< Romans 14 >

1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.
But to him who is weak in the faith give the hand, and be not divided in your thoughts.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
For there are some who believe that one may eat every thing, and he who is weak; eateth (only) the herb.
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.
But let not him who eateth despise him who eateth not; and he who eateth not, let him not judge him who eateth; for Aloha hath received him.
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.
Who art thou that judgest a servant who is not thine? who, if he stand, unto his Lord he standeth, and if he fall, falleth unto his Lord. But standing, he standeth; for there is power in the hands of his Lord to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
There is who distinguisheth day from day, and there is who judgeth all days (to be alike); but let every man in the conviction of his (own) mind be confirmed.
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 thinketh of the day, to his Lord he thinketh; and every one who thinketh not of the day, unto his Lord he thinketh not (of it). He who eateth, to his Lord he eateth, and to Aloha giveth thanks;
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
and he who eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to Aloha. For there is no one of us who to himself liveth and no one who to himself dieth.
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 if we live, to our Lord we live; and if we die, to our Lord we die: and if we live, then, or if we die, our Lord's are we.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Because of this also the Meshiha died and lived and arose, that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living. But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother?
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.
Or thou, also, why despisest thou thy brother? For we shall all stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha:
11 For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
as it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, unto me every knee shall bow, and to me shall every tongue confess.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Therefore, every one of us the answer for himself shall give unto Aloha.
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.
Then judge not one another, but this determine rather, to lay not a stumbling-block for thy brother.
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.
For I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jeshu, that a thing which is unclean from itself is not (so); but to him who judgeth of any thing that it is polluted, to him only it is polluted.
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.
But if on account of meat thou grievest thy brother, thou walkest not in love: destroy not by thy meat him on account of whom the Meshiha died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Let not our good (things) be blasphemed.
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men.
For who in these things serveth the Meshiha pleaseth Aloha, and before men is approved.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Now, after peace let us pursue, and after the edification of one another,
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 not for the sake of meats undo the work of Aloha. For each thing is pure, yet evil is it to the man who eateth with offence.
21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
It is well not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which our brother is offended.
22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Hast thou confidence? In thyself retain it before Aloha. Blessed is he who condemneth not himself in what he distinguisheth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
For he who doubteth and eateth is made guilty, because he eateth not with confidence. For every thing that is not of confidence is sin.
