Romans 14

1 But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not to doubtful disputations.

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

2 One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.

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

3 Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

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 art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

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 man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

One esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

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 liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

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

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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.

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 died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

10 But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

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.

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

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

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

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling.

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.

14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth 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 that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15 For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

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.

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Then do not let your good be slandered,

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

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

18 For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

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

19 So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

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

20 Overthrow not for meat’s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

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.

21 It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth.

It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.

22 The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.

23 But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
