Romans 14

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

Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.

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

One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

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 that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has 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 master he stands or falls. 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 esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

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.

He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

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

For none of us lives to himself, and none dies 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 both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.

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

For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and 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 judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed 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, I live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.

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

So then each of us shall give an account concerning 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 no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.

14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, 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 of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [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 Christ died.

For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.

16 Then do not let your good be slandered,

Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

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

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.

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

For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

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

So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

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.

For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].

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] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is 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.

Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

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 doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
