Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
1 Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
2 Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
3 Let not him that eateth despise
A ⟨judge⟩
him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.3 Is qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non judicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God
ℵBA ⟨the Lord⟩
is able to make him stand.4 Tu quis es, qui judicas alienum servum? domino suo stat, aut cadit: stabit autem: potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
5 One
ℵA ⟨For one⟩
man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.5 Nam alius judicat diem inter diem: alius autem judicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it
ℵBA omit
. HeℵBA ⟨And he⟩
that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanksA ⟨thanks to the Lord⟩
; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.6 Qui sapit diem, Domino sapit, et qui manducat, Domino manducat: gratias enim agit Deo. Et qui non manducat, Domino non manducat, et gratias agit Deo.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
7 Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
8 Sive enim vivimus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived
ℵBA ⟨died and lived⟩
, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.9 In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ
ℵBA ⟨God⟩
.10 Tu autem quid judicas fratrem tuum? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum? omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
11 Scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
12 Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or
B omit
an occasion to fall in his brother's way.13 ¶ Non ergo amplius invicem judicemus: sed hoc judicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14 Scio, et confido in Domino Jesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esse, illi commune est.
15 But
ℵBA ⟨For⟩
if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.15 Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur, jam non secundum caritatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
16 Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
17 Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus: sed justitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto:
18 For he that in these things
ℵBA ⟨this thing⟩
serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.18 qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
19 Let us therefore follow
ℵBA ⟨We follow therefore⟩
after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.19 Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
20 Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei, omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth
ℵ ⟨is grieved⟩
, or is offended, or is made weakℵA omit
.21 Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself
ℵBA ⟨Have to thyself the faith which thou hast⟩
before Godℵ omit
. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.22 Tu fidem habes? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo. Beatus qui non judicat semetipsum in eo quod probat.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. ‡
A adds here Rom. 16:25-27 (but the three verses also appear in their standard place)
23 Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est: quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
