1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 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 is able to make him stand. 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 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 . He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 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. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 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. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 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. 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 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. 21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
1 infirmum autem in fide adsumite
non in disceptationibus cogitationum
2 alius enim credit manducare omnia
qui autem infirmus est holus manducat
3 is qui manducat non manducantem non spernat
et qui non manducat manducantem non iudicet
Deus enim illum adsumpsit
4 tu quis es qui iudices alienum servum
suo domino stat aut cadit
stabit autem potens est enim Deus statuere illum
5 nam alius iudicat diem plus inter diem
alius iudicat omnem diem
unusquisque in suo sensu abundet
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 nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit et nemo sibi moritur
8 sive enim vivimus Domino vivimus
sive morimur Domino morimur
sive ergo vivimus sive morimur Domini sumus
9 in hoc enim Christus et mortuus est et revixit
ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur
10 tu autem quid iudicas fratrem tuum
aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum
omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Dei
11 scriptum est enim vivo ego dicit Dominus
quoniam mihi flectet omne genu
et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo
12 itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo
13 non ergo amplius invicem iudicemus sed hoc iudicate magis
ne ponatis offendiculum fratri vel scandalum
14 scio et confido in Domino Iesu quia nihil commune per ipsum
nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esse illi commune est
15 si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur
iam non secundum caritatem ambulas
noli cibo tuo illum perdere pro quo Christus mortuus est
16 non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum
17 non est regnum Dei esca et potus
sed iustitia et pax et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto
18 qui enim in hoc servit Christo
placet Deo et probatus est hominibus
19 itaque quae pacis sunt sectemur
et quae aedificationis sunt in invicem
20 noli propter escam destruere opus Dei
omnia quidem munda sunt
sed malum est homini qui per offendiculum manducat
21 bonum est non manducare carnem et non bibere vinum
neque in quo frater tuus offendit
aut scandalizatur aut infirmatur
22 tu fidem habes penes temet ipsum habe coram Deo
beatus qui non iudicat semet ipsum in eo quo probat
23 qui autem discernit si manducaverit damnatus est quia non ex fide
omne autem quod non ex fide peccatum est
