Romans 14

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

1 Bear with the one who is sick in the faith, but not unto doubtful discernment.

1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

2 For one believes that he may eat all things; another, who is sick, eats vegetables.

2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

3 Let not him that eats despise him that does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him that eats; for God has raised him up.

3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.

4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? By his own master he stands or falls; and if he falls, he shall be made to stand, for God is powerful to make him stand.

4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

5 Also, some make a difference between one day and another; others esteem every day alike. Let each one be fully persuaded in his own soul.

5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

6 He that observes the day, let him observe it unto the Lord; and he that does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He that eats, eats unto the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, unto the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

7 For none of us live for ourselves, and no one dies for himself.

7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.

8 For if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord; whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

9 For to this end Christ both died and rose and revived: to thus exercise lordship over the dead as well as over the living.

9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou belittle thy brother? for we shall all stand before the tribunal of the Christ.

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

11 It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ”

12 So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

13 Let us, therefore, not judge one another any more, but judge this rather: that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

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 trust in the Lord Jesus that for his sake there is nothing unclean, but to him that esteems any thing 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 But if thy brother is grieved because of thy food, now thou dost not walk in charity. Do not destroy him with thy food, for whom Christ 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 Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.

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

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 that in these things serves the Christ is well pleasing unto God and approved of men.

18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.

19 Let us, therefore, follow after the things which make for peace and the edification of each one to the others.

19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

20 Because of food, do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

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 neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor do any thing by which thy brother stumbles or is offended or is sick.

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 Thou hast faith; have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that does not condemn himself with that thing which he allows.

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.

23 And he that makes a difference is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat by faith; and whatsoever is not out of faith is sin.

23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
