World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
1Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
2One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
2Alius enim credit se manducare omnia: qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
3Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
3Is qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat: et qui non manducat, manducantem non judicet: Deus enim illum assumpsit.
4Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
4Tu quis es, qui judicas alienum servum? domino suo stat, aut cadit: stabit autem: potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
5One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
5Nam alius judicat diem inter diem: alius autem judicat omnem diem: unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
6He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
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.
7For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
7Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
8For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
8Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus: sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
9For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
9In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
10But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
10Tu autem quid judicas fratrem tuum? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum? omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
11For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
11Scriptum est enim: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu: et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
12So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
12Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
13Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
13Non ergo amplius invicem judicemus: sed hoc judicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
14I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14Scio, et confido in Domino Jesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
15Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
15Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur, jam non secundum caritatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
16Then don’t let your good be slandered,
16Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
17for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
17Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus: sed justitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto:
18For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
18qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
19So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
19Itaque quæ pacis sunt, sectemur: et quæ ædificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
20Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
20Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei, omnia quidem sunt munda: sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
21It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
21Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
22Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
22Tu fidem habes? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo. Beatus qui non judicat semetipsum in eo quod probat.
23But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
23Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est: quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
