ROM 14:16 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Unde Ezechiel: Justitia justi non proficiet ei, si erraverit Ezech. 33.. Non ergo blasphemetur bonum. Bona in se comestio blasphemabilis est dum aliis nocet: et quia nocet, abstine, quia non est causa regni Dei esca.

the good

Here, good could refer to: (1) the good things that God gives Christians. Alternate translation: [good things] (2) the freedom that Christians have to eat any food they want to eat. Alternate translation: [your freedom to eat anything]
