Romans 14:13-21
Common English Bible
13 So stop judging each other. Instead, this is what you should decide: never put a stumbling block or obstacle in the way of your brother or sister. 14 I know and I’m convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is wrong to eat in itself. But if someone thinks something is wrong to eat, it becomes wrong for that person. 15 If your brother or sister is upset by your food, you are no longer walking in love. Don’t let your food destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 And don’t let something you consider to be good be criticized as wrong. 17 God’s kingdom isn’t about eating food and drinking but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever serves Christ this way pleases God and gets human approval.
19 So let’s strive for the things that bring peace and the things that build each other up. 20 Don’t destroy what God has done because of food. All food is acceptable, but it’s a bad thing if it trips someone else. 21 It’s a good thing not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything that trips your brother or sister.

13 Therefore oun let us krinō stop mēketi passing judgment on krinō one allēlōn another , but alla resolve krinō this houtos instead mallon, never mē to put tithēmi an obstacle proskomma or ē a trap skandalon in ho a brother’ s adelphos way.
14 I know oida and kai am convinced peithō in en the Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous that hoti nothing oudeis is unclean koinos in dia itself heautou; however ei mē, to the ho one who considers logizomai something tis to be eimi unclean koinos, to him ekeinos it is unclean koinos. 15 For gar if ei your sy brother adelphos is being hurt lypeō by dia what you eat brōma, · ho you are peripateō no ouketi longer walking peripateō in kata love agapē. Do apollymi not mē destroy apollymi by ho what you sy eat brōma that ekeinos brother for hyper whom hos Christ Christos died apothnēskō. 16 Therefore oun do not mē let what ho you hymeis regard as good agathos be spoken blasphēmeō of as evil . 17 For gar the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is eimi not ou a matter of eating brōsis and kai drinking posis, but alla of righteousness dikaiosynē and kai peace eirēnē and kai joy chara in en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma. 18 For gar whoever ho serves douleuō Christ Christos in en this houtos way · ho is pleasing euarestos to ho God theos and kai approved dokimos by ho men anthrōpos. 19 So ara then oun let us pursue diōkō what ho makes for ho peace eirēnē and kai · ho for ho mutual eis upbuilding oikodomē. · ho 20 Do not mē, for the sake of food brōma, destroy katalyō the ho work ergon of ho God theos.
