14:1 |
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. |
And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings; |
14:2 |
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. |
one doth believe that he may eat all things -- and he who is weak doth eat herbs; |
14:3 |
Let 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. |
let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him. |
14:4 |
Who 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. |
Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. |
14:5 |
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. |
One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day `alike'; let each in his own mind be fully assured. |
14:6 |
He 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. |
He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard `it', and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard `it'. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God. |
14:7 |
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. |
For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die; |
14:8 |
For 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. |
for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; |
14:9 |
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. |
for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord. |
14:10 |
But 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. |
And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; |
14:11 |
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. |
for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord -- to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;' |
14:12 |
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. |
so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God; |
14:13 |
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. |
no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence. |
14:14 |
I 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. |
I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing `is' unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean -- to that one `it is' unclean; |
14:15 |
But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. |
and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died. |
14:16 |
Let not then your good be evil spoken of: |
Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of, |
14:17 |
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. |

for he who in these things is serving the Christ, `is' acceptable to God and approved of men. |
14:19 |
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. |
So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another; |
14:20 |
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. |

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. |
and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because `it is' not of faith; and all that `is' not of faith is sin. |
