| Romans 14:1 | But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not for decision of scruples. | Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings. | But receive him who is weak in faith, not for judging thoughts. |
| Romans 14:2 | One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. | One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food. | One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats herbs. |
| Romans 14:3 | Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. | Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval. | 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. |
| Romans 14:4 | Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. | Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling. | 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. |
| Romans 14:5 | One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. | This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind. | One man esteems one day above another. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. |
| Romans 14:6 | He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. | He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God. | 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. |
| Romans 14:7 | For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. | For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself. | For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. |
| Romans 14:8 | For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. | As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's. | 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. |
| Romans 14:9 | For to this end Christ died and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. | And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living. | For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. |
| Romans 14:10 | But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. | But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge. | 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. |
| Romans 14:11 | For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. | For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God. | For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'" |

| Romans 14:13 | Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling. | Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting. | 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. |
| Romans 14:14 | I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. | I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean. | 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. |
| Romans 14:15 | For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died. | And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death. | 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. |

| Romans 14:20 | Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. | Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another. | 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. |
| Romans 14:21 | It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth. | It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother. | It is good not to eat meat, drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak. |
| Romans 14:22 | The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth. | The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God.

| Romans 14:23 | But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin. | But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin. | But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin. |
