| Romans 14:1 | 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. | Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. | Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings. |
| Romans 14:2 | One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables. | For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. | One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food. |
| Romans 14:3 | 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. | 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. | 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. |
| Romans 14:4 | 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 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. | 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. |
| Romans 14:5 | 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 esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded 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. |
| Romans 14:6 | 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 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. | 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. |
| Romans 14:7 | For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself. | For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. | For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself. |
| Romans 14:8 | 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 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. | 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. |
| Romans 14:9 | 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 both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and 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. |
| Romans 14:10 | 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 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. | 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. |
| Romans 14:11 | 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, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, 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. |
| Romans 14:12 | So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God. | So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. | So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God. |
| Romans 14:13 | 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. | 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. | 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. |
| Romans 14:14 | 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 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 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. |
| Romans 14:15 | 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. | But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, 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. |
| Romans 14:16 | Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach. | Let not then your good be evil spoken of: | Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good: |
| Romans 14:17 | 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 meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. | For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. |
| Romans 14:18 | and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him. | For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. | And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men. |
| Romans 14:19 | Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character. | Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. | So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another. |
| Romans 14:20 | 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. | For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but 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. |
| Romans 14:21 | The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall. | 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 is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother. |
| Romans 14:22 | 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. | Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. | 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. |
| Romans 14:23 | 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. | And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for 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. |
