Προς Ρωμαιους 14

1 Τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν.

Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.

2 ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει.

One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

3 ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, (καὶ *k*) ὁ (δὲ *no*) μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω· ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο.

Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

4 σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει. σταθήσεται δέ, (δυνατεῖ *N(k)O*) γὰρ (ἐστιν *k*) ὁ (κύριος *N(K)O*) στῆσαι αὐτόν.

Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

5 ὃς μὲν (γὰρ *no*) κρίνει ἡμέραν παρ᾽ ἡμέραν, ὃς δὲ κρίνει πᾶσαν ἡμέραν· ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ νοῒ πληροφορείσθω.

One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ φρονεῖ (καὶ ὁ μὴ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ οὐ φρονεῖ· *K*) (καὶ *no*) ὁ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ ἐσθίει, εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ θεῷ.

He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

7 οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῇ καὶ οὐδεὶς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνῄσκει.

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

8 ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν, τῷ κυρίῳ ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποθνῄσκομεν. ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τοῦ κυρίου ἐσμέν.

For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.

9 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ Χριστὸς (καὶ *k*) ἀπέθανεν (καὶ ἀνέστη *K*) καὶ (ἔζησεν, *N(k)O*) ἵνα καὶ νεκρῶν καὶ ζώντων κυριεύσῃ.

For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.

10 σὺ δὲ τί κρίνεις τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; ἢ καὶ σὺ τί ἐξουθενεῖς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; πάντες γὰρ παραστησόμεθα τῷ βήματι τοῦ (θεοῦ. *N(K)O*)

But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.

11 γέγραπται γάρ· ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει κύριος, ὅτι ἐμοὶ κάμψει πᾶν γόνυ, καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσεται τῷ θεῷ.

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

12 Ἄρα οὖν ἕκαστος ἡμῶν περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λόγον (δώσει *NK(o)*) τῷ θεῷ.

So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.

13 μηκέτι οὖν ἀλλήλους κρίνωμεν, ἀλλὰ τοῦτο κρίνατε μᾶλλον, τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ ἢ σκάνδαλον.

Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.

14 Οἶδα καὶ πέπεισμαι ἐν κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδὲν κοινὸν δι᾽ (ἑαυτοῦ, *NK(o)*) εἰ μὴ τῷ λογιζομένῳ τι κοινὸν εἶναι, ἐκείνῳ κοινόν·

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.

15 εἰ (γὰρ *N(k)O*) διὰ βρῶμα ὁ ἀδελφός σου λυπεῖται, οὐκέτι οὐκέτι κατὰ ἀγάπην περιπατεῖς. μὴ τῷ βρώματί σου ἐκεῖνον ἀπόλλυε ὑπὲρ οὗ Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν.

For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.

16 μὴ βλασφημείσθω οὖν ὑμῶν τὸ ἀγαθόν.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

17 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ βρῶσις καὶ πόσις ἀλλὰ δικαιοσύνη καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ χαρὰ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ·

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

18 ὁ γὰρ ἐν (τούτῳ *N(K)O*) δουλεύων τῷ Χριστῷ εὐάρεστος τῷ θεῷ καὶ δόκιμος τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.

For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

19 Ἄρα οὖν τὰ τῆς εἰρήνης διώκωμεν καὶ τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς τῆς εἰς ἀλλήλους.

So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

20 μὴ ἕνεκεν βρώματος κατάλυε τὸ ἔργον τοῦ θεοῦ. πάντα μὲν καθαρὰ ἀλλὰ κακὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ διὰ προσκόμματος ἐσθίοντι·

For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].

21 καλὸν τὸ μὴ φαγεῖν κρέα μηδὲ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδὲ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σου προσκόπτει (ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ *KO*)

[It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.

22 σὺ πίστιν (ἣν *no*) ἔχεις κατὰ σεαυτὸν ἔχε ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ· μακάριος ὁ μὴ κρίνων ἑαυτὸν ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει.

Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

23 ὁ δὲ διακρινόμενος ἐὰν φάγῃ κατακέκριται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως· πᾶν δὲ ὃ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως ἁμαρτία ἐστίν.

But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
