NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Romans 14

Principles of Conscience

1

Nowg1161  aacceptg4355 the one who is  bweakg770 in faithg4102, but not for the purpose of passingg1253 judgmentg1253 on his opinionsg1261.

2

 aOneg3739g3303a person hasg4100 faithg4100 that he may eatg2068 allg3956 thingsg3956, but he who is  bweakg770 eatsg2068 vegetablesg3001 only.

3

The oneg3739 who eatsg2068 is not to  aregardg1848 with contemptg1848 the oneg3588 who does not eatg2068, and the oneg3739 who does not eatg2068 is not to  bjudgeg2919 the oneg3588 who eatsg2068, for Godg2316 has  cacceptedg4355 him.

4

 aWhog5101 are you to judgeg2919 the  1servantg3610b of anotherg245? To his owng2398  2masterg2962 he standsg4739 org2228 fallsg4098; and he will standg2476, for the Lordg2962 is ableg1414 to makeg2476 him standg2476.

5

 aOneg3739g3303a person  1regardsg2919 one dayg2250 aboveg3844 anotherg2250, anotherg3739g1161 regardsg2919 everyg3956 dayg2250 alike. Eachg1538 persong1538 must be  bfullyg4135 convincedg4135 in his owng2398 mindg3563.

6

He who observesg5426 the dayg2250, observesg5426 it for the Lordg2962, and he who eatsg2068,  1doesg2068 sog2068 for the Lordg2962, for he  agivesg2168 thanksg2168 to Godg2316; and he who eatsg2068 not, for the Lordg2962 he does not eatg2068, and givesg2168 thanksg2168 to Godg2316.

7

For not oneg3762 of us  alivesg2198 for himselfg1438, and not oneg3762 diesg599 for himselfg1438;

8

for ifg1437 we liveg2198, we liveg2198 for the Lordg2962, org5037 ifg1437 we dieg599, we dieg599 for the Lordg2962; thereforeg3767  awhetherg1437g5037 we liveg2198 org1437g5037 dieg599, we are the Lord'sg2962.

9

For to thisg3778 end  aChristg5547 diedg599 and livedg2198 again, that He might be  bLordg2961 bothg2532 of the deadg3498 and of the livingg2198.

10

But you, whyg5101 do you judgeg2919 your brotherg80? Org2228 you againg2532, whyg5101 do you  aregardg1848 your brotherg80 with contemptg1848? For  bwe will allg3956 standg3936 beforeg3936 the judgmentg968 seatg968 of Godg2316.

11

For it is writteng1125, " aAS I LIVEg2198, SAYSg3004 THE LORDg2962,  bEVERYg3956 KNEEg1119 SHALL BOWg2578 TO ME, AND EVERYg3956 TONGUEg1100 SHALL  1GIVEg1843 PRAISEg1843 TO GODg2316."

12

Sog686 theng686  aeachg1538 oneg1538 of us will giveg1325 an accountg3056 of himselfg1438 to Godg2316.

13

Thereforeg3767 let us not  ajudgeg2919 oneg240 anotherg240 anymoreg3371, but ratherg3123 determineg2919 thisg3778-- bnot to putg5087 an obstacleg4348 org2228 a stumblingg4625 blockg4625 in a brother'sg80 way.

14

I knowg3609a and am convincedg3982  1in the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 that  anothingg3762 is uncleang2839 in itselfg1438; but to him who  bthinksg3049 anythingg5100 to be uncleang2839, to him it is uncleang2839.

15

For ifg1487 becauseg1223 of foodg1033 your brotherg80 is hurtg3076, you are nog3765 longerg3765  awalkingg4043 accordingg2596 to loveg26.  bDo not destroyg622 with your foodg1033 him for whomg3739 Christg5547 diedg599.

16

Thereforeg3767  ado not let whatg18 is for you a goodg18 thingg18 be  1spokeng987 of as evilg987;

17

for the kingdomg932 of Godg2316  ais not eatingg1035 and drinkingg4213, but righteousnessg1343 and  bpeaceg1515 and  bjoyg5479 in the Holyg40 Spiritg4151.

18

For he who in thisg3778 way  aservesg1398 Christg5547 is  bacceptableg2101 to Godg2316 and approvedg1384 by meng444.

19

Sog686 theng686  1we  apursueg1377 the things which make for peaceg1515 and the  bbuildingg3619 up of oneg240 anotherg240.

20

 aDo not tearg2647 downg2647 the workg2041 of Godg2316 for the sakeg1752a of foodg1033.  bAllg3956 thingsg3956 indeedg3303a are cleang2513, but  cthey are evilg2556 for the mang444 who eatsg2068  1and givesg1223 offenseg4348.

21

 aIt is goodg2570 not to eatg2068 meatg2907 org3366 to drinkg4095 wineg3631, org3366 to do anything by whichg3739 your brotherg80 stumblesg4350.

22

The faithg4102 whichg3739 you haveg2192, haveg2192  1as your owng4572 convictiong4572 beforeg1799 Godg2316. Happyg3107 is he who  adoes not condemng2919 himselfg1438 in whatg3739 he approvesg1381a.

23

But  ahe who doubtsg1252 is condemnedg2632 ifg1437 he eatsg2068, becauseg3754 his eating is not from faithg4102; and whateverg3956g3739 is not from faithg4102 is sing266.
