Romans 14

1Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.

1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

2For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.

2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.

3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.

4Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day. Let every man abound in his own sense.

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

6He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God.

6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto 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.

7For none of us liveth to himself: and no man dieth to himself.

7For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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

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

10But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? Or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

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

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

12Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.

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

13Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother's way.

13Let 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.

14I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

16Let not then our good be evil spoken of.

16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but justice and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men.

18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

19Therefore, let us follow after the things that are of peace and keep the things that are of edification, one towards another.

19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21It is good not to eat flesh and not to drink wine: nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended or scandalized or made weak.

21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

22Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

23But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.

23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
