The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 infirmum autem in fide adsumite non in disceptationibus cogitationum
1
Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
2 alius enim credit manducare omnia qui autem infirmus est holus manducat
2
For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 is qui manducat non manducantem non spernat et qui non manducat manducantem non iudicet Deus enim illum adsumpsit
3
Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.
4 tu quis es qui iudices alienum servum suo domino stat aut cadit stabit autem potens est enim Deus statuere illum
4
Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
5 nam alius iudicat diem plus inter diem alius iudicat omnem diem unusquisque in suo sensu abundet
5
One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 qui sapit diem Domino sapit et qui manducat Domino manducat gratias enim agit Deo et qui non manducat Domino non manducat et gratias agit Deo
6
He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
7 nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit et nemo sibi moritur
7
For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
8 sive enim vivimus Domino vivimus sive morimur Domino morimur sive ergo vivimus sive morimur Domini sumus
8
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9 in hoc enim Christus et mortuus est et revixit ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur
9
For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 tu autem quid iudicas fratrem tuum aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Dei
10
But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 scriptum est enim vivo ego dicit Dominus quoniam mihi flectet omne genu et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo
11
For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."
12 itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo
12
So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 non ergo amplius invicem iudicemus sed hoc iudicate magis ne ponatis offendiculum fratri vel scandalum
13
Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.
14 scio et confido in Domino Iesu quia nihil commune per ipsum nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esse illi commune est
14
I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur iam non secundum caritatem ambulas noli cibo tuo illum perdere pro quo Christus mortuus est
15
Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.
16 non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum
16
Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;
17 non est regnum Dei esca et potus sed iustitia et pax et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto
17
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 qui enim in hoc servit Christo placet Deo et probatus est hominibus
18
For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 itaque quae pacis sunt sectemur et quae aedificationis sunt in invicem
19
Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.
20 noli propter escam destruere opus Dei omnia quidem munda sunt sed malum est homini qui per offendiculum manducat
20
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense.
21 bonum est non manducare carnem et non bibere vinum neque in quo frater tuus offendit aut scandalizatur aut infirmatur
21
It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.
22 tu fidem habes penes temet ipsum habe coram Deo beatus qui non iudicat semet ipsum in eo quo probat
22
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
23 qui autem discernit si manducaverit damnatus est quia non ex fide omne autem quod non ex fide peccatum est
23
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
