14:1 Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.

14:1 Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.

14:2 Alius enim credit se manducare omnia : qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.

14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.

14:3 Is qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat : et qui non manducat, manducantem non judicet : Deus enim illum assumpsit.

14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.

14:4 Tu quis es, qui judicas alienum servum ? domino suo stat, aut cadit : stabit autem : potens est enim Deus statuere illum.

14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.

14:5 Nam alius judicat diem inter diem : alius autem judicat omnem diem : unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.

14:5 For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day. Let every man abound in his own sense.

14:6 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.

14:6 He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God.

14:7 Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.

14:7 For none of us liveth to himself: and no man dieth to himself.

14:8 Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus : sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.

14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

14:9 In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit : ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.

14:9 For to this end Christ died and rose again: that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

14:10 Tu autem quid judicas fratrem tuum ? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum ? omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.

14:10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? Or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

14:11 Scriptum est enim : Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu : et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.

14:11 For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God.

14:12 Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.

14:12 Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.

14:13 Non ergo amplius invicem judicemus : sed hoc judicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.

14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother's way.

14:14 Scio, et confido in Domino Jesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.

14:14 I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

14:15 Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur, jam non secundum caritatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.

14:15 For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

14:16 Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.

14:16 Let not then our good be evil spoken of.

14:17 Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus : sed justitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto :

14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but justice and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

14:18 qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.

14:18 For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men.

14:19 Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur : et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.

14:19 Therefore, let us follow after the things that are of peace and keep the things that are of edification, one towards another.

14:20 Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei, omnia quidem sunt munda : sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.

14:20 Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

14:21 Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.

14:21 It is good not to eat flesh and not to drink wine: nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended or scandalized or made weak.

14:22 Tu fidem habes ? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo. Beatus qui non judicat semetipsum in eo quod probat.

14:22 Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

14:23 Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est : quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.

14:23 But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
