"Oh, thou knave," said the Lord, "were I to judge as thou judgest, how dost thou think thou couldst have escaped so long?

One man indeed thinketh he may eat all meats; another, who is weak, eateth vegetables. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath accepted him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth; but he shall be established: for God is able to establish him.
