Romans 14

1But him that is weak in faith receive ye, yet not for decision of scruples.

1Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.

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

2One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

3Let 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.

3Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: forGod has received him.

4Who 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.

4Who 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.

5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

5One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6He 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.

6He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he givesGod thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and givesGod thanks.

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

7For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

8For 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.

8For 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.

9For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

9For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.

10But 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.

10But 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 ofGod.

11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

11For it is written, I live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess toGod.

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

12So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself toGod.

13Let 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.

13Let 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.

14I 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.

14I 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.

15For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

15For 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.

16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

16Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

17for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

17for the kingdom ofGod is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.

18For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

18For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable toGod and approved of men.

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

19So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

20Overthrow 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.

20For the sake of meat do not destroy the work ofGod. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].

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

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

22The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

22Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself beforeGod. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

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

23But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
