Romans 14:1-15
1NowG1161 1acceptG4355 the one who is 2weakG770 in faithG4102, but not for the purpose of passingG1253 judgmentG1253 on his opinionsG1261. 23OneG3739G3303 person hasG4100 faithG4100 that he may eatG2068 allG3956 thingsG3956, but he who is 4weakG770 eatsG2068 vegetablesG3001 only. 3The oneG3739 who eatsG2068 is not to 5regardG1848 with contemptG1848 the oneG3588 who does not eatG2068, and the oneG3739 who does not eatG2068 is not to 6judgeG2919 the oneG3588 who eatsG2068, for GodG2316 has 7acceptedG4355 him. 48WhoG5101 are you to judgeG2919 the 9servantG3610 of anotherG245? To his ownG2398 10masterG2962 he standsG4739 orG2228 fallsG4098; and he will standG2476, for the LordG2962 is ableG1414 to makeG2476 him standG2476.
511OneG3739G3303 person 12regardsG2919 one dayG2250 aboveG3844 anotherG2250, anotherG3739G1161 regardsG2919 everyG3956 dayG2250 alike. EachG1538 personG1538 must be 13fullyG4135 convincedG4135 in his ownG2398 mindG3563. 6He who observesG5426 the dayG2250, observesG5426 it for the LordG2962, and he who eatsG2068, 14doesG2068 soG2068 for the LordG2962, for he 15givesG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316; and he who eatsG2068 not, for the LordG2962 he does not eatG2068, and givesG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316. 7For not oneG3762 of us 16livesG2198 for himselfG1438, and not oneG3762 diesG599 for himselfG1438; 8for ifG1437 we liveG2198, we liveG2198 for the LordG2962, orG5037 ifG1437 we dieG599, we dieG599 for the LordG2962; thereforeG3767 17whetherG1437G5037 we liveG2198 orG1437G5037 dieG599, we are the Lord’sG2962. 9For to thisG3778 end 18ChristG5547 diedG599 and livedG2198 again, that He might be 19LordG2961 bothG2532 of the deadG3498 and of the livingG2198.
10But you, whyG5101 do you judgeG2919 your brotherG80? OrG2228 you againG2532, whyG5101 do you 20regardG1848 your brotherG80 with contemptG1848? For 21we will allG3956 standG3936 beforeG3936 the judgmentG968 seatG968 of GodG2316. 11For it is writtenG1125, “22As I liveG2198, saysG3004 the LordG2962, 23everyG3956 kneeG1119 shall bowG2578 to Me, And everyG3956 tongueG1100 shall 24giveG1843 praiseG1843 to GodG2316.” 12SoG686 thenG686 25eachG1538 oneG1538 of us will giveG1325 an accountG3056 of himselfG1438 to GodG2316.
13ThereforeG3767 let us not 26judgeG2919 oneG240 anotherG240 anymoreG3371, but ratherG3123 determineG2919 thisG3778--27not to putG5087 an obstacleG4348 orG2228 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 in a brother’sG80 way. 14I knowG3609 and am convincedG3982 28in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 that 29nothingG3762 is uncleanG2839 in itselfG1438; but to him who 30thinksG3049 anythingG5100 to be uncleanG2839, to him it is uncleanG2839. 15For ifG1487 becauseG1223 of foodG1033 your brotherG80 is hurtG3076, you are noG3765 longerG3765 31walkingG4043 accordingG2596 to loveG26. 32Do not destroyG622 with your foodG1033 him for whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599.
