“Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.”
So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. — Pistis (faith, conviction) hēn echeis pros seauton echē (keep to yourself before God) acknowledges that conscience is God's domain. Makarios (blessed, happy) the one who doesn't condemn himself through his own dokimazo (approval, testing). Self-judgment can paralyze; freedom to own conviction before God liberates.
