Sha'ul�s Letter to the Romans, Chapter 14
{14:1} But receive him who is weak in faith, not for judging
thoughts. {14:2} One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is
weak eats herbs. {14:3} 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
received him. {14:4} Who are you who judge the servant of another? To
his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for
God has power to make him stand. {14:5} One man esteems one day above
another. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully
assured in his own mind. {14:6} 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. {14:7} For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to
himself. {14:8} 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.
{14:9} For to this end Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he
might be Lord of both the dead and the living. {14:10} 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 Messiah. {14:11} For
it is written,
"'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow.
Every tongue will confess to God.'"
{14:12} So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
{14:13} 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 of falling. {14:14} I know, and am persuaded in the Lord
Yeshua, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who
considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. {14:15} Yet if
because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love.
Don't destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died. {14:16} Then
don't let your good be slandered, {14:17} for the kingdom of God is
not eating and drinking, but righteousness, shalom, and joy in the
[1>]Ruach HaKodesh[<1]. {14:18} For he who serves Messiah in these
things is acceptable to God and approved by men. {14:19} So then, let
us follow after things which make for shalom, and things whereby we
may build one another up. {14:20} 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. {14:21} It is good not to
eat meat, drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles,
is offended, or is made weak. {14:22} Do you have faith? Have it to
yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that
which he approves. {14:23} But he who doubts is condemned if he eats,
because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
{14:24} Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good
News and the preaching of Yeshua the Messiah, according to the
revelation of the mystery which has been kept in silence through
eternal times, {14:25} but now is revealed, and by the scriptures of
the prophets, according to the [2>]mitzvah[<2] of the eternal God, is
made known to all the nations to obedience of faith; {14:26} to the
only wise God, through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom be the glory
forever! Amein.
