ⲚⲒⲢⲰⳘⲈⲞⲤ 14
Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲥⲉϣϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲟⲡϥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲕⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲙⲡⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ
Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϥϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
For to this end Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgement seat of Messiah.
For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲡⲓⲑⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲙⲡ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲁⲕⲗⲟ ⲉⲕⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕϩⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲙⲉⲩⲧⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲥⲱ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϥⲧϭⲁⲉⲓⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲉ
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
