Romans 14

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Welcome those with wavering faith, but avoid engaging in doubtful arguments.

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

One person feels free to eat anything, while another, less confident, chooses to eat only vegetables.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Don't look down on those who don't eat as you do; and those who eat less shouldn't criticize those who eat more. God accepts everyone as they are.

Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

Why do you judge someone else's servant? It's up to their own master whether they succeed or fail. And they will succeed, for God has the power to lift them up.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

One person cherishes one day more than others, while another values every day equally. Let each person be confident in their own beliefs.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Those who honor the day, do so for God; those who don't, aren't ignoring God. Those who eat, do so in gratitude to God; those who don't eat, also express their thanks to God.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

None of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

In life or death, we belong to the Lord.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Christ gave his life and rose again, so he could be Lord of both the departed and the living.

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Why criticize your sibling? Why belittle them? Remember, we'll all face Christ's judgment one day.

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

God promises, "In my eternal life, everyone will kneel before me and acknowledge my presence."

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

Each of us will ultimately answer to God for our own actions.

Let us not therefore 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.

Let's stop criticizing each other. Instead, let's focus on not causing difficulties or leading others into temptation.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

I'm fully convinced by Jesus that nothing is inherently impure. However, if someone believes something is impure, then for them, it is.

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

If your food upsets your brother, you're not acting in love. Don't let your meal ruin someone for whom Christ sacrificed his life.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Don't let your kind actions be misconstrued as evil.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

God's kingdom isn't about food or drink; it's about living rightly, finding peace, and experiencing joy through spiritual connection.

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Those who serve Christ in these ways are loved by God and respected by people.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Let's pursue actions that bring harmony and uplift each other with kindness and understanding.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

Don't tear down God's work in your fellow believer for the sake of food. Everything is clean, but it becomes wrong when your eating makes someone else stumble.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

It's good not to eat meat, drink wine, or do anything that makes your fellow believer stumble, fall, or grow weak.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Do you believe? Keep that faith between you and God. Blessed is the one who doesn't judge himself for what he permits.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

If you eat while doubting, you are condemned, because you're not eating in faith. Anything done without faith is sin.
