Thou who hast faith, have it to thyself before God: and happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he alloweth himself to do.

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

23But he that hath any scruple, is condemned if he eat; because he doth it not with faith: and whatsoever is not of faith, is sin.
