Romans 14

1 Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.

One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.

3 Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.

Do not let the one who eats despise the one who does not eat. Do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.

Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for the Lord has power to make him stand.

5 For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.

One esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

The one who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and the one who does not observe the day, he does not observe it to the Lord. The one who eats, he eats to the Lord; since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.

7 For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.

For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.

9 For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

For to this end Messiah died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

11 For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

12 Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.

So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother’s way.

Therefore let us not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or an occasion for falling.

14 I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15 For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.

16 Let not then our good be evil spoken of.

Then do not let your good be slandered,

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

18 For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.

For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.

19 Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.

So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

20 Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

Do not overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for anyone who creates a stumbling block by eating.

21 It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.

It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.

22 Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.

23 But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
