Προς Ρωμαιους 14

1 τον δε ασθενουντα τη πιστει προσλαμβανεσθε μη εις διακρισεις διαλογισμων

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

2 ος μεν πιστευει φαγειν παντα ο δε ασθενων λαχανα εσθιει

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

3 ο εσθιων τον μη εσθιοντα μη εξουθενειτω και ο μη εσθιων τον εσθιοντα μη κρινετω ο θεος γαρ αυτον προσελαβετο

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 συ τις ει ο κρινων αλλοτριον οικετην τω ιδιω κυριω στηκει η πιπτει σταθησεται δε δυνατος γαρ εστιν ο θεος στησαι αυτον

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 ος μεν κρινει ημεραν παρ ημεραν ος δε κρινει πασαν ημεραν εκαστος εν τω ιδιω νοι πληροφορεισθω

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 ο φρονων την ημεραν κυριω φρονει και ο μη φρονων την ημεραν κυριω ου φρονει και ο εσθιων κυριω εσθιει ευχαριστει γαρ τω θεω και ο μη εσθιων κυριω ουκ εσθιει και ευχαριστει τω θεω

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 ουδεις γαρ ημων εαυτω ζη και ουδεις εαυτω αποθνησκει

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 εαν τε γαρ ζωμεν τω κυριω ζωμεν εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν τω κυριω αποθνησκομεν εαν τε ουν ζωμεν εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν του κυριου εσμεν

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 εις τουτο γαρ χριστος και απεθανεν και ανεστη και εζησεν ινα και νεκρων και ζωντων κυριευση

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

10 συ δε τι κρινεις τον αδελφον σου η και συ τι εξουθενεις τον αδελφον σου παντες γαρ παραστησομεθα τω βηματι του χριστου

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou show contempt for thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 γεγραπται γαρ ζω εγω λεγει κυριος οτι εμοι καμψει παν γονυ και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησεται τω θεω

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

12 αρα ουν εκαστος ημων περι εαυτου λογον δωσει τω θεω

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

13 μηκετι ουν αλληλους κρινωμεν αλλα τουτο κρινατε μαλλον το μη τιθεναι προσκομμα τω αδελφω η σκανδαλον

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

14 οιδα και πεπεισμαι εν κυριω ιησου οτι ουδεν κοινον δι αυτου ει μη τω λογιζομενω τι κοινον ειναι εκεινω κοινον

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 ει δε δια βρωμα ο αδελφος σου λυπειται ουκετι κατα αγαπην περιπατεις μη τω βρωματι σου εκεινον απολλυε υπερ ου χριστος απεθανεν

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

16 μη βλασφημεισθω ουν υμων το αγαθον

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17 ου γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου βρωσις και ποσις αλλα δικαιοσυνη και ειρηνη και χαρα εν πνευματι αγιω

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

18 ο γαρ εν τουτοις δουλευων τω χριστω ευαρεστος τω θεω και δοκιμος τοις ανθρωποις

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

19 αρα ουν τα της ειρηνης διωκωμεν και τα της οικοδομης της εις αλληλους

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

20 μη ενεκεν βρωματος καταλυε το εργον του θεου παντα μεν καθαρα αλλα κακον τω ανθρωπω τω δια προσκομματος εσθιοντι

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 offence.

21 καλον το μη φαγειν κρεα μηδε πιειν οινον μηδε εν ω ο αδελφος σου προσκοπτει η σκανδαλιζεται η ασθενει

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 συ πιστιν εχεις κατα σεαυτον εχε ενωπιον του θεου μακαριος ο μη κρινων εαυτον εν ω δοκιμαζει

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he approveth.

23 ο δε διακρινομενος εαν φαγη κατακεκριται οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως παν δε ο ουκ εκ πιστεως αμαρτια εστιν

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