SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–12: Do not judge/criticize fellow believers and do not despise them

In this section, Paul told his readers that they must accept other believers who are not strong in their faith. These other believers do things that are not based in their faith, hence they are “weak” in their faith. One example that Paul gave of this “weak” faith is someone who avoids meat because it has been devoted to the Roman gods.

Paul also told his readers to not argue over differences of opinion (14:1). In 14:5, he gave an example of this: some believers hold the holy days as something special but other believers do not. Paul reminded his readers that they all belong to the Lord Jesus.

Paul told his readers that they must not judge other believers to be bad people or despise them. He reminded them that they all will stand before God as their judge, and give an account of their deeds.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Do not consider other believers to be bad people

Do not look down on other believers

14:3a

The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not,

The person/believer who eats all foods must not scorn the person/believer who does not eat all foods.
One person/believer eats everything and another person/believer avoids certain foods. The first one must not think of the second one as being of little/no worth.

The one who eats everything must not belittle: This is a command to The one who eats. He or she must not despise those who think they must not eat certain foods. For example:

The one who eats must not despise (NABRE)

The one who eats everything: This phrase refers to the person who believes he can eat any food (14:2a). In some languages a literal translation would not make that meaning clear. If that is true in your language, make it clear. For example:

the one who eats anything

belittle: This word refers to considering someone to be worthless. Here are other ways to translate this word:

have contempt for

look down on (NLT)

call worthless

the one who does not: The Greek is literally “the one not eating.” It refers to the person who believes it is not right for him to eat certain foods, so he does not eat them. In some languages a literal translation would not make that meaning clear. If that is true in your language, make it clear.

the one who does not eat certain foods

the one who avoids some kinds of food

General Comment on 14:3a

The words “eats” and “does” are in the English present tense. They indicate what is usually done by these two people. In some languages using the way to indicate habitual action would be the best translation.

14:3b

and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does,

And the person/believer who does not eat all foods must not condemn the person/believer who eats all foods,
And the second one must not think that the first one is a bad person.

judge: Here this phrase refers to considering someone to be a bad person. It does not refer here to what a judge does in a courtroom. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

condemn (NIV)

consider as a bad person

criticize (GW)

14:3c

for God has accepted him.

because God has accepted that person.
For God has welcomed them both into his kingdom.

for: Here this word introduces the reason why believers should not despise or pass judgment on other believers. For example:

because (NJB)

accepted: The Greek word refers to bringing in someone into your group of friends and accepting him or her. See how you translated this word in 14:1.

him: Here this word refers to both the believer who eats all foods and the believer who does not eat certain foods. It refers to both men and women. For example:

them (NIV11)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἐσθίων, τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω; ὁ δὲ μὴ ἐσθίων, τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω

the_‹one› ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ ἐσθίων τόν μή ἐσθίοντα μή ἐξουθενείτω ὁ δέ μή ἐσθίων τόν ἐσθίοντα μή κρινέτω ὁ Θεός Γάρ αὐτόν προσελάβετο)

Here, the one eating refers to the person mentioned in the previous verse who believes that he can eat any kind of food, and the one not eating refers to the person called “the one being weak” in the previous two verses. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Let the one who eats any type of food not despise the one who does not eat every type of food, and let the one who does not eat every type of food not judge the one who eats every type of food]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὁ Θεὸς & αὐτὸν προσελάβετο

Although the pronoun him is singular, here it refers to both the one eating and the one not eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [God has accepted them]
