Romans 14

1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧϩⲧ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ.

2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.

ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲇⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲟⲧⲉ.

3 Do not let the one who eats despise the one who does not eat. Do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲥⲉϣϥ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.

4 Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for the Lord has power to make him stand.

ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲕⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲙⲡⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲉ. ϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅.

5 One esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ.

6 The one who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and the one who does not observe the day, he does not observe it to the Lord. The one who eats, he eats to the Lord; since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.

ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ϥϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.

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

ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ.

8 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.

ⲏ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϣⲁ(ⲛ)ⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛⲛⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.

9 For to this end Messiah died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲛϩ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅.

10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ (ⲕ)ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲏ̅ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲕⲥⲱϣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ. ⲧⲛⲁⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.

11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲕⲱⲗϫ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲉⲝⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.

12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ (ⲉ)ⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϯⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.

13 Therefore let us not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or an occasion for falling.

ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲁϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ. ⲏ̅ ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ.

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

ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲡⲓⲑⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.

15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.

ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲁⲕⲗⲟ ⲉⲕⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϩⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲩⲧⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ.

16 Then do not let your good be slandered,

ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ϭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ.

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

ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲥⲱ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.

18 For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.

ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲙ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϥⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ.

19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ.

20 Do not overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for anyone who creates a stumbling block by eating.

ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲗⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲣⲟⲡ.

21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.

ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲁϥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲥⲉⲏⲣⲡ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲛϥ̅ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲛϥ̅ϭⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.

22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.

ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.

23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϥⲧϭⲁⲉⲓⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲉ.
