“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. — The weak who eat diakrino (doubt, judge, are uncertain) are katakrino (condemned, judged, found guilty) because their eating is not ek pisteōs (from faith, personal conviction). The principle is radical: ho ti ouk ek pisteōs (whatever is not from faith) is hamartia (sin, missing the mark). Not the act but the divorced-from-conviction act is sin.
