Romans 14

1 Him that is weake in the fayth receave vnto you not in disputynge and troublynge his conscience.

But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas.

2 One beleveth that he maye eate all thinge. Another which is weake eateth earbes.

For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants.

3 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.

He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him.

4 What arte thou that iudgest another manes servaut? Whether he stonde or faule that pertayneth vnto his master: ye he shall stonde. For God is able to make him stonde.

Who are you to judge the servant of another? He stands or falls by his own Lord. But he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

5 This man putteth difference bitwene daye and daye. Another man counteth all dayes alyke. Se that no man waver in his awne meanynge.

For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind.

6 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.

He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

7 And he yt eateth not eateth not to please ye lorde wt all and geveth god thankes.

For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.

8 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.

For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

9 For Christ therfore dyed and rose agayne and revived that he myght be lorde both of deed and quicke.

For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.

10 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.

So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 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.

For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

12 So shall every one of vs geve accomptes of him selfe to God.

And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.

13 Let vs not therfore iudge one another eny more. But iudge this rather that no man put a stomblynge blocke or an occasion to faule in his brothers waye.

Therefore, we should no longer judge one another. Instead, judge this to a greater extent: that you should not place an obstacle before your brother, nor lead him astray.

14 For I knowe and am full certified in the Lorde Iesus that ther is nothinge comen of it selfe: but vnto him that iudgeth it to be comen: to him is it comen.

I know, with confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But to him who considers anything to be unclean, it is unclean to him.

15 If thy brother be greved with thy meate now walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not him with thy meate for whom Christ dyed.

For if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are not now walking according to love. Do not allow your food to destroy him for whom Christ died.

16 Cause not youre treasure to be evyll spoken of.

Therefore, what is good for us should not be a cause of blasphemy.

17 For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drinke: but rightewesnes peace and ioye in the holy goost.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but rather justice and peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit.

18 For whosoever in these thinges serveth Christ pleaseth well God and is commended of men.

For he who serves Christ in this, pleases God and is proven before men.

19 Let vs folowe tho thinges which make for peace and thinges wherwith one maye edyfie another.

And so, let us pursue the things that are of peace, and let us keep to the things that are for the edification of one another.

20 Destroye not ye worke of god for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is evyll for that man which eateth with hurte of his conscience.

Do not be willing to destroy the work of God because of food. Certainly, all things are clean. But there is harm for a man who offends by eating.

21 It is good nether to eate flesshe nether to drincke wyne nether eny thinge wherby thy brother stombleth ether falleth or is made weake.

It is good to refrain from eating meat and from drinking wine, and from anything by which your brother is offended, or led astray, or weakened.

22 Hast thou fayth? have it with thy selfe before god. Happy is he yt condempneth not him selfe in that thinge which he aloweth.

Do you have faith? It belongs to you, so hold it before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in that by which he is tested.

23 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.

But he who discerns, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
