Romanos 14

La Biblia de las Américas (Español) BLA

1 Aceptad al que es débil en la fe, pero no para juzgar sus opiniones.

2 Uno tiene fe en que puede comer de todo, pero el que es débil sólo come legumbres.

3 El que come no menosprecie al que no come, y el que no come no juzgue al que come, porque Dios lo ha aceptado.

4 ¿Quién eres tú para juzgar al criado de otro? Para su propio amo está en pie o cae, y en pie se mantendrá, porque poderoso es el Señor para sostenerlo en pie.

5 Uno juzga que un día es superior a otro, otro juzga iguales todos los días. Cada cual esté plenamente convencido según su propio sentir.

6 El que guarda cierto día, para el Señor lo guarda; y el que come, para el Señor come, pues da gracias a Dios; y el que no come, para el Señor se abstiene, y da gracias a Dios.

7 Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para sí mismo, y ninguno muere para sí mismo;

8 pues si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos, y si morimos, para el Señor morimos; por tanto, ya sea que vivamos o que muramos, del Señor somos.

9 Porque para esto Cristo murió y resucitó, para ser Señor tanto de los muertos como de los vivos.

10 Pero tú, ¿por qué juzgas a tu hermano? O también, tú, ¿por qué menosprecias a tu hermano? Porque todos compareceremos ante el tribunal de Dios .

11 Porque está escrito: VIVO YODICE EL SEÑORQUE ANTE MI SE DOBLARA TODA RODILLA, Y TODA LENGUA ALABARA A DIOS.

12 De modo que cada uno de nosotros dará a Dios cuenta de sí mismo.

13 Por consiguiente, ya no nos juzguemos los unos a los otros, sino más bien decidid esto: no poner obstáculo o piedra de tropiezo al hermano.

14 Yo sé, y estoy convencido en el Señor Jesús, de que nada es inmundo en sí mismo; pero para el que estima que algo es inmundo, para él lo es.

15 Porque si por causa de la comida tu hermano se entristece, ya no andas conforme al amor. No destruyas con tu comida a aquel por quien Cristo murió.

16 Por tanto, no permitáis que se hable mal de lo que para vosotros es bueno.

17 Porque el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida, sino justicia y paz y gozo en el Espíritu Santo.

18 Porque el que de esta manera sirve a Cristo, es aceptable a Dios y aprobado por los hombres.

19 Así que procuremos lo que contribuye a la paz y a la edificación mutua.

20 No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de la comida. En realidad, todas las cosas son limpias, pero son malas para el hombre que escandaliza a otro al comer.

21 Es mejor no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni hacer nada en que tu hermano tropiece .

22 La fe que tú tienes, tenla conforme a tu propia convicción delante de Dios. Dichoso el que no se condena a sí mismo en lo que aprueba.

23 Pero el que duda, si come se condena, porque no lo hace por fe; y todo lo que no procede de fe, es pecado.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don't see things the way you do. And don't jump all over them every time they do or say something you don't agree with - even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently.

2 For instance, a person who has been around for a while might well be convinced that he can eat anything on the table, while another, with a different background, might assume all Christians should be vegetarians and eat accordingly.

3 But since both are guests at Christ's table, wouldn't it be terribly rude if they fell to criticizing what the other ate or didn't eat? God, after all, invited them both to the table.

4 Do you have any business crossing people off the guest list or interfering with God's welcome? If there are corrections to be made or manners to be learned, God can handle that without your help.

5 Or, say, one person thinks that some days should be set aside as holy and another thinks that each day is pretty much like any other. There are good reasons either way. So, each person is free to follow the convictions of conscience.

6 What's important in all this is that if you keep a holy day, keep it for God's sake; if you eat meat, eat it to the glory of God and thank God for prime rib; if you're a vegetarian, eat vegetables to the glory of God and thank God for broccoli.

7 None of us are permitted to insist on our own way in these matters.

8 It's God we are answerable to - all the way from life to death and everything in between - not each other.

9 That's why Jesus lived and died and then lived again: so that he could be our Master across the entire range of life and death, and free us from the petty tyrannies of each other.

10 So where does that leave you when you criticize a brother? And where does that leave you when you condescend to a sister? I'd say it leaves you looking pretty silly - or worse. Eventually, we're all going to end up kneeling side by side in the place of judgment, facing God. Your critical and condescending ways aren't going to improve your position there one bit.

11 Read it for yourself in Scripture: "As I live and breathe," God says, "every knee will bow before me; Every tongue will tell the honest truth that I and only I am God."

12 So tend to your knitting. You've got your hands full just taking care of your own life before God.

13 Forget about deciding what's right for each other. Here's what you need to be concerned about: that you don't get in the way of someone else, making life more difficult than it already is.

14 I'm convinced - Jesus convinced me! - that everything as it is in itself is holy. We, of course, by the way we treat it or talk about it, can contaminate it.

15 If you confuse others by making a big issue over what they eat or don't eat, you're no longer a companion with them in love, are you? These, remember, are persons for whom Christ died. Would you risk sending them to hell over an item in their diet?

16 Don't you dare let a piece of God-blessed food become an occasion of soul-poisoning!

17 God's kingdom isn't a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness' sake. It's what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy.

18 Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ. Do that and you'll kill two birds with one stone: pleasing the God above you and proving your worth to the people around you.

19 So let's agree to use all our energy in getting along with each other. Help others with encouraging words;

20 don't drag them down by finding fault. You're certainly not going to permit an argument over what is served or not served at supper to wreck God's work among you, are you? I said it before and I'll say it again: All food is good, but it can turn bad if you use it badly, if you use it to trip others up and send them sprawling.

21 When you sit down to a meal, your primary concern should not be to feed your own face but to share the life of Jesus. So be sensitive and courteous to the others who are eating. Don't eat or say or do things that might interfere with the free exchange of love.

22 Cultivate your own relationship with God, but don't impose it on others. You're fortunate if your behavior and your belief are coherent.

23 But if you're not sure, if you notice that you are acting in ways inconsistent with what you believe - some days trying to impose your opinions on others, other days just trying to please them - then you know that you're out of line. If the way you live isn't consistent with what you believe, then it's wrong.
