< Romans 14 >
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
Him that is weak in his faith receive with kindness, and not to pass judgment on his thoughts.
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
One man hath faith to eat every kind of food; another, who is weak, eateth herbs only.
3 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.
Let not him who eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth; for God hath received him.
4 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.
Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? To his own lord he standeth or falleth; and he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike: let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord;
6 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.
and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that doth not eat, to the Lord he doth not eat, and giveth thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.
8 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.
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Whether then we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Meshikha died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
10 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.
But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? And thou, too, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall give praise to God.”
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
So then every one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 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.
Let us then no longer judge one another; but let this rather be your judgment, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in a brother's way.
14 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.
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him that accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Meshikha died.
For if on account of food thy brother is made to mourn, thou art no longer walking according to love. Do not with thy food destroy him for whom Christ died.
16 Then do not let your good be slandered,
Let not then the blessing which ye enjoy be evil spoken of.
17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Rukha d'Qudsha.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18 For he who serves Meshikha in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
for he who in this matter serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Let us then strive to promote peace, and the edification of each other.
20 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.
Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is put in danger of falling, or is made weak.
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
Thou hast faith; have it to thyself before God. Happy is he who doth not condemn himself in that which he alloweth.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he doeth it not from faith; but every thing which is not from faith is sin.
