Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, —not for disputing opinions: —
Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
2 One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs:
Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
3 Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath received him.
Is, qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non iudicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
4 Who art, thou, that judgest another’s domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand, —for his master is able 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 [For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day: —let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded.
Nam alius iudicat diem inter diem: alius autem iudicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
6 He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it, —and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give God thanks.
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, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth;
Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
8 For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord’s, we are; or whether we die, the Lord’s, we are;
Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
9 For, to this end, Christ died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship.
In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
10 But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto 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—Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.
Scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
12 Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.
Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
13 No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather—not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.
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 profane of itself, —save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane,
Scio, et confido in Domino Iesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
15 If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: —do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died!
Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur: iam non secundum charitatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
16 Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;
Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;
Non est enim regnum Dei esca, et potus: sed iustitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto:
18 For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.
qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
19 Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:
Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
20 Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, —
Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei. Omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
21 Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.
Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
22 The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;
Tu fidem habes? Penes temetipsum habe coram Deo: Beatus, qui non iudicat semetipsum in eo, quod probat.
23 But, he that is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself, —because, [it was] not of faith, and, everything which 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.
