New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
Wycliffe WYC
1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.
1
But take ye a frail man in belief, not in deemings of thoughts. [Forsooth take ye a sick man in belief, not in deceptions, or disputations, of thoughts.]
2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
2
For another man believeth, that he may eat all things; but he that is frail [but he that is sick, or unsteadfast], eat worts.
3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
3
He that eateth, despise not him that eateth not; and he that eateth not, deem not him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him(self) [For why God hath taken him].
4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
4
Who art thou, that deemest another's servant? To his lord he standeth, or falleth from him. But he shall stand; for the Lord is mighty to make him perfect [+To his lord he standeth, or falleth down. Forsooth he shall stand; for the Lord is mighty to ordain him, or make steadfast].
5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
5
For why one deemeth a day betwixt [between] a day, another deemeth each day. Each man increase in his wit.
6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord , and he who eats, does so for the Lord , for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.
6
He that understandeth the day, understandeth to the Lord [He that savoureth, or understandeth, the day, understandeth to the Lord]. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he doeth thankings to God. And he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and doeth thankings to God.
7 For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;
7
For no man of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 for if we live, we live for the Lord , or if we die, we die for the Lord ; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
8
For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or die, we be of the Lord [we be (the) Lord's].
9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
9
For why for this thing Christ was dead, and rose again, that he be Lord both of quick and of dead men [that he be Lord and of quick and of dead].
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
10
But what deemest thou thy brother? or why despisest thou thy brother? for all we shall stand before the throne of Christ.
11 For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD , EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."
11
For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, for to me each knee shall be bowed, and each tongue shall acknowledge to God.
12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
12
Therefore each of us [And so each of us] shall yield reason to God for himself.
13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this -not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.
13
Therefore no more deem we each other; but more deem ye this thing, that ye put not hurting, or cause of stumbling [or offence], to a brother.
14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14
I know and trust in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by him, no but to him that deemeth any thing to be unclean [but to him that deemeth any thing to be unclean], to him it is unclean.
15 For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
15
And if thy brother be made sorry in conscience for meat [Soothly if thy brother be made sorry, or heavy in conscience, for meat], now thou walkest not after charity. Do not thou through thy meat destroy him [Do not through thy meat lose him], for whom Christ died.
16 Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;
16
Therefore be not your good thing blasphemed. [Therefore be not our good thing blasphemed, or despised.]
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
17
For why the realm of God is not meat and drink, but rightwiseness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
18
And he that in this thing serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved to men [and is proved to men].
19 So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.
19
Therefore follow we those things that be of peace, and keep we together those things that be of edification [and keep we those things together that be of edification].
20 Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.
20
Do not thou for meat destroy the work of God. For all things be clean, but it is evil to the man that eateth by offending.
21 It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.
21
It is good to not eat flesh, and to not drink wine, neither in what thing thy brother offendeth, or is caused to stumble, or is made frail [neither in what thing thy brother offendeth, or is caused to offend, or is made sick, or unsteadfast].
22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
22
Thou hast faith with thyself, have thou before God. Blessed is he that deemeth not himself in that thing that he approveth [Blessed is he that deemeth not, or condemneth not, himself in that thing that he proveth].
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
23
For he that deemeth, is condemned, if he eateth; for it is not of faith. And all thing that is not of faith, is sin. [+Forsooth he that deemeth, is damned, if he eateth; for why? for his eating is not of faith. Forsooth all thing that is not of faith, is sin.]
