Romiyim (Romans) 14
14
1And receive him who is weak in the belief, not criticising his thoughts.
2One indeed believes to eat all food, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3He that eats, let him not despise him who does not eat, and he that does not eat, let him not judge him who eats, for Elohim received him.
4Who are you that judges another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. But he shall be made to stand, for Elohim is able to make him stand.
5One indeed judges one day above another, another judges every day alike. Let each one be completely persuaded in his own mind.
6He who minds the day, minds it to יהוה. And he who does not mind the day, to יהוה he does not mind it. He who eats, eats to יהוה, for he gives Elohim thanks. And he who does not eat, to יהוה he does not eat, and gives Elohim thanks.
7For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself.
8For both, if we live, we live unto the Master, and if we die, we die unto the Master. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Master’s.
9For unto this Messiah died and rose and lived again, to rule over both the dead and the living.
10But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah.
11For it has been written, “As I live, says יהוה, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to Elohim.”# Isa. 45:23
12Each one of us, therefore, shall give account of himself to Elohim.
13Therefore let us not judge one another any longer, but rather judge this, not to put an obstacle or a stumbling-block in our brother’s way.
14I know and am persuaded in the Master יהושע that none at all is common of itself. But to him who regards whatever to be common, to him it is common.
15And if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your food ruin the one for whom Messiah died.
16Do not then allow your good to be spoken of as evil.
17For the reign of Elohim is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Set-apart Spirit.
18For he who is serving Messiah in these matters is well-pleasing to Elohim and approved by men.
19So, then, let us pursue the matters of peace and the matters for building up one another.
20Do not destroy the work of Elohim for the sake of food. All indeed are clean, but evil to that man who eats so as to cause stumbling.
21It is good not to eat meat or drink wine, nor to do whatever by which your brother stumbles.
22Do you have belief? Have it to yourself before Elohim. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
23But he who doubts, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of belief, and all that is not of belief is sin.

Romans 14

Do Not Judge Another
1Welcome those who are weak in faith,#14.1 Or conviction but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions. 2Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. 3Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat; for God has welcomed them. 4Who are you to pass judgment on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord#14.4 Other ancient authorities read for God is able to make them stand.
5Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. 6Those who observe the day, observe it in honor of the Lord. Also those who eat, eat in honor of the Lord, since they give thanks to God; while those who abstain, abstain in honor of the Lord and give thanks to God.
7We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. 8If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister?#14.10 Gk brother Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister?#14.10 Gk brother For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.#14.10 Other ancient authorities read of Christ 11For it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall give praise to#14.11 Or confess God.”
12So then, each of us will be accountable to God.#14.12 Other ancient authorities lack to God
Do Not Make Another Stumble
13Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another.#14.13 Gk of a brother 14I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15If your brother or sister#14.15 Gk brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died. 16So do not let your good be spoken of as evil. 17For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18The one who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and has human approval. 19Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. 20Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for you to make others fall by what you eat; 21it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother or sister#14.21 Gk brother stumble.#14.21 Other ancient authorities add or be upset or be weakened 22The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God. Blessed are those who have no reason to condemn themselves because of what they approve. 23But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because they do not act from faith;#14.23 Or conviction for whatever does not proceed from faith#14.23 Or conviction is sin.#14.23 Other authorities, some ancient, add here 16.25-27
