Romans 14

1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

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

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

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

3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

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.

4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. And, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

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.

5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

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

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

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.

7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

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

8 For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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.

9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

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

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou show contempt for thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

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.

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

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

12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

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

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

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.

14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

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 But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not in love. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.

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.

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Then do not let your good be slandered,

17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

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

19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things which one may edify another.

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

20 For the sake of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

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.

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

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

22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he approveth.

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

23 And he that doubteth is condemned if he eateth, because he eateth not from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin.

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