OET (OET-LV) I_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.

OET (OET-RV) I 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.

14:14 Or (traditionally) ‘unclean’.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:13–23: Do not cause others to sin

In this section, Paul told the believers in Rome to stop considering some of their fellow believers as bad people. Instead they should choose not to hinder them. He told them that God does not consider any kind of food or any other kind of thing as not acceptable, but people who think that that food or thing is unacceptable, they should not eat it or use it. But those who find those things acceptable, they should not hurt the faith of those who find those things unacceptable. Righteousness, peace, and joy are the important things in God’s kingdom, not what you eat or drink. God is pleased when those who follow Jesus live in that way.

Paul encouraged the believers to do things that bring peace and encouragement for each other. They are not to hurt other believers over what they eat. They are not to cause other believers to stumble in their faith because of what they eat. Foods that might cause problems for other believers are to be eaten privately. A believer should not eat food if he has doubts about whether he should eat it or not. Everything that is not done in faith is sin.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble (ESV)

Don’t Cause Problems for Others (CEV)

14:14a

I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus

I am convinced and fully persuaded: The word I is not repeated in English for a natural translation. In some languages the word must be repeated for a natural translation. For example:

I know and I believe in my heartUma Back Translation on TW.

convinced: The Greek word refers to understanding something.

fully persuaded: The Greek word here refers to being certain something is true. It implies that the person is certain based on his own thinking about it.See BDAG, sense 4, as opposed to sense (3). Paul thought about what believers should call unclean and became convinced that they should not call anything unclean. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

am convinced (NASB)

am certain

in the Lord Jesus: Here the word in indicates that Paul’s knowledge and certainty are connected to the Lord Jesus. In particular, that knowledge and certainty came from his relationship to Jesus.

14:14b

that nothing is unclean in itself.

nothing is unclean in itself: Here the word nothing refers to food. There is no food that is unclean in itself. There is nothing in the characteristics of some foods that makes them unclean. For example:

no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat (NLT)

unclean: Here this word refers to something which is not fitting for use in serving or worshiping God. Here are other ways to translate this word:

ritually unclean (GNT)

unacceptable (GW)

impure (REB)

14:14c

But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean: If a believer thinks that a kind of food would make them bad before God, he should not eat it. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean (NIV)

it is unacceptable to a person who thinks it is (GW)

unclean: Here this word has the same meaning as in 14:14b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

οἶδα καὶ πέπεισμαι ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἶδα καί πέπεισμαι ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδέν κοινόν διʼ ἑαυτοῦ εἰ μή τῷ λογιζομένῳ τὶ κοινόν εἶναι ἐκείνῳ κοινόν)

Here, know and am persuaded mean very similar things. Paul uses them to emphasize what he is saying. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [I am completely certain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ

in ˓the˒_Lord Jesus

Here, in could indicate: (1) the means by which Paul was persuaded. Alternate translation: [by means of the Lord Jesus] (2) Paul being united with Christ. Alternate translation: [in union with the Lord Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδὲν κοινὸν & κοινὸν & κοινόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἶδα καί πέπεισμαι ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδέν κοινόν διʼ ἑαυτοῦ εἰ μή τῷ λογιζομένῳ τὶ κοινόν εἶναι ἐκείνῳ κοινόν)

The next verse indicates that here Paul is specifically referring to unclean foods, which were foods that Jews were forbidden to eat according to the law of Moses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [no food is forbidden to be eaten … forbidden … it is forbidden food]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐδὲν κοινὸν δι’ ἑαυτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἶδα καί πέπεισμαι ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδέν κοινόν διʼ ἑαυτοῦ εἰ μή τῷ λογιζομένῳ τὶ κοινόν εἶναι ἐκείνῳ κοινόν)

If your readers would misunderstand this double negative, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [everything by itself is clean]

δι’ ἑαυτοῦ

by itself

Alternate translation: [by its nature] or [because of what it is]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

14:14 no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat (literally nothing is common in itself): The word common signals that the root concern that Paul was addressing was Jewish purity regulations. Jews described food as common if it was not clean (i.e., not kosher), thereby causing a Jew to become ritually impure (see Lev 11; cp. Mark 7:2, 5; Acts 10:14). Paul again follows the teaching of Jesus that “every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes” (Mark 7:19).
• for that person it is wrong: The truth that no food is wrong to eat was not easy for pious Jews to accept because they had been raised to honor God by avoiding certain foods. Paul urges those who are strong in faith not to force others to violate their consciences (cp. 1 Cor 8:1-13).
