Chapter 14
14:1 Welcome him who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of arguing over opinions.
Romans
14:2 For one has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
14:3 Do not let him who eats despise him who does not eat, and do not let him who does not eat judge him who eats, for Elohim has welcomed him.
14:4 Who are you to judge another man's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for Elohim is able to make him stand.
14:5 One man judges one day above another; another judges every day alike. Let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind.
14:6 He who observes the day observes it for YASHUWAH, and he who does not observe the day, to YASHUWAH he does not observe it. He who eats, eats in honor of YASHUWAH, for he gives thanks to Elohim; and the one who does not eat, in honor of YASHUWAH he does not eat, and gives thanks to Elohim.
14:7 For none of us lives for himself, and no one dies for himself.
14:8 For if we live, we live for YASHUWAH. And if we die, we die for YASHUWAH. So, whether we live or die, we are YASHUWAH's.
14:9 For to this end the Messiah died and rose and lived again, so that He might be Master of both the dead and living.
14:10 So why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of the Messiah.
14:11 For it is written: “As I live, says YASHUWAH, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to Elohim.”
14:12 So then each of us shall give an account of himself to Elohim.
14:13 Therefore let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather determine not to put a stumbling block or an obstacle in a brother's way.
14:14 I know and am persuaded by the Master YASHUWAH that nothing is unclean in itself, but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14:15 If your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food one for whom the Messiah died.
14:16 So do not let what is good to you be spoken of as evil.
14:17 For the kingdom of Elohim does not mean eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18 For he who serves the Messiah in these things is acceptable to Elohim and approved by men.
14:19 Therefore let us pursue the things which produce peace and the things that build up one another.
14:20 Do not destroy the work of Elohim for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil for the man who causes someone to fall by what he eats.
14:21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine, nor do anything whereby your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.
14:22 The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before Elohim. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faith, for whatever is not from faith is sin.
