| [1]And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings; |
[1]Him that is weak in the faith, receive unto you, but not for controversies of disputations. |
| [2]one doth believe that he may eat all things -- and he who is weak doth eat herbs; |
[2]One believeth that he may eat of all things: and another, which is weak, eateth herbs. |
| [3]let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him. |
[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]Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. |
[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]One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured. |
[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]He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks 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 none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die; |
[7]For none of us liveth to himself, neither doth any die to himself. |
| [8]for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; |
[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 because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord. |
[9]For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quick. |
| [10]And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; |
[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 hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord -- to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess 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]so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God; |
[12]So then everyone of us shall give accounts of himself to God. |
| [13]no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence. |
[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 have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean -- to that one [it is] unclean; |
[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 through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died. |
[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]Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of, |
[16]Cause not your commodity to be evil spoken of. |
| [17]for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; |
[17]For the kingdom of God is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. |
| [18]for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men. |
[18]For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, is acceptable unto God, and is approved of men. |
| [19]So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another; |
[19]Let us then follow those things which concern peace, and wherewith one may edify another. |
| [20]for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling. |
[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]Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak. |
[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 faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve, |
[22]Hast thou faith? have it with thyself before God: blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
| [23]and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin. |
[23]For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoever is not of faith, is sin. |
