6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, ^usince he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

3 who ^dforbid ^emarriage and ^frequire abstinence from foods ^gthat God created ^hto be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For ⁱeverything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is ^jmade holy by the word of God and prayer.
