Romans 14 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Principles of Conscience

Rom 14:1Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

Rom 14:2One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

Rom 14:3Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

Rom 14:4

Rom 14:4Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

Rom 14:5

Rom 14:5This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

Rom 14:6

Rom 14:6He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

Rom 14:7

Rom 14:7For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself.

Rom 14:8

Rom 14:8As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

Rom 14:9

Rom 14:9And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

Rom 14:10

Rom 14:10But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge.

Rom 14:11

Rom 14:11For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

Rom 14:12

Rom 14:12So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

Rom 14:13

Rom 14:13Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

Rom 14:14

Rom 14:14I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

Rom 14:15

Rom 14:15And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

Rom 14:16

Rom 14:16Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

Rom 14:17

Rom 14:17For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Rom 14:18

Rom 14:18And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

Rom 14:19

Rom 14:19So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.

Rom 14:20

Rom 14:20Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

Rom 14:21

Rom 14:21It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

Rom 14:22

Rom 14:22The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.

Rom 14:23

Rom 14:23But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
