Chapter 14
Romans
14:1 Receive him who is weak in the faith, but not to doubtful disputations.
14:2 For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.
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 received him.
14:4 Who are you who judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: and he shall be held up: for Elohim is able to make him stand.
14:5 One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
14:6 He who regards the day, regards it to YASHUWAH: and he who does not regard the day, to YASHUWAH he does not regard it. He who eats, eats to YASHUWAH, for he gives Elohim thanks; and he who does not eat, to YASHUWAH he does not eat, and gives Elohim thanks.
14:7 For not one of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself.
14:8 For whether we live, we live to YASHUWAH; and whether we die, we die to YASHUWAH: whether we live therefore, or die, we are YASHUWAH's.
14:9 For to this end the Messiah both died, rose, and revived, so that he might be Master both of the dead and the living.
14:10 But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nothing 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 account of himself to Elohim.
14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Master YASHUWAH, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him who esteems anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14:15 But if your brother is grieved with your food, now you do not walk charitably. Do not destroy him with your food, for whom the Messiah died.
14:16 Therefore do not let your* good be evil spoken of:
14:17 For the kingdom of Elohim is not food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18 For he who in these things serves the Messiah, is acceptable to Elohim, and approved by men.
14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
14:20 For the sake of food, do not destroy the work of Elohim. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.
14:21 It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
14:22 Do you have faith? have it to yourself before Elohim. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in that thing which he alloweth.
14:23 And he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin.
