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

14:7a

For none of us lives to himself alone,

For not one of us lives merely to benefit himself,
For none of us lives for ourselves,

14:7b

and none of us dies to himself alone.

and not one of us can die to benefit himself.
and not one of us dies for ourselves.

14:7a–b

For: Here this word introduces an explanation of 14:6 or introduces support for it.Moo (page 844) and Cranfield (page 707), respectively.

none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone: Here the phrase to himself refers to regarding his own will. Here are other ways to translate these clauses:

not one person among us lives only for his own sake. Like that, not one person among us will die only for his own sake

Not one of us lives for the sake of himself/herself, and not one of us will die for the sake of himself/herself either

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐδείς Γάρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῇ καί οὐδείς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνῄσκει)

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows is the reason why what Paul said in the previous clause is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [This is due to the fact that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Here, us refers to Paul and his Christian readers, so us would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἑαυτῷ & ἑαυτῷ

˱to˲_himself & ˱to˲_himself

Here, for himself means to do something only to benefit oneself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [for the benefit of himself … for the benefit of himself]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Occurrence 2) οὐδεὶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐδείς Γάρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῇ καί οὐδείς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνῄσκει)

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause, as in the UST.
