Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
1Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
2Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
2For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.
3Is qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non judicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
3The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.
4Tu quis es, qui judicas alienum servum? domino suo stat, aut cadit: stabit autem: potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
4Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5Nam alius judicat diem inter diem: alius autem judicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
5One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6Qui sapit diem, Domino sapit, et qui manducat, Domino manducat: gratias enim agit Deo. Et qui non manducat, Domino non manducat, et gratias agit Deo.
6He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
7For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
8Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
8If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
9For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10Tu autem quid judicas fratrem tuum? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum? omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
10Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11Scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
11It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”
12Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13Non ergo amplius invicem judicemus: sed hoc judicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
13Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
14Scio, et confido in Domino Jesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
14I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur, jam non secundum caritatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
15If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.
16Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
16Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
17Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus: sed justitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto:
17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
18For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
19So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei, omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.
21Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.
22Tu fidem habes? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo. Beatus qui non judicat semetipsum in eo quod probat.
22Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
23Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est: quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
23But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
