Romans 14

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

2 One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

3 Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

4 Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

5 This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

6 He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

7 For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself.

8 As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

9 And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

10 But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge.

11 For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

12 So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

13 Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

14 I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

15 And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

16 Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

18 And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

19 So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.

20 Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

21 It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

22 The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.

23 But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 4 But welcome the one who is weak in emunah (faith). But not for the purpose of setting him straight in arguments.

2 For example, one person has emunah (faith) to eat every potential food; but the weak practice vegetarianism.

3 Let the one who eats not hold in contempt or despise the one who does not eat, and let not the one who does not eat pass judgment on the one who eats, for Hashem treats him as an oreach ratzuy (welcome guest).

4 Who are you to condemn the eved (house slave) of someone else? In relation to Ribbono (shel Olam) he stands or falls. And he shall stand, for Ribbono (shel Olam) is able to make him stand.

5 One person judges one day to be more important than another; another person judges every day to be alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

6 The one who holds an opinion on the day does so to Hashem. And the one who eats does so to Hashem, for he does the bentshen (custom of saying grace after meals) of the Birkat Hamazon to Hashem. And the one who does not eat does so to Hashem and gives the hodayah (thanksgiving) to Hashem.

7 For no one of us lives for himself and no one dies for himself.

8 For if we live, we live for Hashem; and if we die, we die for Hashem. So whether we live or we die, we belong to Hashem.

9 For it was for this tachlis (purpose) that Moshiach had his histalkus and came to live again, in order that he might have charge as Moshiach Adoneinu over both the Mesim (dead ones) and the Chayyim (living ones).

10 So you, why do you judge your Ach b’Moshiach? Or you, why do you despise your Ach b’Moshiach? For we shall all stand in the Bet Din (Court of Law) of Hashem (see 2C 5:10) before his Kisse Din (judgment seat), his Kisse Mishpat,

11 For it is written, "As I live, says Hashem, before Me KOL BERECH (every knee) will bow and KOL LASHON (every tongue) shall give praise to Hashem" [Isa 49:18].

12 So then each of us will give account of himself to Hashem.

13 Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but decide this rather: not to put an occasion for michshol (stumbling, offense, downfall 9:32-33) in the way of the Ach b’Moshiach.

14 I have da’as and am convinced in Adoneinu Yehoshua that nothing is tamei beetzem (intrinsically), except that to the one who reckons something profane, to that person it is profane.

15 For if your Ach B’Moshiach is deeply upset on account of [your] okhel (food), you are no longer conducting yourself in a halakhah of ahavah. Do not by your okhel destroy that one for whom Moshiach died.

16 Therefore, do not let HaTov of you be brought into contempt.

17 For the Malchut Hashem is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of tzedek (righteousness, DANIEL 9:24), shalom (peace) and simcha b’Ruach Hakodesh.

18 For he who serves Moshiach in this is pleasing to Hashem and approved by people in general.

19 So then we pursue what makes for shalom and for the building up of one another.

20 Do not for the sake of okhel bring churban to the work of Hashem.

21 It is a fine thing not to eat meat nor drink wine nor anything by which your Ach b’Moshiach stumbles.

22 The emunah that you have, keep beshita (as a matter of conviction or principle) to yourself before G-d. Ashrey is the man who does not condemn himself by the things he approves.

23 But in the man who doubts, there is found in him a dvar ashmah (a thing of guilt, condemnation) if he eats, because it is not of emunah. And whatever is not of emunah is averah (sin).
