Romans 14 (WEBP)
[1] Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
[2] One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
[3] Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
[4] Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
[5] One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
[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. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
[7] For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
[8] For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
[9] For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
[10] But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
[11] For it is written, “ ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’ ”†
[12] So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
[13] Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
[14] I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
[15] Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
[16] Then don’t let your good be slandered,
[17] for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
[18] For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
[19] So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
[20] Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
[21] It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
[22] Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
[23] But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
[24] Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,
[25] but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;
[26] to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.°

Romans 14 (KJVS)
[1] Him that is weak G770 (PresActPtc) in the faith G4102 receive ye G4355 (PresMidImpr), [but] G1161 not G3361 to G1519 doubtful G1261 disputations G1253.
[2] For G3303 one G3739 believeth G4100 (PresActInd) that he may eat G5315 (Aor2ActInf) all things G3956: another G1161, who is weak G770 (PresActPtc), eateth G2068 (PresActInd) herbs G3001.
[3] Let G1848 not G3361 him that eateth G2068 (PresActPtc) despise G1848 (PresActImpr) him that eateth G2068 (PresActPtc) not G3361; and G2532 let G2068 not G3361 him which eateth G2068 (PresActPtc) not G3361 judge G2919 (PresActImpr) him that eateth G2068 (PresActPtc): for G1063 God G2316 hath received G4355 (Aor2MidInd) him G846.
[4] Who G5101 art G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771 that judgest G2919 (PresActPtc) another man’s G245 servant G3610? to his own G2398 master G2962 he standeth G4739 (PresActInd) or G2228 falleth G4098 (PresActInd). Yea G1161, he shall be holden up G2476 (FutPasInd): for G1063 God G2316 is G2076 (PresInd) able G1415 to make G2476 him G846 stand G2476 (AorActInf).
[5] One G3303 man G3739 esteemeth G2919 (PresActInd) one day G2250 above G3844 another G2250: G1161 another G3739 esteemeth G2919 (PresActInd) every G3956 day G2250 [alike]. Let G4135 every man G1538 be fully persuaded G4135 (PresPasImpr) in G1722 his own G2398 mind G3563.
[6] He that regardeth G5426 (PresActPtc) the day G2250, regardeth G5426 (PresActInd) [it] unto the Lord G2962; and G2532 he that regardeth G5426 (PresActPtc) not G3361 the day G2250, to the Lord G2962 he doth G5426 not G3756 regard G5426 (PresActInd) [it]. He that eateth G2068 (PresActPtc), eateth G2068 (PresActInd) to the Lord G2962, for G1063 he giveth God G2316 thanks G2168 (PresActInd); and G2532 he that eateth G2068 (PresActPtc) not G3361, to the Lord G2962 he eateth G2068 (PresActInd) not G3756, and G2532 giveth God G2316 thanks G2168 (PresActInd).
[7] For G1063 none G3762 of us G2257 liveth G2198 (PresActInd) to himself G1438, and G2532 no man G3762 dieth G599 (PresActInd) to himself G1438.
[8] For G1063 whether G1437 G5037 we live G2198 (PresActSubj), we live G2198 (PresActInd) unto the Lord G2962; and whether G1437 G5037 we die G599 (PresActSubj), we die G599 (PresActInd) unto the Lord G2962: whether G1437 G5037 we live G2198 (PresActSubj) therefore G3767, or G1437 G5037 die G599 (PresActSubj), we are G2070 (PresInd) the Lord’s G2962.
[9] For G1063 to G1519 this G5124 end Christ G5547 both G2532 died G599 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 rose G450 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 revived G326 (AorActInd), that G2443 he might be Lord G2961 (AorActSubj) both G2532 of the dead G3498 and G2532 living G2198 (PresActPtc).
[10] But G1161 why G5101 dost G2919 thou G4771 judge G2919 (PresActInd) thy G4675 brother G80? or G2228 G2532 why G5101 dost G1848 thou G4771 set at nought G1848 (PresActInd) thy G4675 brother G80? for G1063 we shall G3936 all G3956 stand before G3936 (FutMidDepInd) the judgment seat G968 of Christ G5547.
[11] For G1063 it is written G1125 (PerfPasInd), [As] I G1473 live G2198 (PresActInd), saith G3004 (PresActInd) the Lord G2962, G3754 every G3956 knee G1119 shall bow G2578 (FutActInd) to me G1698, and G2532 every G3956 tongue G1100 shall confess G1843 (FutMidInd) to God G2316.
[12] So G3767 then G686 every one G1538 of us G2257 shall give G1325 (FutActInd) account G3056 of G4012 himself G1438 to God G2316.
[13] Let us G2919 not therefore G3767 judge G2919 (PresActSubj) one another G240 any more G3371: but G235 judge G2919 (AorActImpr) this G5124 rather G3123, that no man G3361 put G5087 (PresActInf) a stumblingblock G4348 or G2228 an occasion to fall G4625 in [his] brother’s way G80.
[14] I know G1492 (PerfActInd), and G2532 am persuaded G3982 (PerfPasInd) by G1722 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424, that G3754 [there is] nothing G3762 unclean G2839 of G1223 itself G1438: but G1508 to him that esteemeth G3049 (PresMidPasDepPtc) any thing G5100 to be G1511 (PresInf) unclean G2839, to him G1565 [it is] unclean G2839.
[15] But G1161 if G1487 thy G4675 brother G80 be grieved G3076 (PresPasInd) with G1223 [thy] meat G1033, now G3765 walkest thou G4043 (PresActInd) not G3765 charitably G26 G2596. Destroy G622 (PresActImpr) not G3361 him G1565 with thy G4675 meat G1033, for G5228 whom G3739 Christ G5547 died G599 (Aor2ActInd).
[16] Let G987 not G3361 then G3767 your G5216 good G18 be evil spoken of G987 (PresPasImpr):
[17] For G1063 the kingdom G932 of God G2316 is G2076 (PresInd) not G3756 meat G1035 and G2532 drink G4213; but G235 righteousness G1343, and G2532 peace G1515, and G2532 joy G5479 in G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151.
[18] For G1063 he that in G1722 these things G5125 serveth G1398 (PresActPtc) Christ G5547 [is] acceptable G2101 to God G2316, and G2532 approved G1384 of men G444.
[19] Let us G1377 therefore G686 G3767 follow after G1377 (PresActSubj) the things which make for G3588 peace G1515, and G2532 things wherewith G1519 one G240 may edify G3619 another G240.
[20] For G1752 meat G1033 destroy G2647 (PresActImpr) not G3361 the work G2041 of God G2316. All things G3956 indeed G3303 [are] pure G2513; but G235 [it is] evil G2556 for that man G444 who eateth G2068 (PresActPtc) with G1223 offence G4348.
[21] [It is] good G2570 neither G3361 to eat G5315 (Aor2ActInf) flesh G2907, nor G3366 to drink G4095 (Aor2ActInf) wine G3631, nor G3366 [any thing] whereby G1722 G3739 thy G4675 brother G80 stumbleth G4350 (PresActInd), or G2228 is offended G4624 (PresPasInd), or G2228 is made weak G770 (PresActInd).
[22] Hast G2192 (PresActInd) thou G4771 faith G4102? have G2192 (PresActImpr) [it] to G2596 thyself G4572 before G1799 God G2316. Happy G3107 [is] he that condemneth G2919 (PresActPtc) not G3361 himself G1438 in G1722 that thing which G3739 he alloweth G1381 (PresActInd).
[23] And G1161 he that doubteth G1252 (PresMidPtc) is damned G2632 (PerfPasInd) if G1437 he eat G5315 (Aor2ActSubj), because G3754 [he eateth] not G3756 of G1537 faith G4102: for G1161 whatsoever G3739 G3956 [is] not G3756 of G1537 faith G4102 is G2076 (PresInd) sin G266.
Young’s Literal Translation
Romans 14 (YLT)
[1] And him who is weak in the faith receive ye-not to determinations of reasonings;
[2] one doth believe that he may eat all things-and he who is weak doth eat herbs;
[3] let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.
[4] Thou-who art thou that art judging another’s domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
[5] One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike; let each in his own mind be fully assured.
[6] He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
[7] For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;
[8] for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord’s;
[9] for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.
[10] And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;
[11] for it hath been written, ‘I live! saith the Lord-to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;’
[12] so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;
[13] no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.
[14] I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean-to that one it is unclean;
[15] and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.
[16] Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,
[17] for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
[18] for he who in these things is serving the Christ, is acceptable to God and approved of men.
[19] So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;
[20] for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling.
[21] Right it is not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.
[22] Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,
[23] and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.
