King James Version
KJV
[1]Hym that is weake in the fayth, receaue: not to iudgementes of disputyng [1]Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
[2]One beleueth yt he may eate euery thyng: Another which is weake, eateth hearbes [2]For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
[3]Let not hym that eateth, dispise hym that eateth not: And let not hym which eateth not, iudge hym that eateth. For God hath receaued hym [3]Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
[4]What art thou that iudgest another mans seruaunt? To his owne maister he standeth or falleth: Yea, he shalbe holden vp. For god is able to make him stande [4]Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
[5]This man putteth difference betwene day and day. Another man counteth all dayes alyke. Let euery man be fully perswaded in his owne mynde [5]One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
[6]He that esteemeth the day, esteemeth it vnto ye Lorde: And he that esteemeth not the day to the Lorde, he doeth not esteeme it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lorde, for he geueth God thankes: And he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lorde, and geueth God thankes [6]He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto 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.
[7]For none of vs lyueth to hym selfe, and no man dyeth to hym selfe [7]For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
[8]For yf we lyue, we lyue vnto ye Lorde: And if we dye, we dye vnto the Lorde. Whether we lyue therfore, or dye, we are the Lordes [8]For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
[9]For to this ende Christe both dyed and rose agayne and reuyued, that he myght be Lorde both of dead & quicke [9]For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
[10]But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Either, why doest thou despise thy brother? We shalbe all brought before the iudgement seate of Christe [10]But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
[11]For it is written, I lyue, sayth the Lorde: and all knees shall bowe to me, & all tongues shall geue prayse to 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.
[12]So shal euery one of vs geue accompt of hym selfe to God [12]So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
[13]Let vs not therfore iudge one another any more: But iudge this rather, that no man put a stumblyng blocke, or an occasion to fall, in his brothers way [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.
[14]For I knowe, and am perswaded by the Lorde Iesus, that there is nothyng common of it selfe: but vnto hym that iudgeth it to be common, to hym is it common [14]I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
[15]But yf thy brother be greeued with thy meat, nowe walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not hym with thy meat, for whom Christe dyed [15]But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
[16]Let not your good be euyll spoken of [16]Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
[17]For the kyngdome of God, is not meat and drinke: but righteousnesse, & peace, and ioy in the holy ghost [17]For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
[18]For he that in these thynges serueth Christe, pleaseth God, and is comended of men [18]For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
[19]Let vs therfore folowe those thynges which make for peace, & thynges wherwith one may edifie another [19]Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
[20]Destroy not the worke of God for meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is euyll for that man, which eateth with offence [20]For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
[21]It is good neither to eate fleshe, neither to drinke wine, neither any thyng wherby thy brother stumbleth, either falleth, or is made weake [21]It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
[22]Hast thou fayth? Haue it with thy selfe before God. Happy is he that condempneth not hym selfe in the thyng which he aloweth [22]Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
[23]For he that maketh conscience, is damned yf he eate, because [he eateth] not of fayth: For whatsoeuer is not of fayth, is sinne [23]And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
