Him that is weake in the fayth receave vnto you not in disputynge and troublynge his conscience.
2 yato niṣiddhaṁ kimapi khādyadravyaṁ nāsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya etādṛśo vidyate kintvadṛḍhaviśvāsaḥ kaścidaparo janaḥ kevalaṁ śākaṁ bhuṅktaṁ|
One beleveth that he maye eate all thinge. Another which is weake eateth earbes.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not. And let not him whiche eateth not iudge him that eateth. For God hath receaved him.
4 he paradāsasya dūṣayitastvaṁ kaḥ? nijaprabhoḥ samīpe tena padasthena padacyutena vā bhavitavyaṁ sa ca padastha eva bhaviṣyati yata īśvarastaṁ padasthaṁ karttuṁ śaknoti|

6 yo janaḥ kiñcana dinaṁ viśeṣaṁ manyate sa prabhubhaktyā tan manyate, yaśca janaḥ kimapi dinaṁ viśeṣaṁ na manyate so'pi prabhubhaktyā tanna manyate; aparañca yaḥ sarvvāṇi bhakṣyadravyāṇi bhuṅkte sa prabhubhaktayā tāni bhuṅkte yataḥ sa īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vakti, yaśca na bhuṅkte so'pi prabhubhaktyaiva na bhuñjāna īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ brūte|
He that observeth one daye more then another doth it for ye lordes pleasure. And he that observeth not one daye moare then another doeth it to please ye lorde also. He that eateth doth it to please the lorde for he geveth god thankes.

8 kintu yadi vayaṁ prāṇān dhārayāmastarhi prabhunimittaṁ dhārayāmaḥ, yadi ca prāṇān tyajāmastarhyapi prabhunimittaṁ tyajāmaḥ, ataeva jīvane maraṇe vā vayaṁ prabhorevāsmahe|
For none of vs lyveth his awne servaut: nether doeth anye of vs dye his awne servaunt. Yf we lyve we lyve to be at ye lordes will. And yf we dye we dye at ye lordes will. Whether we lyve therfore or dye we are the lordes.

But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Other why doest thou despyse thy brother? We shall all be brought before the iudgement seate of Christ.
11 yādṛśaṁ likhitam āste, pareśaḥ śapathaṁ kurvvan vākyametat purāvadat| sarvvo janaḥ samīpe me jānupātaṁ kariṣyati| jihvaikaikā tatheśasya nighnatvaṁ svīkariṣyati|
For it is written: as truely as I lyve sayth ye lorde all knees shall bowe to me and all tonges shall geve a knowledge to God.

It is good nether to eate flesshe nether to drincke wyne nether eny thinge wherby thy brother stombleth ether falleth or is made weake.
22 yadi tava pratyayastiṣṭhati tarhīśvarasya gocare svāntare taṁ gopaya; yo janaḥ svamatena svaṁ doṣiṇaṁ na karoti sa eva dhanyaḥ|
Hast thou fayth? have it with thy selfe before god. Happy is he yt condempneth not him selfe in that thinge which he aloweth.
23 kintu yaḥ kaścit saṁśayya bhuṅkte'rthāt na pratītya bhuṅkte, sa evāvaśyaṁ daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati, yato yat pratyayajaṁ nahi tadeva pāpamayaṁ bhavati|
For he yt maketh conscience is dampned yf he eate: because he doth it not of fayth. For whatsoever is not of fayth that same is synne.
