Romans 14

1 And receive him who is weak in the faith—not to determinations of reasonings;

But to him who is weak in the faith give the hand, and be not divided in your thoughts.

2 one believes that he may eat all things—and he who is weak eats herbs;

For there are some who believe that one may eat every thing, and he who is weak; eateth (only) the herb.

3 do not let him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and do not let him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God received him.

But let not him who eateth despise him who eateth not; and he who eateth not, let him not judge him who eateth; for Aloha hath received him.

4 You—who are you that are judging another’s domestic [affairs]? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

Who art thou that judgest a servant who is not thine? who, if he stand, unto his Lord he standeth, and if he fall, falleth unto his Lord. But standing, he standeth; for there is power in the hands of his Lord to make him stand.

5 One judges one day above another, and another judges every day [alike]; let each be fully assured in his own mind.

There is who distinguisheth day from day, and there is who judgeth all days (to be alike); but let every man in the conviction of his (own) mind be confirmed.

6 He who is regarding the day, he regards [it] to the LORD, and he who is not regarding the day, he does not regard [it] to the LORD. He who is eating, he eats to the LORD, for he gives thanks to God; and he who is not eating, he does not eat to the LORD, and gives thanks to God.

He who thinketh of the day, to his Lord he thinketh; and every one who thinketh not of the day, unto his Lord he thinketh not (of it). He who eateth, to his Lord he eateth, and to Aloha giveth thanks;

7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself;

and he who eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to Aloha. For there is no one of us who to himself liveth and no one who to himself dieth.

8 for both, if we may live, we live to the LORD; if also we may die, we die to the LORD; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the LORD’s;

For if we live, to our Lord we live; and if we die, to our Lord we die: and if we live, then, or if we die, our Lord's are we.

9 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that He may be Lord both of dead and of living.

Because of this also the Meshiha died and lived and arose, that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living. But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother?

10 And you, why do you judge your brother? Or again, you, why do you set at nothing your brother? For we will all stand at the judgment seat of the Christ;

Or thou, also, why despisest thou thy brother? For we shall all stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha:

11 for it has been written: “I live! Says the LORD—Every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess to God”;

as it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, unto me every knee shall bow, and to me shall every tongue confess.

12 so, then, each of us will give reckoning to God concerning himself;

Therefore, every one of us the answer for himself shall give unto Aloha.

13 therefore, may we judge one another no longer, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offense.

Then judge not one another, but this determine rather, to lay not a stumbling-block for thy brother.

14 I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean—to that one [it is] unclean;

For I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jeshu, that a thing which is unclean from itself is not (so); but to him who judgeth of any thing that it is polluted, to him only it is polluted.

15 and if your brother is grieved through food, you no longer walk according to love; do not destroy with your food that one for whom Christ died.

But if on account of meat thou grievest thy brother, thou walkest not in love: destroy not by thy meat him on account of whom the Meshiha died.

16 Do not let, then, evil be spoken of your good,

Let not our good (things) be blasphemed.

17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness.

18 for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

For who in these things serveth the Meshiha pleaseth Aloha, and before men is approved.

19 So, then, may we pursue the things of peace, and the things of building up one another.

Now, after peace let us pursue, and after the edification of one another,

20 Do not cast down the work of God for the sake of food; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.

and not for the sake of meats undo the work of Aloha. For each thing is pure, yet evil is it to the man who eateth with offence.

21 [It is] not right to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which your brother stumbles, or is made to fall, or is weak.

It is well not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which our brother is offended.

22 You have faith! Have [it] to yourself before God; blessed is he who is not judging himself in what he approves,

Hast thou confidence? In thyself retain it before Aloha. Blessed is he who condemneth not himself in what he distinguisheth.

23 and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, has been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.

For he who doubteth and eateth is made guilty, because he eateth not with confidence. For every thing that is not of confidence is sin.
