¹不可论断弟兄或轻看弟兄

¹And him who is weak in the faith receive ye — not to determinations of reasonings;

²有人相信所有的食物都可以吃，信心软弱的人却只吃蔬菜。

²one doth believe that he may eat all things — and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

³吃的人不要轻看不吃的人，不吃的人也不要批评吃的人，因为　神已经接纳他了。

³let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

⁴你是谁，竟然批评别人的家仆呢？他或站稳或跌倒，只和自己的主人有关；但他必定站稳，因为主能够使他站稳。

⁴Thou — who art thou that art judging another`s domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

⁵有人认为这日比那日好，也有人认为日日都是一样；只要各人自己心意坚定就可以了。

⁵One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

⁶守日的人是为主守的，吃的人是为主吃的，因为他感谢　神；不吃的人是为主不吃，他也感谢　神。

⁶He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

⁷我们没有一个人为自己活，也没有一个人为自己死。我们若活着，是为主而活；

⁷For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

⁸我们若死了，是为主而死。所以，我们无论活着或是死了，总是属于主的人。

⁸for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord`s;

⁹为了这缘故，基督死了，又活过来，就是要作死人和活人的主。

⁹for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

¹⁰这样，你为什么批评你的弟兄呢？为什么又轻看你的弟兄呢？我们都要站在　神的审判台前；

¹⁰And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

¹¹因为经上记着：“主说，我指着我的永生起誓：万膝必向我跪拜，万口必称颂　神。”

¹¹for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;`

¹²这样看来，我们各人都要把自己的事向　神交代。

¹²so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

¹³不可使弟兄跌倒所以，我们不要再彼此批评了；倒要立定主意，决不作绊倒弟兄或使他跌倒的事。

¹³no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

¹⁴我知道，并且在主耶稣里深信，没有一样东西的本身是不洁的，但如果有人认为是不洁的，对他来说那东西就成为不洁了。

¹⁴I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean — to that one [it is] unclean;

¹⁵如果你为了食物使你的弟兄忧愁，你就不再是凭着爱心行事了。你不可因着你的食物，使基督已经替他死了的人灭亡。

¹⁵and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

¹⁶所以，不可使你们看为好的被人毁谤；

¹⁶Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

¹⁷因为　神的国不在于吃喝，而在于公义、和睦，以及圣灵里的喜乐。

¹⁷for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

¹⁸这样服事基督的人，必蒙　神喜悦，又得众人嘉许。

¹⁸for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

¹⁹所以，我们总要追求和睦的事，与彼此造就的事。

¹⁹So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

²⁰不可因食物的缘故拆毁　神的工作。一切都是洁净的，但人若因食物绊倒弟兄，对他来说，这就是恶事了。

²⁰for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.

²¹无论是吃肉，是喝酒，或是什么使你的弟兄跌倒的事，一律不要作才好。

²¹Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

²²你所信的，你自己要在　神面前持守。人在经自己考验后认可的事上能够不自责，他就有福了。

²²Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

²³但如果有人存着疑惑的心去吃，他就被定罪了，因为他不是出于信心。凡不是出于信心的，都是罪。

²³and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
