¹Võtke vastu ka usus nõder ja ärge vaielge arvamuste üle!

¹Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

²Mõni usub, et ta võib süüa kõike, aga kes on nõder, sööb ainult taimetoitu.

²One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

³Kes sööb kõike, ärgu pangu halvaks seda, kes ei söö, ja kes ei söö, ärgu mõistku kohut selle üle, kes sööb, sest Jumal on tema vastu võtnud.

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.

⁴Kes oled sina, et sa mõistad kohut võõra sulase üle? Oma isanda ees ta seisab või langeb. Aga ta jääb seisma, sest Issand suudab teda püsti hoida.

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.

⁵Mõni jälle hindab ühte päeva muudest paremaks, ent teine hindab kõiki päevi ühesuguseks. Igaüks olgu oma mõtlemises kindel!

⁵One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

⁶Kes arvestab teatavat päeva, arvestab seda Issandale; kes sööb, sööb Issandale, sest ta tänab Jumalat, ja kes ei söö, jätab söömata Issandale ja tänab Jumalat.

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.

⁷Keegi meist ei ela ju iseenesele ja keegi ei sure iseenesele,

⁷For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

⁸sest kui me elame, siis elame Issandale, ja kui me sureme, siis sureme Issandale. Kas me nüüd elame või sureme - me oleme Issanda päralt.

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.

⁹Selleks on ju Kristus surnud ja saanud jälle elavaks, et ta oleks nii surnute kui elavate Issand.

⁹For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

¹⁰Sina aga, miks sa mõistad kohut oma venna üle? Või sina, miks sa paned oma venda halvaks? Kõik me ju astume Jumala kohtujärje ette,

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.

¹¹nagu on kirjutatud: 'Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb Issand, minu ees nõtkub iga põlv ja iga keel annab tunnustust Jumalale.'

¹¹For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’” Isaiah 45:23

¹²Nõnda peab siis igaüks meist enda kohta Jumalale aru andma.

¹²So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

¹³Ärgem siis enam mõistkem kohut üksteise üle, vaid pigem võtkem kohustuseks mitte saada vennale komistuseks või kiusatuseks!

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.

¹⁴Ma tean ja olen veendunud Issandas Jeesuses, et miski pole ebapuhas iseenesest, vaid on keelatud üksnes sellele, kes arvab midagi keelatu olevat - sellele on see keelatud.

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.

¹⁵Aga kui su vend saab toidu pärast kurvaks, siis sa ei käi enam armastuse järgi. Ära saada hukka oma toiduga seda, kelle eest Kristus on surnud!

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.

¹⁶Ja ärgu olgu teotatav see, mis teie jaoks on hea.

¹⁶Then don’t let your good be slandered,

¹⁷Jumala riik ei ole ju söömine ega joomine, vaid õigus ja rahu ja rõõm Pühas Vaimus.

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

¹⁸Sest kes sel kombel teenib Kristust, see on Jumalale meelepärane ja tunnustatud inimeste poolt.

¹⁸For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

¹⁹Niisiis, taotlegem seda, mida on vaja rahuks ja üksteise ülesehitamiseks!

¹⁹So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

²⁰Ära kisu toidu pärast maha Jumala teost! Kõik on küll puhas, kuid häda inimesele, kes sööb teisele komistuseks!

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.

²¹Hea on liha mitte süüa ja veini mitte juua ja mitte teha seda, mis on su vennale komistuseks.

²¹It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

²²Usku, mis sul on, pea iseenese jaoks Jumala ees. Õnnis on see, kes enda üle kohut ei mõista selles, mis ta leiab õige olevat.

²²Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.

²³Kui aga keegi sööb kõheldes, siis on ta süüdi mõistetud, sest see ei tule ta usust. Aga kõik, mis ei tule usust, on patt.

²³But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

²⁴Now 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,

²⁵but 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;

²⁶to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen. TR places verses 24-26 after Romans 16:24 as verses 25-27.
