Romans
Chapter 14
14:1 But receive him who is weak in the faith, yet not *for the discerning which comes from reasonings.
14:2 One man has faith to eat all things, but another who is weak eats herbs.
14:3 Do not let him who eats scorn him who does not eat, and do not let him who does not eat judge him who eats; for* God has received him.
14:4 Who are you who is judging another's domestic servant? He stands or falls to his own lord. Now, he will be made to stand; for* God has power to make him stand.
14:5 One man is judging one day above another; another is judging every day the same. Let each one be fully assured in his own mind.
14:6 He who is mindful of the day, is mindful of it to the Lord and he who is not mindful of the day, is not mindful of it to the Lord and he who eats, eats to the Lord, for* he gives-thanks to God. And he who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord and gives-thanks to God.
14:7 For* none of us is living to himself and none dies to himself.
14:8 For* in both, if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord; therefore in both, if we live or die, we are the Lord's.
14:9 For* Christ both died and rose* up and lived *for this, that* he might have lordship over both the dead and the living.
14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you scorn your brother? For* we will all stand before the judicial-seat of Christ.
14:11 For* it has been written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me and every tongue will confess to God.' {Is. 45:23}
14:12 Then* consequently, each one of us will give an account concerning himself to God.
14:13 Therefore we should not judge one another any longer, but rather judge this: you are not to place a stumbling block or offense in the way of the brother.
14:14 I know and have confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is desecrated through itself, except to him who counts something to be desecrated, to him it is desecrated.
14:15 But if your brother is made sorrowful because of food, you no longer walk according to love*. Do not destroy him, on behalf of whom Christ died, with your food.
14:16 Then* do not let your* good be blasphemed;
14:17 for* the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18 For* he who is serving* Christ in these things is well pleasing to God and tested by men.
14:19 Then* consequently, we may pursue the things of peace and the things for building up one another.
14:20 Do not tear-down the work of God because of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil to that man who eats through a stumbling block.
14:21 It is good not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor anything in which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weak.
14:22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God! He who is not judging himself in what he is approving, is fortunate.
14:23 But he who is making distinction has been condemned if he eats, because he does not eat out of faith, and whatever is not from faith is sin.
14:24 Now to him who is able to establish you* according to my good-news and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept-silent in times everlasting,
14:25 but now is manifested and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, is made known to all the nations to obedience of faith;
14:26 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ: to whom is the glory forever. Amen.
