Rom 14:2	One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.	^bOne person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.	ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει.
Rom 14:3	The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.	Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and ^clet not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.	ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, ^{▼▼ ὁ δὲ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| καὶ ὁ = RP} ὁ δὲ ⸃ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο.
Rom 14:4	Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.	^eWho are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master ^{▼▼Or lord} that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.	σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει· σταθήσεται δέ, ^{▼▼ δυνατεῖ γὰρ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| δυνατὸς γάρ ἐστιν = RP} δυνατεῖ γὰρ ⸃ ὁ ^{▼▼ κύριος = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| θεὸς = RP} κύριος στῆσαι αὐτόν.
Rom 14:5	One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.	ⁱOne person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. ^jEach one should be fully convinced in his own mind.	Ὃς ^{▼▼ μὲν = Treg NIV RP: \|\| μὲν γάρ = WH NA} μὲν κρίνει ἡμέραν παρ᾽ ἡμέραν, ὃς δὲ κρίνει πᾶσαν ἡμέραν· ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ νοῒ πληροφορείσθω·
Rom 14:6	Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.	The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since ^lhe gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.	ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ ^{▼▼ φρονεῖ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| φρονεῖ καὶ ὁ μὴ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ οὐ φρονεῖ = RP} φρονεῖ. καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ ἐσθίει, εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ θεῷ.
Rom 14:7	For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.	For ⁿnone of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.	Οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῇ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνῄσκει·
Rom 14:8	If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.	For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, ^owhether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.	ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν, τῷ κυρίῳ ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποθνῄσκομεν. ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τοῦ κυρίου ἐσμέν.
Rom 14:9	For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Rom 14:14	I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.

Rom 14:15	If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.

Rom 14:18	because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
