Romans 14:2

For another man believeth, that he may eat all things; but he that is sick, [or unsteadfast], eat worts. (For one man believeth, that he can eat anything and everything; but he who is frail or weak, eateth only vegetables and herbs.)

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

In Context

1But take ye a sick man in belief, not in deemings of thoughts, [or not in deceptions, or disputations, of thoughts]. (Accept a man frail or weak in the faith, without judging or arguing about his thoughts and beliefs.)

3He that eateth, despise not him that eateth not; and he that eateth not, deem not him that eateth (or judge not him who eateth). For God hath taken him (un)to him (self), [or For why God hath taken him], (or Because God hath accepted him).
