Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
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.
Is, qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non iudicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
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.
Tu quis es, qui iudicas alienum servum? Domino suo stat, aut cadit: stabit autem: potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
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.
Nam alius iudicat diem inter diem: alius autem iudicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
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.
Qui sapit diem, Domino sapit: Et qui manducat, Domino manducat: gratias enim agit Deo. Et qui non manducat, Domino non manducat, et gratias agit Deo.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
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.
Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
9 For to this end Messiah died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
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.
Tu autem quid iudicas fratrem tuum? Aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum? Omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
Scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
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.
Non ergo amplius invicem iudicemus: sed hoc iudicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
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.
Scio, et confido in Domino Iesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
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 Messiah died.
Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur: iam non secundum charitatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
16 Then do not let your good be slandered,
Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Non est enim regnum Dei esca, et potus: sed iustitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto:
18 For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
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.
Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei. Omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
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.
Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
Tu fidem habes? Penes temetipsum habe coram Deo: Beatus, qui non iudicat semetipsum in eo, quod probat.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est: quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
