Romans 14:1-17
1NowG1161 1acceptG4355 the one who is 2weakG770 3in faithG4102, but not 4to have quarrelsG1253 over opinionsG1261. 25OneG3739G3303 person hasG4100 faithG4100 that he may eatG2068 allG3956 thingsG3956, but the one who is 6weakG770 eatsG2068 only vegetablesG3001. 3The oneG3739 who eatsG2068 is not to 7regardG1848 withG1848 contemptG1848 the oneG3588 who does not eatG2068, and the oneG3739 who does not eatG2068 is not to 8judgeG2919 the oneG3588 who eatsG2068, for GodG2316 has 9acceptedG4355 him. 410WhoG5101 are you to judgeG2919 the 11servantG3610 of anotherG245? To his ownG2398 12masterG2962 he standsG4739 orG2228 fallsG4098; and he will standG2476, for the LordG2962 is ableG1414 to makeG2476 him standG2476.
513OneG3739G3303 person 14valuesG2919 one dayG2250 overG3844 anotherG2250, anotherG3739G1161 15valuesG2919 everyG3956 dayG2250 the same. EachG1538 personG1538 must be 16fullyG4135 convincedG4135 in his ownG2398 mindG3563. 6The one who observesG5426 the dayG2250, observesG5426 it for the LordG2962, and the one who eatsG2068, 17doesG2068 soG2068 with regard to the LordG2962, for he 18givesG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316; and the one who does not eatG2068, it is for the LordG2962 that he does not eatG2068, and he givesG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316. 7For not oneG3762 of us 19livesG2198 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 20whetherG1437G5037 we liveG2198 orG1437G5037 dieG599, we are the Lord’sG2962. 9For to thisG3778 end 21ChristG5547 diedG599 and livedG2198 again, that He might beG2961 22LordG2961 bothG2532 of the deadG3498 and of the livingG2198.
10But as for you, whyG5101 do you judgeG2919 your brotherG80 or sister? OrG2228 you asG2532 wellG2532, whyG5101 do you 23regardG1848 your brotherG80 or sister withG1848 contemptG1848? For 24we will allG3956 appearG3936 beforeG3936 the judgmentG968 seatG968 of GodG2316. 11For it is writtenG1125: “25As I liveG2198, saysG3004 the LordG2962, 26to Me everyG3956 kneeG1119 will bowG2578, And everyG3956 tongueG1100 will 27giveG1843 praiseG1843 to GodG2316.” 12SoG686 thenG686 28eachG1538 oneG1538 of us will giveG1325 an accountG3056 of himselfG1438 to GodG2316.
13ThereforeG3767 let’s not 29judgeG2919 oneG240 anotherG240 anymoreG3371, but ratherG3123 30determineG2919 thisG3778: 31not to putG5087 an obstacleG4348 orG2228 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 in a brother’sG80 or sister’s way. 14I knowG3609 and am convincedG3982 32in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 that 33nothingG3762 is 34uncleanG2839 in itselfG1438; but to the one who 35thinksG3049 somethingG5100 is 36uncleanG2839, to that person it is 37uncleanG2839. 15For ifG1487 becauseG1223 of foodG1033 your brotherG80 or sister is hurtG3076, you are noG3765 longerG3765 38walkingG4043 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 loveG26. 39Do not destroyG622 with your choice of foodG1033 that person for whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599. 16ThereforeG3767 40do not let whatG18 isG18 for you a goodG18 thingG18 be 41spokenG987 ofG987 asG987 evilG987; 17for the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 42is not eatingG1035 and drinkingG4213, but righteousnessG1343 and 43peaceG1515 and 44joyG5479 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
