Chapter 14 | |
1 | Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. |
2 | For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. |
3 | Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for ELOHIYM hath received him. |
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 ELOHIYM is able to make him stand. |
5 | One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. |
6 | He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto YHVH; and he that regardeth not the day, to YHVH he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to YHVH, for he giveth ELOHIYM thanks; and he that eateth not, to YHVH he eateth not, and giveth ELOHIYM thanks. |
7 | For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. |
8 | For whether we live, we live unto YHVH; and whether we die, we die unto YHVH: whether we live therefore, or die, we are YHVH's. |
9 | For to this end MASHIYACH both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be ADONAY both of the dead and living. |
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 MASHIYACH. |
11 | For it is written, As I live, saith the EL, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to YHVH. |
12 | So then every one of us shall give account of himself to YHVH. |
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. |
14 | I know, and am persuaded by the ADONAY YAHSHUA, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. |
15 | But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom MASHIYACH died. |
16 | Let not then your good be evil spoken of: |
17 | For the kingdom of EL is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. |
18 | For he that in these things serveth MASHIYACH is acceptable to ELOHIYM, and approved of men. |
19 | Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. |
20 | For meat destroy not the work of ELOHIYM. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. |
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. |
22 | Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before ELOHIYM. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
23 | And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. |
