Romans 14

1Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.

τον δε ασθενουντα τη πιστει προσλαμβανεσθε, μη εις διακρισεις διαλογισμων.

2For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

ος μεν πιστευει φαγειν παντα, ο δε ασθενων λαχανα εσθιει.

3Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

ο εσθιων τον μη εσθιοντα μη εξουθενειτω, και ο μη εσθιων τον εσθιοντα μη κρινετω· ο θεος γαρ αυτον προσελαβετο.

4Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

συ τις ει ο κρινων αλλοτριον οικετην; τω ιδιω κυριω στηκει η πιπτει· σταθησεται δε· δυνατος γαρ εστιν ο θεος στησαι αυτον.

5One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

ος μεν κρινει ημεραν παρ ημεραν, ος δε κρινει πασαν ημεραν. εκαστος εν τω ιδιω νοι πληροφορεισθω.

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; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

ο φρονων την ημεραν κυριω φρονει, και ο μη φρονων την ημεραν κυριω ου φρονει. και ο εσθιων κυριω εσθιει· ευχαριστει γαρ τω θεω· και ο μη εσθιων κυριω ουκ εσθιει, και ευχαριστει τω θεω.

7For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

ουδεις γαρ ημων εαυτω ζη και ουδεις εαυτω αποθνησκει·

8For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

εαν τε γαρ ζωμεν, τω κυριω ζωμεν, εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν, τω κυριω αποθνησκομεν. εαν τε ουν ζωμεν εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν, του κυριου εσμεν.

9For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

εις τουτο γαρ χριστος και απεθανεν και ανεστη και εζησεν, ινα και νεκρων και ζωντων κυριευση.

10But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

συ δε τι κρινεις τον αδελφον σου; η και συ τι εξουθενεις τον αδελφον σου; παντες γαρ παραστησομεθα τω βηματι του χριστου.

11For it is written: 'As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.'

γεγραπται γαρ· ζω εγω, λεγει κυριος, οτι εμοι καμψει παν γονυ, και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησεται τω θεω.

12So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

αρα ουν εκαστος ημων περι εαυτου λογον δωσει τω θεω.

13Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.

μηκετι ουν αλληλους κρινωμεν, αλλα τουτο κρινατε μαλλον, το μη τιθεναι προσκομμα τω αδελφω η σκανδαλον.

14I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

οιδα και πεπεισμαι εν κυριω ιησου οτι ουδεν κοινον δι αυτου· ει μη τω λογιζομενω τι κοινον ειναι, εκεινω κοινον.

15Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

ει δε δια βρωμα ο αδελφος σου λυπειται, ουκετι κατα αγαπην περιπατεις. μη τω βρωματι σου εκεινον απολλυε, υπερ ου χριστος απεθανεν.

16Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

μη βλασφημεισθω ουν υμων το αγαθον.

17for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

ου γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου βρωσις και ποσις, αλλα δικαιοσυνη και ειρηνη και χαρα εν πνευματι αγιω·

18For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

ο γαρ εν τουτοις δουλευων τω χριστω ευαρεστος τω θεω και δοκιμος τοις ανθρωποις.

19Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

αρα ουν τα της ειρηνης διωκωμεν και τα της οικοδομης της εις αλληλους.

20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense.

μη ενεκεν βρωματος καταλυε το εργον του θεου. παντα μεν καθαρα, αλλα κακον τω ανθρωπω τω δια προσκομματος εσθιοντι.

21It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

καλον το μη φαγειν κρεα μηδε πιειν οινον μηδε εν ω ο αδελφος σου προσκοπτει η σκανδαλιζεται η ασθενει.

22Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

συ πιστιν εχεις; κατα σεαυτον εχε ενωπιον του θεου. μακαριος ο μη κρινων εαυτον εν ω δοκιμαζει.

23But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

ο δε διακρινομενος εαν φαγη, κατακεκριται, οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως· παν δε ο ουκ εκ πιστεως, αμαρτια εστιν.
