Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
1Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.
2Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
2For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.
3Is qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non judicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
3Let 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.
4Tu quis es, qui judicas alienum servum? domino suo stat, aut cadit: stabit autem: potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
4Who 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.
5Nam alius judicat diem inter diem: alius autem judicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
5For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.
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 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.
7Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
7For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.
8Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
8For 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.
9In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
9For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10Tu autem quid judicas fratrem tuum? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum? omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
10But 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.
11Scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
11For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
12Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.
13Non ergo amplius invicem judicemus: sed hoc judicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
13Let 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.
14Scio, et confido in Domino Jesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
14I 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.
15Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur, jam non secundum caritatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
15For 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.
16Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
16Let not then our good be evil spoken of.
17Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus: sed justitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto:
17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
18For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.
19Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
19Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.
20Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei, omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
20Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
21It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.
22Tu fidem habes? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo. Beatus qui non judicat semetipsum in eo quod probat.
22Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
23Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est: quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
23But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
