Literal Version

14:1 Don’t condemn each other

14[ref]Accept others who are faltering in their faith without highlighting their wrong ideas. 2Some people think it’s ok to eat anything, while others who’re faltering will only eat vegetables. 3The one who eats anything shouldn’t despise the other, and the one who doesn’t eat meat shouldn’t condemn the other, because both are accepted by God. 4Who are you to judge someone else’s house servants? Their own master will judge if they stand or fall, and they’ll stand because the master is able to help them.

5Similarly, some people consider one day to be more important than some other day, yet others consider all the days to be alike. Each one of them should be fully convinced in their own minds. 6Anyone who considers a certain day to be special is thinking about the master. Likewise, anyone who’s eating meat is eating to serve the master and gives thanks to God. The person who doesn’t eat meat is declining to serve the master and gives thanks to God. 7Yes, we don’t live for ourselves and we don’t die for ourselves. 8If we keep living then we’re living for the master, and if we die, then we’re dying for the master, so whether we live or die we belong to the master 9because Messiah died and came back to life in order to be master of both the dead and the living. 10[ref]So why are you judging fellow believers and why are you also scorning them, because all of us will end up standing in God’s court of judgement. 11As it’s been written:[ref]

“The master is telling me, ‘I am alive

and every person will bow to me,

and each one will confess to God.’ ”

12So consequently, each of us will need to give an account of ourselves to God.

14And the one faltering in_the faith be_receiving, not for distinctions on_^his_speculations.
2one on_one_hand is_believing to_eat all things, on_the_other_hand the one faltering vegetables is_eating.
3The one eating, the one not eating not him _let_be_scorning, and the one not eating, the one eating not him _let_be_judging, the For/Because god him received.
4You who are, the one judging anothers house_servant?
To_his own master he_is_standing or is_falling.
But he_will_be_being_stood, because/for is_able the master to_stand him.
5one on_one_hand is_judging a_day beyond another day, on_the_other_hand one is_judging every day alike.
Each in his own mind, let_be_being_fully_assured.
6The one thinking the day special, to_the_master he_is_thinking.
And he eating, to_the_master he_is_eating, because/for he_is_giving_thanks to_the to_god, and the one not eating, to_the_master not is_eating, and is_giving_thanks to_ the _god.
7For/Because no_one of_us to_himself is_living, and no_one to_himself is_dying_off.
8If for both we_may_be_living, to_the master we_are_living, and if we_may_be_dying_off, to_the master we_are_dying_off.
If therefore both we_may_be_living, and if we_may_be_dying_off, of_the master we_are.
9For/Because for this chosen_one/messiah died_off and lived, in_order_that both over_the_dead and the_living he_may_mastering.
10But you why are_judging the brother of_you?
Or also you why are_scorning the brother of_you?
For/Because all we_will_be_standing_before before_the tribunal of_ the _god.
11For/Because it_has_been_written:
/Am/_living I, is_saying the_master that to_me will_be_bowing every knee, and will_be_confessing every tongue to_ the _god.
12Therefore consequently each of_us concerning himself, an_account will_be_giving to_ the _god.

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.
