Romans 14 - King James Version with Greek
Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. | 1 τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε, μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν. | |||
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. | 2 ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει. | |||
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. | 3 ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, ὁ δὲ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο. | |||
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. | 4 σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῶ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει· σταθήσεται δέ, δυνατεῖ γὰρ ὁ κύριος στῆσαι αὐτόν. | |||
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. | 5 ὃς μὲν [γὰρ] κρίνει ἡμέραν παρ᾽ ἡμέραν, ὃς δὲ κρίνει πᾶσαν ἡμέραν· ἕκαστος ἐν τῶ ἰδίῳ νοῒ πληροφορείσθω. | |||
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. | 6 ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ φρονεῖ· καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ ἐσθίει, εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῶ θεῶ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῶ θεῶ. | |||
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. | 7 οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῶ ζῇ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἑαυτῶ ἀποθνῄσκει· | |||
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. | 8 ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν, τῶ κυρίῳ ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τῶ κυρίῳ ἀποθνῄσκομεν. ἐάν τε οὗν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τοῦ κυρίου ἐσμέν. | |||
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. | 9 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἔζησεν ἵνα καὶ νεκρῶν καὶ ζώντων κυριεύσῃ. | |||
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. | 10 σὺ δὲ τί κρίνεις τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; ἢ καὶ σὺ τί ἐξουθενεῖς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; πάντες γὰρ παραστησόμεθα τῶ βήματι τοῦ θεοῦ· | |||
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. | 11 γέγραπται γάρ, ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει κύριος, ὅτι ἐμοὶ κάμψει πᾶν γόνυ, καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσεται τῶ θεῶ. | |||
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. | 12 ἄρα [οὗν] ἕκαστος ἡμῶν περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λόγον δώσει [τῶ θεῶ]. | |||
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. | 13 μηκέτι οὗν ἀλλήλους κρίνωμεν· ἀλλὰ τοῦτο κρίνατε μᾶλλον, τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα τῶ ἀδελφῶ ἢ σκάνδαλον. | |||
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. | 14 οἶδα καὶ πέπεισμαι ἐν κυρίῳ ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδὲν κοινὸν δι᾽ ἑαυτοῦ· εἰ μὴ τῶ λογιζομένῳ τι κοινὸν εἶναι, ἐκείνῳ κοινόν. | |||
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. | 15 εἰ γὰρ διὰ βρῶμα ὁ ἀδελφός σου λυπεῖται, οὐκέτι κατὰ ἀγάπην περιπατεῖς. μὴ τῶ βρώματί σου ἐκεῖνον ἀπόλλυε ὑπὲρ οὖ χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν. | |||
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: | 16 μὴ βλασφημείσθω οὗν ὑμῶν τὸ ἀγαθόν. | |||
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. | 17 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ βρῶσις καὶ πόσις, ἀλλὰ δικαιοσύνη καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ χαρὰ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ· | |||
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. | 18 ὁ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ δουλεύων τῶ χριστῶ εὐάρεστος τῶ θεῶ καὶ δόκιμος τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. | |||
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. | 19 ἄρα οὗν τὰ τῆς εἰρήνης διώκωμεν καὶ τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς τῆς εἰς ἀλλήλους· | |||
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. | 20 μὴ ἕνεκεν βρώματος κατάλυε τὸ ἔργον τοῦ θεοῦ. πάντα μὲν καθαρά, ἀλλὰ κακὸν τῶ ἀνθρώπῳ τῶ διὰ προσκόμματος ἐσθίοντι. | |||
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. | 21 καλὸν τὸ μὴ φαγεῖν κρέα μηδὲ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδὲ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σου προσκόπτει. | |||
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. | 22 σὺ πίστιν [ἣν] ἔχεις κατὰ σεαυτὸν ἔχε ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ. μακάριος ὁ μὴ κρίνων ἑαυτὸν ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει· | |||
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. | 23 ὁ δὲ διακρινόμενος ἐὰν φάγῃ κατακέκριται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως· πᾶν δὲ ὃ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως ἁμαρτία ἐστίν. | |||
