| [1]Him that is weak in the faith, receive unto you, but not for controversies of disputations. |
[1]To him who is feeble in the faith, reach forth the hand. And be not divided in your thoughts. |
| [2]One believeth that he may eat of all things: and another, which is weak, eateth herbs. |
[2]For one man believeth, that he may eat every thing: and he that is feeble, eateth herbs. |
| [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. |
[3]And he that eateth, should not despise him that eateth not; and he that eateth not, should not judge him that eateth, for God hath received him. |
| [4]Who art thou that condemnest another mans servant? he standeth or falleth to his own master: yea, he shall be established: for God is able to make him stand. |
[4]Who art thou, that thou judgest a servant not thine; and who, if he standeth, he standeth to his Lord; and if he falleth, he falleth to his Lord? But he will assuredly stand; for his Lord hath power to establish him. |
| [5]This man esteemeth one day above another day, and another man counteth every day alike: let every man be fully persuaded in his mind. |
[5]One man discriminateth between days; and another judgeth all days alike. But let every one be sure, in regard to his knowledge. |
| [6]He that observeth the day, observeth it to the Lord: and he that observeth not the day, observeth it not to the Lord. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth God thanks: and he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and giveth God thanks. |
[6]He that esteemeth a day, esteemeth [it] for his Lord: and he that esteemeth not a day, for his Lord, he doth not esteem [it.] And he that eateth, eateth to his Lord, and giveth thanks to God: and he that eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God. |
| [7]For none of us liveth to himself, neither doth any die to himself. |
[7]For there is not one of us, who liveth for himself: and there is not one, who dieth for himself. |
| [8]For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. |
[8]Because, if we live, to our Lord it is we live; or if we die, to our Lord it is we die. Whether we live, therefore, or whether we die, we are our Lord's. |
| [9]For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quick. |
[9]Moreover, for this cause Messiah died, and revived, and arose; that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living. |
| [10]But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou despise thy brother? for we shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. |
[10]But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we must all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah, |
| [11]For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, and every knee shall bow to me, and all tongues shall confess unto God. |
[11]as it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow; and to me every tongue shall give praise. |
| [12]So then everyone of us shall give accounts of himself to God. |
[12]So then, every one of us must give account of himself to God. |
| [13]Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but use your judgment rather in this, that no man put an occasion to fall, or a stumbling block before his brother. |
[13]Henceforth, judge ye not one another; but rather, judge ye this, that thou erect not a stumbling-block for thy brother. |
| [14]I know, and am persuaded through the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but unto him that judgeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. |
[14]I know indeed, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing which is unclean in itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him only it is defiled. |
| [15]But if thy brother be grieved for the meat, now walkest thou not charitably: destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. |
[15]But if thou grievest thy brother, because of food, thou walkest not in love. On account of food, destroy not him for whom Messiah died. |
| [16]Cause not your commodity to be evil spoken of. |
[16]And let not our good thing be matter of reproach. |
| [17]For the kingdom of God is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. |
[17]For the kingdom of God, is not food and drink; but is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. |
| [18]For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, is acceptable unto God, and is approved of men. |
[18]For he who is in these things a servant of Messiah, is pleasing to God, and approved before men. |
| [19]Let us then follow those things which concern peace, and wherewith one may edify another. |
[19]Now let us strive after peace, and after the edification of one another. |
| [20]Destroy not the work of God for meats sake: all things indeed are pure: but it is evil for the man which eateth with offence. |
[20]And let us not, on account of food, destroy the work of God. For every thing is, [indeed,] pure; yet it is evil, to the man who eateth with stumbling. |
| [21]It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything, whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weak. |
[21]It is proper, that we neither eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing, whereby our brother is stumbled. |
| [22]Hast thou faith? have it with thyself before God: blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
[22]Thou art one in whom there is faith; keep it to thyself, before God. Blessed is he, who doth not condemn himself, in that thing which he alloweth. |
| [23]For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoever is not of faith, is sin. |
[23]For he who eateth and doubteth, is condemned; because [he eateth] not in faith. For every thing which is not of faith, is sin. |
