| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 2 For instance, a person who has been around for a while might well be convinced that he can eat anything on the table, while another, with a different background, might assume all Christians should be vegetarians and eat accordingly. | 2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. |
