Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Commune ponit pro immundo, ut tractum a vasis quæ ante omnibus usibus erant communia, quorum quædam postea sacrificiis dedicata non amplius communia, sed sancta dicebantur; vel tractum est a Judæis quia ipsi Judæi dicebantur proprius populus Dei, alii vero omnes communes et immundi.

14:14 αυτου ¦ εαυτου CT TR
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
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).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
οἶδα καὶ πέπεισμαι ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ
˱I˲_/have/_known and ˱I˲_/have_been/_persuaded in /the/_Lord Jesus
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
nothing_‹is› unclean & unclean & unclean_‹it_is›
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
nothing_‹is› unclean by itself
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]
