로마서 14

1믿음이 연약한 자를 너희가 받되 그의 의심하는 바를 비판하지 말라 2어떤 사람은 모든 것을 먹을 만한 믿음이 있고 연약한 자는 채소를 먹느니라 3먹는 자는 먹지 않는 자를 업신여기지 말고 먹지 못하는 자는 먹는 자를 판단하지 말라 이는 하나님이 저를 받으셨음이니라 4남의 하인을 판단하는 너는 누구뇨 그 섰는 것이나 넘어지는 것이 제 주인에게 있으매 저가 세움을 받으리니 이는 저를 세우시는 권능이 주께 있음이니라 5혹은 이 날을 저 날보다 낫게 여기고 혹은 모든 날을 같게 여기나니 각각 자기 마음에 확정할지니라 6날을 중히 여기는 자도 주를 위하여 중히 여기고 먹는 자도 주를 위하여 먹으니 이는 하나님께 감사함이요 먹지 않는 자도 주를 위하여 먹지 아니하며 하나님께 감사하느니라 7우리 중에 누구든지 자기를 위하여 사는 자가 없고 자기를 위하여 죽는 자도 없도다 8우리가 살아도 주를 위하여 살고 죽어도 주를 위하여 죽나니 그러므로 사나 죽으나 우리가 주의 것이로라 9이를 위하여 그리스도께서 죽었다가 다시 살으셨으니 곧 죽은 자와 산 자의 주가 되려 하심이니라 10네가 어찌하여 네 형제를 판단하느뇨 어찌하여 네 형제를 업신여기느뇨 우리가 다 하나님의 심판대 앞에 서리라 11기록되었으되 주께서 가라사대 내가 살았노니 모든 무릎이 내게 꿇을 것이요 모든 혀가 하나님께 자백하리라 하였느니라 12이러므로 우리 각인이 자기 일을 하나님께 직고하리라 13그런즉 우리가 다시는 서로 판단하지 말고 도리어 부딪힐 것이나 거칠 것으로 형제 앞에 두지 아니할 것을 주의하라 14내가 주 예수 안에서 알고 확신하는 것은 무엇이든지 스스로 속된 것이 없으되 다만 속되게 여기는 그 사람에게는 속되니라 15만일 식물을 인하여 네 형제가 근심하게 되면 이는 네가 사랑으로 행치 아니함이라 그리스도께서 대신하여 죽으신 형제를 네 식물로 망케 하지 말라 16그러므로 너희의 선한 것이 비방을 받지 않게 하라 17하나님의 나라는 먹는 것과 마시는 것이 아니요 오직 성령 안에서 의와 평강과 희락이라 18이로써 그리스도를 섬기는 자는 하나님께 기뻐하심을 받으며 사람에게도 칭찬을 받느니라 19이러므로 우리가 화평의 일과 서로 덕을 세우는 일을 힘쓰나니 20식물을 인하여 하나님의 사업을 무너지게 말라 만물이 다 정하되 거리낌으로 먹는 사람에게는 악하니라 21고기도 먹지 아니하고 포도주도 마시지 아니하고 무엇이든지 네 형제로 거리끼게 하는 일을 아니함이 아름다우니라 22네게 있는 믿음을 하나님 앞에서 스스로 가지고 있으라 자기의 옳다 하는 바로 자기를 책하지 아니하는 자는 복이 있도다 23의심하고 먹는 자는 정죄되었나니 이는 믿음으로 좇아 하지 아니한 연고라 믿음으로 좇아 하지 아니하는 모든 것이 죄니라

1Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions. 2One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand. 5One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. 6He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks. 7For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. 8For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’” 12So then each one of us will give account of himself to God. 13Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling. 14I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. 16Then don’t let your good be slandered, 17for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up. 20Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating. 21It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak. 22Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves. 23But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin. Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.

1Dengene nu, die zwak is in het geloof, neemt aan, maar niet tot twistige samensprekingen. 2De een gelooft wel, dat men alles eten mag, maar die zwak is, eet moeskruiden. 3Die daar eet, verachte hem niet, die niet eet; en die niet eet, oordele hem niet, die daar eet; want God heeft hem aangenomen. 4Wie zijt gij, die eens anderen huisknecht oordeelt? Hij staat, of hij valt zijn eigen heer; doch hij zal vastgesteld worden, want God is machtig hem vast te stellen. 5De een acht wel den enen dag boven den anderen dag; maar de ander acht al de dagen gelijk. Een iegelijk zij in zijn eigen gemoed ten volle verzekerd. 6Die den dag waarneemt, die neemt hem waar den Heere; en die den dag niet waarneemt, die neemt hem niet waar den Heere. Die daar eet, die eet zulks den Heere, want hij dankt God; en die niet eet, die eet zulks den Heere niet, en hij dankt God. 7Want niemand van ons leeft zichzelven, en niemand sterft zichzelven. 8Want hetzij dat wij leven, wij leven den Heere; hetzij dat wij sterven, wij sterven den Heere. Hetzij dan dat wij leven, hetzij dat wij sterven, wij zijn des Heeren. 9Want daartoe is Christus ook gestorven, en opgestaan, en weder levend geworden, opdat Hij beiden over doden en levenden heersen zou. 10Maar gij, wat oordeelt gij uw broeder? Of ook gij, wat veracht gij uw broeder? Want wij zullen allen voor den rechterstoel van Christus gesteld worden. 11Want er is geschreven: Ik leef, zegt de Heere; voor Mij zal alle knie zich buigen, en alle tong zal God belijden. 12Zo dan een iegelijk van ons zal voor zichzelven Gode rekenschap geven. 13Laat ons dan elkander niet meer oordelen; maar oordeelt dit liever, namelijk, dat gij den broeder geen aanstoot of ergernis geeft. 14Ik weet en ben verzekerd in den Heere Jezus, dat geen ding onrein is in zichzelven; dan die acht iets onrein te zijn, die is het onrein. 15Maar indien uw broeder om der spijze wil bedroefd wordt, zo wandelt gij niet meer naar liefde. Verderf dien niet met uw spijze, voor welken Christus gestorven is. 16Dat dan uw goed niet gelasterd worde. 17Want het Koninkrijk Gods is niet spijs en drank, maar rechtvaardigheid, en vrede, en blijdschap, door den Heiligen Geest. 18Want die Christus in deze dingen dient, is Gode welbehagelijk, en aangenaam den mensen. 19Zo dan laat ons najagen, hetgeen tot den vrede, en hetgeen tot de stichting onder elkander dient. 20Verbreek het werk van God niet om der spijze wil. Alle dingen zijn wel rein; maar het is kwaad den mens, die met aanstoot eet. 21Het is goed geen vlees te eten, noch wijn te drinken, noch iets, waaraan uw broeder zich stoot, of geergerd wordt, of waarin hij zwak is. 22Hebt gij geloof? hebt dat bij uzelven voor God. Zalig is hij, die zichzelven niet oordeelt in hetgeen hij voor goed houdt. 23Maar die twijfelt, indien hij eet, is veroordeeld, omdat hij niet uit het geloof eet. En al wat uit het geloof niet is, dat is zonde.
