Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲡϥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧϩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.

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.

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.

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.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ
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.

7 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.
ⲏ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
9 For to this end Christ died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲛϩ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲕⲥⲱϣϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲁⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲛϩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲕⲱⲗϫ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲉⲝⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϯ ⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲙⲕⲁϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲡⲓⲑⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲙⲡ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲁⲕⲗⲟ ⲉⲕⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕϩⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲙⲉⲩⲧⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
16 Then do not let your good be slandered,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ϭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ
17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲥⲱ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲙϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲡⲱⲧ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
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.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁⲗⲩ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲣⲟⲡ
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.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲙⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲥⲉ ⲏⲣⲡ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲏ ⲛϥⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲏ ⲛϥϭⲃⲃⲉ
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
