Romans 14

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

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.

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

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

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.

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth: for God hath received 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 art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth: and he shall be held up: for God is able 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 man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded 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.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] to the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

7 For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth 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 whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, 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 both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of 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 why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.

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, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

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

So then every one of us shall 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.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.

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 by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing 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.

But if thy brother is grieved with [thy] food, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

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 food and drink, but righteousness, and 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 that in these things serveth Christ, [is] acceptable to God, and approved by men.

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

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.

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.

For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offense.

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

[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] by which thy brother stumbleth, 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.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

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

And he that doubteth is damned if he eateth, because [he eateth] not from faith: for whatever [is] not from faith is sin.
