Romans 14
1 Him that is weake in the faith, receiue vnto you, but not for controuersies of disputations.
Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
2 One beleeueth that he may eate of all things: and another, which is weake, eateth herbes.
Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
3 Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, condemne him that eateth: for God hath receiued him.
Is, qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non iudicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
4 Who art thou that condemnest another mans seruant? hee standeth or falleth to his owne master: yea, he shalbe established: for God is able to make him stand.
Tu quis es, qui iudicas alienum servum? Domino suo stat, aut cadit: stabit autem: potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
5 This man esteemeth one day aboue another day, and another man counteth euery day alike: let euery man be fully perswaded in his minde.
Nam alius iudicat diem inter diem: alius autem iudicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
6 He that obserueth the day, obserueth it to the Lord: and he that obserueth not the day, obserueth it not to the Lord. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giueth God thankes: and he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and giueth God thankes.
Qui sapit diem, Domino sapit: Et qui manducat, Domino manducat: gratias enim agit Deo. Et qui non manducat, Domino non manducat, et gratias agit Deo.
7 For none of vs liueth to himselfe, neither doeth any die to himselfe.
Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
8 For whether wee liue, we liue vnto the Lord: or whether we die, we die vnto the Lord: whether we liue therefore, or die, we are the Lords.
Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
9 For Christ therefore died and rose againe, and reuiued, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quicke.
In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
10 But why doest thou condemne thy brother? or why doest thou despise thy brother? for we shall all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ.
Tu autem quid iudicas fratrem tuum? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum? Omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
11 For it is written, I liue, sayth the Lord, and euery knee shall bowe to me, and all tongues shall confesse vnto God.
scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
12 So then euery one of vs shall giue accounts of himselfe to God.
Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
13 Let vs not therefore iudge one another any more: but vse your iudgement rather in this, that no man put an occasion to fall, or a stumbling blocke before his brother.
Non ergo amplius invicem iudicemus: sed hoc iudicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
14 I know, and am perswaded through the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but vnto him that iudgeth any thing to be vncleane, to him it is vncleane.
Scio, et confido in Domino Iesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
15 But if thy brother be grieued for the meate, nowe walkest thou not charitably: destroy not him with thy meate, for whome Christ dyed.
Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur: iam non secundum charitatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
16 Cause not your commoditie to be euill spoken of.
Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
17 For the kingdome of God, is not meate nor drinke, but righteousnes, and peace, and ioye in the holy Ghost.
Non est enim regnum Dei esca, et potus: sed iustitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu sancto:
18 For whosoeuer in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable vnto God, and is approoued of men.
qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
19 Let vs then follow those things which concerne peace, and wherewith one may edifie another.
Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
20 Destroy not the worke of God for meates sake: all things in deede are pure: but it is euill for the man which eateth with offence.
Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei. omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
21 It is good neither to eate flesh, nor to drinke wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weake.
Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
22 Hast thou faith? haue it with thy selfe before God: blessed is hee that condemneth not himselfe in that thing which he aloweth.
Tu fidem habes? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo: Beatus, qui non iudicat semetipsum in eo, quod probat.
23 For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eate, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne.
Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est: quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
