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
14
1 But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas.
2 For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants.
3 He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him.
4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? He stands or falls by his own Lord. But he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.
5 For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind.
6 He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.
8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9 For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.
10 So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
12 And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.
13 Therefore, we should no longer judge one another. Instead, judge this to a greater extent: that you should not place an obstacle before your brother, nor lead him astray.
14 I know, with confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But to him who considers anything to be unclean, it is unclean to him.
15 For if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are not now walking according to love. Do not allow your food to destroy him for whom Christ died.
16 Therefore, what is good for us should not be a cause of blasphemy.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but rather justice and peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit.
18 For he who serves Christ in this, pleases God and is proven before men.
19 And so, let us pursue the things that are of peace, and let us keep to the things that are for the edification of one another.
20 Do not be willing to destroy the work of God because of food. Certainly, all things are clean. But there is harm for a man who offends by eating.
21 It is good to refrain from eating meat and from drinking wine, and from anything by which your brother is offended, or led astray, or weakened.
22 Do you have faith? It belongs to you, so hold it before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in that by which he is tested.
23 But he who discerns, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
