Rom 14
Dead or Alive, our liberty is for the Lord
1 Accept those who are weak. However, Faith is not into judging through/estimating thoughts (not judgmental),
2 some who indeed have faith to eat all things but those who weak, could eat vegetables.
3 those who eat, should not despise those who are not eating; moreover, those who are not eating, should not judge/decide for those who are eating: for God is the One to accept them.
4 who are you, to judge fellow resident of another person? Being stedfast or falling down is to his own lord. However, stand firm to be efficient, because standing firm is to their Lord.
5 there are those who indeed, judge/decide on a day, besides another person who has also decided on all days. It is as each person is fully-informed/persuaded in his own mind.
6 those who exercise mind on a day, exercise mind on it for the Lord; + and those who do not exercise mind on a day, do not exercise mind on it for the Lord + those eating, eat for the Lord, for, they express gratitude to God; and those who are not eating, do not eat for the Lord, but they are grateful to God.
7 for, none of us lives on his own and no one dies on his own.
8 because, in case we are living, we live for the Lord; and in case we die, we will die for the Lord. Therefore, in case we live, and even, in case, we die, it is for the Lord.
9 for, Christ died and live on unto this thing, at least to have dominion over the dead and the living.
There is Judgment seat
10 So, why are you judging your brother, or why are you even despising your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
11 for, it is written, as I live, says the Supreme Lord for, all the knees will bend to ME, and all languages (tongues) will acknowledge God. (Is 45:23).
12 therefore, Ara (a heartfelt sigh lifted to heaven), each of us will give account about himself to God.
13 Therefore, you are not to judge one another any longer; but, rather judge this, that you never place/set a stumbling block or a snare (scandal) for a brother.
The kingdom is about Justification, Peace with God and Joy in the Holy SPIRIT
14 I am aware and persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by itself, except through those who reckon (count) anything unclean, to them, it will be unclean.
15 for, if because of broma (forbidden or allowed food), your brother is distressed, you are no longer walking according to selfless-love. This one, for whom Christ died, should not perish by your broma-food;
16 and then, your good (idea), will not be blasphemed.
17 No doubt, the Kingdom of God is not of eating and drinking, but for JUSTIFICATION, and PEACE (being set at one again with God), and JOY in the Holy SPIRIT.
18 for, those who are serving Christ in these things are acceptable to God, and approved by men.
19 therefore, Ara (a heartfelt desire lifted to heaven), pursue things of Peace and things unto full structure/edification of one another.
20 Never, on account of broma-food (forbidden or allowed), should the work of God be demolished. All things are clean indeed, but, it is worthless for a man, to be a stumbling block, through eating.
21 it is a virtuous thing never to eat butchered-meat, nor drink wine, not even things by which your brother will stumble or be entrapped or be weak.
22 You, who have Faith, hold on to it according to yourself before God. Supremely blessed are those who will not be judging themselves in what they attempt/try.
23 however, those who will be thoroughly dissecting/doubting, in case they eat, will be condemned. Because, it is not from faith; however, all things which are not from Faith, are of sin.
