Romans 14:22

Do you have faith? By yourself, have it before God. Blessed is he that does not condemn himself in what he approves.

English Majority Text (NT)

In The King James Version

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

In Context

23But he who doubts, if he eats, has been condemned, because it is not of faith; and everything which is not of faith is sin.
