Romans 14

1 Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, —not for disputing opinions: —

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

2 One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs:

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

3 Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath 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 another’s domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand, —for his master 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 [For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day: —let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded.

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

6 He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it, —and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give 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, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth;

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

8 For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord’s, we are; or whether we die, the Lord’s, we are;

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 died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship.

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 dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto 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—Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto 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 Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.

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

13 No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather—not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.

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 profane of itself, —save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane,

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 If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: —do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ 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 Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;

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 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 doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.

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

19 Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:

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

20 Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, —

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 Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.

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 The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;

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 is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself, —because, [it was] not of faith, and, everything which 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.
