| [1]But take ye a sijk man in bileue, not in demyngis of thouytis. |
[1]Him that is weak in the faith, receive unto you, but not for controversies of disputations. |
| [2]For another man leueth, that he mai ete alle thingis; but he that is sijk, ete wortis. |
[2]One believeth that he may eat of all things: and another, which is weak, eateth herbs. |
| [3]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. |
[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]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. |
[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. |
| [5]For whi oon demeth a day bitwixe a dai, another demeth ech dai. |
[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. |
| [6]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. |
[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. |
| [7]For no man of vs lyueth to hymsilf, and no man dieth to hymself. |
[7]For none of us liveth to himself, neither doth any die to himself. |
| [8]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. |
[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. |
| [9]For whi for this thing Crist was deed, and roos ayen, that he be Lord bothe of quyke and of deed men. |
[9]For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quick. |
| [10]But what demest thou thi brothir? or whi dispisist thou thi brothir? for alle we schulen stonde bifore the trone of Crist. |
[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. |
| [11]For it is writun, Y lyue, seith the Lord, for to me ech kne schal be bowid, and ech tunge schal knouleche to God. |
[11]For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, and every knee shall bow to me, and all tongues shall confess unto God. |
| [12]Therfor ech of vs schal yelde resoun to God for hym silf. |
[12]So then everyone of us shall give accounts of himself to God. |
| [13]Therfor `no more deme we ech other; but more deme ye this thing, that ye putte not hirtyng, or sclaundre, to a brothir. |
[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. |
| [14]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. |
[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. |
| [15]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. |
[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. |
| [16]Therfor be not oure good thing blasfemed. |
[16]Cause not your commodity to be evil spoken of. |
| [17]For whi the rewme of God is not mete and drynk, but riytwisnesse and pees and ioye in the Hooli Goost. |
[17]For the kingdom of God is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. |
| [18]And he that in this thing serueth Crist, plesith God, and is proued to men. |
[18]For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, is acceptable unto God, and is approved of men. |
| [19]Therfor sue we tho thingis that ben of pees, and kepe we togidere `tho thingis that ben of edificacioun. |
[19]Let us then follow those things which concern peace, and wherewith one may edify another. |
| [20]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. |
[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. |
| [21]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. |
[21]It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything, whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weak. |
| [22]Thou hast feith anentis thi silf, haue thou bifore God. Blessid is he that demeth not hym silf in that thing that he preueth. |
[22]Hast thou faith? have it with thyself before God: blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
| [23]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. |
[23]For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoever is not of faith, is sin. |
