| Romans 14:1 | Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings. | I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion. | But receive him who is weak in faith, not for judging thoughts. |
| Romans 14:2 | One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food. | One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables. | One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats herbs. |
| Romans 14:3 | 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. | Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them. | 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 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 that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand. | 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 | 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 more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own 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 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 regards the day as sacred, so regards it for the Master's sake; and he who eats certain food eats it for the Master's sake, for he gives thanks to God; and he who refrains from eating it refrains for the Master's sake, and he also gives thanks 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 every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself. | For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself. | For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. |
| Romans 14:8 | 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. | If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. | 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 | 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 this was the purpose of Christ's dying and coming to life namely that He might be Lord both of the dead and 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 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 find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged; | 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 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 shall bow, and every tongue shall make confession 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 14:12 | So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God. | So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God. | So then each one of us will give account of himself to God. |
| Romans 14:13 | 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 us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up. | 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 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. | As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is `impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is. | 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 | 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. | If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died. | 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 14:16 | Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good: | Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach. | Then don't let your good be slandered, |
| Romans 14:17 | For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. | For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of right conduct, peace and joy, through the Holy Spirit; | for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. |
| Romans 14:18 | And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men. | and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him. | For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. |
| Romans 14:19 | So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another. | Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character. | So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may build one another up. |
| Romans 14:20 | 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. | Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others. | 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 better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother. | The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall. | 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 you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval. | As for you and your faith, keep your faith to yourself in the presence of God. The man is to be congratulated who does not pronounce judgement on himself in what his actions sanction. | Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves. |
| Romans 14:23 | 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 has misgivings and yet eats meat is condemned already, because his conduct is not based on faith; for all conduct not based on faith is sinful. | But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin. |
