Romans 14
1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
RECIBID al flaco en la fé, [y] no para contiendas de disputas.
2 For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.
Porque uno cree que se ha de comer de todas cosas: otro [que es] débil, come legumbres.
3 The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.
El que come, no menosprecie al que no come: y el que no come, no juzgue al que come; porque Dios le ha levantado.
4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
¿Tú, quién eres, que juzgas el siervo ajeno? para su señor está en pié, ó cae: mas se afirmará, que poderoso es el Señor para afirmarle.
5 One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
Uno hace diferencia entre dia y dia; otro juzga [iguales] todos los dias. Cada uno esté asegurado en su ánimo.
6 He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
El que hace caso del dia, háce[lo] para el Señor; y el que no hace caso del dia, no lo hace [asimismo] para el Señor. El que come, come para el Señor, porque da gracias á Dios: y el que no come, no come para el Señor, y da gracias á Dios.
7 For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para sí; y ninguno muere para sí.
8 If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Que si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos; y si morimos, para el Señor morimos. Así que, ó que vivamos, ó que muramos, del Señor somos.
9 For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Porque Cristo para esto murió, y resucitó, y volvió á vivir, para ser Señor así de los muertos como de los que viven.
10 Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
Mas tú ¿por qué juzgas á tu hermano? O tú tambien ¿por qué menosprecias á tu hermano? porque todos hemos de estar ante el tribunal de Cristo.
11 It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”
Porque escrito esta: Vivo yo, dice el Señor, que á mí se doblará toda rodilla, y toda lengua confesará á Dios.
12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
De manera que cada uno de nosotros dará á Dios razon de sí.
13 Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
Así que, no juzguemos más los unos de los otros; ántes bien juzgad de no poner tropiezo ó escándalo al hermano.
14 I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
Yo sé, y confio en el Señor Jesus que de suyo nada [hay] inmundo: mas á aquel que piensa alguna cosa ser inmunda, para él [es] inmunda.
15 If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.
Empero si por causa de la comida tu hermano es contristado, ya no andas conforme á la caridad. No arruines con tu comida á aquel por el cual Cristo murió.
16 Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
No sea pues blasfemado vuestro bien:
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Que el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida; sino justicia, y paz, y gozo por el Espíritu Santo.
18 For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
Porque el que en esto sirve á Cristo, agrada á Dios, y [es] acepto á los hombres.
19 So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Así que, sigamos lo que hace á la paz, y á la edificacion de los unos á los otros.
20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.
No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de la comida. Todas las cosas á la verdad [son] limpias: mas malo [es] al hombre que come con escándalo.
21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.
Bueno [es] no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni [nada] en que tu hermano tropiece ó se ofenda, ó sea debilitado.
22 Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
¿Tienes tu fé? Ténla para contigo delante de Dios. Bienaventurado el que no se condena á sí mismo con lo que aprueba.
23 But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
Mas el que hace diferencia, si comiere, es condenado, porque no [comió] por fé: y todo lo que no [procede] de fé, es pecado.
