judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the
Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days
alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ...

vineyards for myself. I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees. ...
