Romans 14

1 Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.

But take ye a sijk man in bileue, not in demyngis of thouytis.

2 One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

For another man leueth, that he mai ete alle thingis; but he that is sijk, ete wortis.

3 Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

He that etith, dispise not hym that etith not; and he that etith not, deme not hym that etith. For God hath take him to hym.

4 Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Who art thou, that demest anothris seruaunt? To his lord he stondith, or fallith fro hym. But he schal stonde; for the Lord is myyti to make hym parfit.

5 One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

For whi oon demeth a day bitwixe a dai, another demeth ech dai.

6 He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

Ech man encrees in his wit. He that vnderstondith the dai, vnderstondith to the Lord. And he that etith, etith to the Lord, for he doith thankyngis to God. And he that etith not, etith not to the Lord, and doith thankyngis to God.

7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

For no man of vs lyueth to hymsilf, and no man dieth to hymself.

8 For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.

For whether we lyuen, we lyuen to the Lord; and whethir we dien, we dien to the Lord. Therfor whethir we lyuen or dien, we ben of the Lord.

9 For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.

For whi for this thing Crist was deed, and roos ayen, that he be Lord bothe of quyke and of deed men.

10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.

But what demest thou thi brothir? or whi dispisist thou thi brothir? for alle we schulen stonde bifore the trone of Crist.

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

For it is writun, Y lyue, seith the Lord, for to me ech kne schal be bowid, and ech tunge schal knouleche to God.

12 So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.

Therfor ech of vs schal yelde resoun to God for hym silf.

13 Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.

Therfor `no more deme we ech other; but more deme ye this thing, that ye putte not hirtyng, or sclaundre, to a brothir.

14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.

I woot and triste in the Lord Jhesu, that no thing is vnclene bi hym, no but to him that demeth ony thing to be vnclene, to him it is vnclene.

15 For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.

And if thi brother be maad sori in conscience for mete, now thou walkist not aftir charite. Nyle thou thorouy thi mete lese hym, for whom Crist diede.

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

Therfor be not oure good thing blasfemed.

17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.

For whi the rewme of God is not mete and drynk, but riytwisnesse and pees and ioye in the Hooli Goost.

18 For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

And he that in this thing serueth Crist, plesith God, and is proued to men.

19 So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

Therfor sue we tho thingis that ben of pees, and kepe we togidere `tho thingis that ben of edificacioun.

20 For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].

Nyle thou for mete distrie the werk of God. For alle thingis ben clene, but it is yuel to the man that etith bi offendyng.

21 [It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.

It is good to not ete fleisch, and to not drynke wyn, nethir in what thing thi brother offendith, or is sclaundrid, or is maad sijk.

22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

Thou hast feith anentis thi silf, haue thou bifore God. Blessid is he that demeth not hym silf in that thing that he preueth.

23 But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.

For he that demeth, is dampned, if he etith; for it is not of feith. And al thing that is not of feith, is synne.
