Romans 14 — WBMS
14Verse 1But take ye a sick man in belief, not in deemings, [or in deceptions, or disputations], of thoughts.Verse 2For another man believeth, that he may eat all things; but he that is sick, [or unsteadfast], eat worts.Verse 3He that eateth, despise not him that eateth not; and he that eateth not, deem not him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him [or God hath taken him].Verse 4Who art thou, that deemest another’s servant? To his lord he standeth, or falleth from him, [or falleth down]. But he shall stand; for the Lord is mighty to make him perfect, [or to ordain him, or make steadfast].Verse 5For why one deemeth a day betwixt a day, another deemeth each day. Each man increase in his wit.Verse 6He that understandeth [or savoureth] the day, understandeth [or savoureth] to the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he doeth thankings to God. And he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and doeth thankings to God.Verse 7For no man of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.Verse 8For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or die, we be of the Lord [or we be Lord’s].Verse 9For why for this thing Christ was dead, and rose again, that he be Lord both of quick and of dead men [or of quick and of dead].Verse 10But what deemest thou thy brother? or why despisest thou thy brother? for all we shall stand before the throne of Christ.Verse 11For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, for to me each knee shall be bowed, and each tongue shall acknowledge to God.Verse 12Therefore each of us shall yield reason to God for himself.Verse 13Therefore no more deem we each other; but more deem ye this thing, that ye put not hurting, or cause of stumbling, to a brother.Verse 14I know and trust in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by him, no but to him that deemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.Verse 15And if thy brother be made sorry, [or heavy], in conscience for meat, now thou walkest not after charity. Do not thou through thy meat lose him, for whom Christ died.Verse 16Therefore be not your good thing blasphemed [or despised].Verse 17For why the realm of God is not meat and drink, but rightwiseness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.Verse 18And he that in this thing serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is proved to men.Verse 19Therefore pursue we those things that be of peace, and keep we together those things that be of edification.Verse 20Do not thou for meat lose the work of God. For all things be clean, but it is evil to the man that eateth by offending.Verse 21It is good to not eat flesh, and to not drink wine, neither in what thing thy brother offendeth, or is caused to stumble, or is made sick, [or unsteadfast].Verse 22Thou hast faith with thyself, have thou before God. Blessed is he that deemeth not himself in that thing that he approveth.Verse 23For he that deemeth, is condemned [or is damned], if he eateth; for it, [his eating], is not of faith. And all thing that is not of faith, is sin.
