Taking care not to make others fall

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

14:13 Taking care not to make others fall

13So we shouldn’t be judging each other, but rather be judging ourselves that we’re not causing another believer to stumble or fall into temptation. 14I know (and I’m totally persuaded) that in master Yeshua there’s no object that’s ‘immoral’[fn] in itself, but it only becomes ‘immoral’ to the person who evaluates it as such. 15If a fellow believer is upset because of the food you eat, then you’re no longer acting in love. Don’t destroy the faith of someone that Messiah died for, just for the sake of food. 16Don’t let anyone slander the good that you do. 17God’s kingdom doesn’t consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and happiness in the holy spirit. 18so anyone serving the messiah in those ways pleases God and is approved by the people.

19So then, we should be pursuing actions that lead to peace and things that build each other up—20don’t be tearing down God’s work just on account of food. Indeed, all foods are ‘clean[fn] but it’s wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21It’s good to avoid eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything else that might cause your fellow believer to stumble or be offended or fall. 22That way you keep the faith that you have privately before God. God will bless anyone who doesn’t bring guilt on themselves by doing something that they’ve determined to be right. 23But anyone who doubts that it’s ok, if they eat it then they’ve condemned themselves because they’re not acting in faith, and everything that’s not done in faith is sin.


14:14 Or (traditionally) ‘unclean’.

14:20 In Hebrew, ‘kosher’.

13Therefore no_longer one_another we_may_be_judging, but this judge rather, which not to_be_putting stumbling to_your brother or temptation.
14I_have_known and I_have_been_persuaded in the_master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) that nothing is unclean by itself, except not/lest to_the one counting anything unclean to_be, to_that one unclean it_is.
15If for because_of food, the brother of_you is_being_sorrowed, no_longer according_to love you_are_walking.
Not with_the food of_you that one be_destroying, because/for whom chosen_one/messiah died_off.
16Not therefore let_be_being_slandered of_you_all the good.
17For/Because not is the kingdom of_ the _god food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in spirit holy.
18For/Because the one in this serving for_the chosen_one/messiah, well_pleasing to_ the _god is and approved by_the people.
19Therefore consequently the things of_ the _peace we_may_be_pursuing, and the things of_ the _building which for one_another.
20Not on_account food, be_tearing_down the work of_ the _god.
All things indeed clean are, but evil to_the person which through a_stumbling block eating.
21Good it_is which nor to_eat meats, nor to_drink wine, nor anything in which the brother of_you is_stumbling, or is_being_stumbled, or is_ailing.
22You the_faith which are_having, to yourself be_having before the god.
Blessed is the one not judging himself in what he_is_approving.
23But the one doubting, if he_may_eat, he_has_been_condemned, because it_is not of faith, and everything which is not of faith, sin is.
