1信心軟弱的,你們要接納,但不要。Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
2有人信百物都可吃;但那軟弱的,。For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.
3吃的人不可輕看不吃的人;不吃的人不可論斷吃的人;因為 神已經收納他了。The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.
4你是誰,竟論斷別人的僕人呢?他或站住或跌倒,自有他的主人在;而且他也必要站住,因為主能使他站住。Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5有人看;有人看日日都是一樣。只是各人心裡要。One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6守日的人是為主守的。吃的人是為主吃的,因他感謝 神;不吃的人是為主不吃的,也感謝 神。He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7我們沒有一個人為自己活,也沒有一個人為自己死。For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
8我們若活著,是為主而活;若死了,是為主而死。所以,我們或活或死總是主的人。If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9因此,基督死了,又活了,為要作死人並活人的主。For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10你這個人,為甚麼論斷弟兄呢?又為甚麼輕看弟兄呢?因我們都要站在 。Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11經上寫著:主說:我憑著我的永生起誓:;萬口必向我承認。It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”
12這樣看來,我們各人必要將自己的事在 神面前。So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13所以,我們不可再彼此論斷,寧可定意誰也不給弟兄放下。Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
14我憑著主耶穌確知深信,凡物本來沒有不潔淨的;惟獨人以為不潔淨的,在他就不潔淨了。I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15你若因食物叫弟兄憂愁,就不是按著愛人的道理行。基督已經替他死,你不可因你的食物叫他。If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.
16不可叫你的善被人毀謗;Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
17因為 神的國不在乎吃喝,只在乎公義、和平,並聖靈中的喜樂。For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18在這幾樣上服事基督的,就為 神所喜悅,又為人所稱許。For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19所以,我們務要追求和睦的事與彼此的事。So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20不可因食物毀壞 神的工程。凡物固然潔淨,但有人因食物叫人跌倒,就是他的罪了。Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.
21無論是吃肉是喝酒,是甚麼別的事,叫弟兄跌倒,一概不做才好。It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.
22你有信心,就當在 神面前守著。人在自己以為可行的事上能不自責,就有福了。Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
23若有而吃的,就必有罪,因為他吃不是出於信心。凡不出於信心的都是罪。But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
