- 14:1 Now him who is weak in faith receive, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his considerations.
信心软弱的,你们要接纳,但不是为判断所争论的事。
- 14:2 One believes that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables.
有人信百物都可吃,但那软弱的,只吃蔬菜。
- 14:3 He who eats, let him not despise him who does not eat; and he who does not eat, let him not judge him who eats, for God has received him.
吃的人不可轻视不吃的人,不吃的人也不可审判吃的人,因为神已经接纳他了。
- 14:4 Who are you who judge another's household servant? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will be made to stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
你是谁,竟审判别人的家仆?他或站住或跌倒,自有他的主人在,而且他也必要站住,因为主能使他站住。
- 14:5 One judges one day above another; another judges every day alike. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
有人断定这日比那日强,有人断定日日都一样,只是各人自己的心思要坚信不移。
- 14:6 He who regards that day, regards it to the Lord; and he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who does not eat, does not eat to the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.
守日的人是向主守的,吃的人是向主吃的,因为他感谢神;不吃的人是向主不吃的,他也感谢神。
- 14:7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself;
因为我们没有一个人向自己活,也没有一个人向自己死;
- 14:8 For whether we live, we live to the Lord, and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or we die, we are the Lord's.
我们若活着,是向主活;若死了,是向主死。所以我们或活或死,总是主的人。
- 14:9 For Christ died and lived again for this, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
因此基督死了,又活了,为要作死人并活人的主。
- 14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God,
你为什么审判你的弟兄?又为什么轻视你的弟兄?我们都要站在神的审判台前,
- 14:11 For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall openly confess to God.''
因为经上记着:“主说,我指着我的生存起誓,万膝必向我跪拜,万口也必向神公开承认。”
- 14:12 So then each one of us will give an account concerning himself to God.
这样看来,我们各人必要将自己的事向神陈明。
- 14:13 Therefore let us judge one another no longer, but rather judge this: not to put a stumbling block or cause of falling before your brother.
所以我们不可再彼此审判,宁可这样断定:不给弟兄放下绊脚石或跌人之物。
- 14:14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself, except to him who considers something to be unclean; to that man it is unclean.
我在主耶稣里确知深信,凡物本身没有不洁净的,惟独人算为不洁净的,在他就不洁净了。
- 14:15 For if because of food your brother is wounded, you no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy by your food that man for whom Christ died.
你若因食物叫弟兄忧愁,就不再是照着爱而行。基督已经替他死了,你不可因你的食物败坏他。
- 14:16 Therefore do not let your good be slandered;
所以,不可叫你们的善被人毁谤,
- 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
因为神的国不在于吃喝,乃在于公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐。
- 14:18 For he who serves Christ in this is well pleasing to God and approved by men.
这样服事基督的,就为神所喜悦,又为人所称许。
- 14:19 So then let us pursue the things of peace and the things for building up one another.
所以我们务要追求和平的事,以及彼此建造的事。
- 14:20 Do not break down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil for a man to eat while stumbling others.
不可因食物拆毁神的工程。凡物固然洁净,但人吃了,以致成了绊脚石,就是他的恶了。
- 14:21 It is good not to eat meat nor drink wine nor to do anything by which your brother stumbles.
无论是吃肉,是喝酒,或是什么别的绊跌你弟兄的事,一概不作才好。
- 14:22 The faith which you have, have to yourself before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in what he approves;
你有信心,就当自己在神面前持守。人在自己所称许的事上,不审判自己,就有福了。
- 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not out of faith; for all that is not out of faith is sin.
但那疑惑的人若吃了,就必被定罪,因为不是出于信心。凡不是出于信心的,都是罪。
