Римляни 14
Библия, синодално издание
14 (A)Немощния във вярата приемайте без препирни за мнения.
2 (B)Един вярва, че може да яде всичко, а немощният яде зеленчук.
3 Който яде, да не презира оногова, който не яде; и който не яде, да не осъжда оногова, който яде, понеже Бог го е приел.
4 (C)Кой си ти, който съдиш чуждия слуга? Пред своя Господар стои той, или пада. И ще бъде изправен, защото Бог е мощен да го изправи.
5 Един различава ден от ден, а друг смята всички дни еднакви. Всеки да постъпва, според както е напълно уверен в ума си.
6 (D)Който различава дните, различава ги за Господа; и който не различава дните, за Господа ги не различава. Който яде, за Господа яде, защото благодари на Бога; и който не яде, за Господа не яде, и благодари на Бога.
7 (E)Защото никой от нас не живее за себе си и никой не умира за себе си,
8 но живеем ли – за Господа живеем, умираме ли – за Господа умираме; следователно, живеем ли, или умираме – Господни сме.
9 (F)Защото Христос затова и умря и възкръсна и оживя, за да господарува и над мъртви и над живи.
10 (G)А ти защо съдиш брата си? Или пък ти защо презираш брата си? Всички ще застанем пред съдилището Христово.
11 (H)Защото писано е: „жив съм Аз, казва Господ, пред Мене ще се преклони всяко коляно, и всеки език ще изповяда Бога“.
12 (I)И тъй, всеки от нас ще отговаря Богу за себе си.
13 (J)Прочее, нека не съдим вече един другиго, а по-добре съдете за това – да не поставяте на брата си препънка или съблазън.
14 (K)Зная и съм уверен чрез Господа Иисуса, че няма нищо само по себе си нечисто; само за оногова, който счита нещо за нечисто, за него то е нечисто.
15 (L)Ако пък за ястие се огорчава брат ти, ти вече не по любов постъпваш. Не погубвай със своето ястие оногова, за когото Христос умря.
16 Да се не хули, прочее, вашето добро.
17 (M)Защото царството Божие не е ястие и питие, а правда и мир и радост в Светаго Духа.
18 Който служи на Христа с тия добродетели, угоден е Богу и изпитан между човеците.
19 И тъй, нека търсим онова, що служи за мир и взаимно назидание.
20 (N)Зарад ястие не разрушавай делото Божие. Всичко е чисто, а лошо е за оня човек, който яде със съблазън;
21 по-добре е да не ядеш месо, да не пиеш вино и да не правиш нищо, от което брат ти се препъва, или се съблазнява, или изнемогва.
22 (O)Имаш ли вяра? Имай си я за себе си пред Бога. Блажен е, който не осъжда себе си за това, що одобрява.
23 (P)А който се съмнява, осъден е, ако яде, защото яде не от вяра; а всичко, що не е от вяра, е грях.
24 (Q)А на Тогова, Който има сила да ви укрепи, според благовестието ми и проповедта за Иисуса Христа, според откритието на тайната, умълчавана от вечни времена,
25 (R)а сега явена, и чрез пророческите писания, по заповед на вечния Бог, възвестена на всички народи, за да се покоряват на вярата, –
26 на Тогова единаго премъдраго Бога, чрез Иисуса Христа, слава вовеки, амин.
Romans 14
Contemporary English Version
Don't Criticize Others
14 (A) Welcome all the Lord's followers, even those whose faith is weak. Don't criticize them for having beliefs that are different from yours. 2 Some think it is all right to eat anything, while those whose faith is weak will eat only vegetables. 3 But you should not criticize others for eating or for not eating. After all, God welcomes everyone. 4 What right do you have to criticize someone else's servants? Only their Lord can decide if they are doing right, and the Lord will make sure that they do right.
5 Some of the Lord's followers think one day is more important than another. Others think all days are the same. But each of you should make up your own mind. 6 Any followers who count one day more important than another day do it to honor their Lord. And any followers who eat meat give thanks to God, just like the ones who don't eat meat.
7 Whether we live or die, it must be for God, rather than for ourselves. 8 Whether we live or die, it must be for the Lord. Alive or dead, we still belong to the Lord. 9 This is because Christ died and rose to life, so that he would be the Lord of the dead and of the living. 10 (B) Why do you criticize other followers of the Lord? Why do you look down on them? The day is coming when God will judge all of us. 11 (C) In the Scriptures God says,
“I swear by my very life
that everyone will kneel down
and praise my name!”
12 And so, each of us must give an account to God for what we do.
Don't Cause Problems for Others
13 We must stop judging others. We must also make up our minds not to upset anyone's faith. 14 The Lord Jesus has made it clear to me that God considers all foods fit to eat. But if you think some foods are unfit to eat, then for you they are not fit.
15 If you are hurting others by the foods you eat, you are not guided by love. Don't let your appetite destroy someone Christ died for. 16 Don't let your right to eat bring shame to Christ. 17 God's kingdom isn't about eating and drinking. It is about pleasing God, about living in peace, and about true happiness. All this comes from the Holy Spirit. 18 If you serve Christ in this way, you will please God and be respected by people. 19 We should try[a] to live at peace and help each other have a strong faith.
20 Don't let your appetite destroy what God has done. All foods are fit to eat, but it is wrong to cause problems for others by what you eat. 21 It is best not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else that causes problems for other followers of the Lord. 22 What you believe about these things should be kept between you and God. You are fortunate, if your actions don't make you have doubts. 23 But if you do have doubts about what you eat, you are going against your beliefs. And you know that is wrong, because anything you do against your beliefs is sin.

Romans 14
New King James Version
The Law of Liberty
14 Receive(A) one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. 2 For one believes he (B)may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3 Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and (C)let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. 4 (D)Who 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.
5 (E)One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who (F)observes the day, observes it to the Lord; [a]and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for (G)he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For (H)none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we (I)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. 9 For (J)to this end Christ died [b]and rose and lived again, that He might be (K)Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For (L)we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [c]Christ. 11 For it is written:
(M)“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”
12 So then (N)each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another [d]anymore, but rather resolve this, (O)not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
The Law of Love
14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus (P)that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. (Q)Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 (R)Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 (S)for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and (T)peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in [e]these things (U)is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 (V)Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which (W)one may [f]edify another. 20 (X)Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. (Y)All things indeed are pure, (Z)but it is evil for the man who eats with [g]offense. 21 It is good neither to eat (AA)meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles [h]or is offended or is made weak. 22 [i]Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. (AB)Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for (AC)whatever is not from faith is [j]sin.
