Hebrew Names Version HNV
New International Version NIV
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
12
So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
13 Therefore Let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.
13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14
I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
15
If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.
16 Then don't let your good be slandered,
16
Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, shalom, and joy in the Ruach HaKodesh.
17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
18 For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
18
because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for shalom, and things whereby we may build one another up.
19
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20 Don't overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
20
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
21 It is good not to eat meat, drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
21
It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves.
22
So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
