“The Kingdom of God”


Romans chapter 14 verses 7 to 17


(7)  For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
(8)  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
(9)  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
(10)  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
(11)  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
(12)  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
(13)  Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
(14)  I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
(15)  But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
(16)  Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
(17)  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
