Romans 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas.	1 Τον δε ασθενουντα κατα την πιστιν προσδεχεσθε, ουχι εις φιλονεικιας διαλογισμων.
2 For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants.	2 Αλλος μεν πιστευει οτι δυναται να τρωγη παντα, ο δε ασθενων τρωγει λαχανα.
3 He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him.	3 Ο τρωγων ας μη καταφρονη τον μη τρωγοντα, και ο μη τρωγων ας μη κρινη τον τρωγοντα? διοτι ο Θεος προσεδεχθη αυτον.
4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? He stands or falls by his own Lord. But he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.	4 Συ τις εισαι οστις κρινεις ξενον δουλον; εις τον ιδιον αυτου κυριον ισταται η πιπτει? θελει ομως σταθη, διοτι ο Θεος ειναι δυνατος να στηση αυτον.
5 For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind.	5 Αλλος μεν κρινει μιαν ημεραν αγιωτεραν παρα αλλην ημεραν, αλλος δε κρινει ισην πασαν ημεραν. Ας ηναι εκαστος πεπληροφορημενος εις τον ιδιον αυτου νουν.
6 He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.	6 Ο παρατηρων την ημεραν παρατηρει αυτην δια τον Κυριον, και ο μη παρατηρων την ημεραν δια τον Κυριον δεν παρατηρει αυτην. Ο τρωγων δια τον Κυριον τρωγει? διοτι ευχαριστει εις τον Θεον. Και ο μη τρωγων δια τον Κυριον δεν τρωγει, και ευχαριστει εις τον Θεον.
7 For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.	7 Διοτι ουδεις εξ ημων ζη δι' εαυτον και ουδεις αποθνησκει δι' εαυτον.
8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.	8 Επειδη εαν τε ζωμεν, δια τον Κυριον ζωμεν? εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν, δια τον Κυριον αποθνησκομεν. Εαν τε λοιπον ζωμεν, εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν, του Κυριου ειμεθα.
9 For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.	9 Επειδη δια τουτο ο Χριστος και απεθανε και ανεστη και ανεζησε, δια να ηναι Κυριος και νεκρων και ζωντων.
10 So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.	10 Συ δε δια τι κρινεις τον αδελφον σου; η και συ δια τι εξουθενεις τον αδελφον σου; επειδη παντες ημεις θελομεν παρασταθη εις το βημα του Χριστου.
11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”	11 Διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος, οτι εις εμε θελει καμψει παν γονυ, και πασα γλωσσα θελει δοξολογησει τον Θεον.
12 And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.	12 Αρα λοιπον εκαστος ημων περι εαυτου θελει δωσει λογον εις τον Θεον.
13 Therefore, we should no longer judge one another. Instead, judge this to a greater extent: that you should not place an obstacle before your brother, nor lead him astray.	13 Λοιπον ας μη κρινωμεν πλεον αλληλους, αλλα τουτο κρινατε μαλλον, το να μη βαλλητε προσκομμα εις τον αδελφον η σκανδαλον.
14 I know, with confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But to him who considers anything to be unclean, it is unclean to him.	14 Εξευρω και ειμαι πεπεισμενος εν Κυριω Ιησου οτι ουδεν υπαρχει ακαθαρτον αφ' εαυτου ειμη εις τον οστις στοχαζεται τι οτι ειναι ακαθαρτον, εις εκεινον ειναι ακαθαρτον.
15 For if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are not now walking according to love. Do not allow your food to destroy him for whom Christ died.	15 Εαν ομως ο αδελφος σου λυπηται δια φαγητον, δεν περιπατεις πλεον κατα αγαπην? μη φερε εις απωλειαν με το φαγητον σου εκεινον, υπερ του οποιου ο Χριστος απεθανεν.
16 Therefore, what is good for us should not be a cause of blasphemy.	16 Ας μη βλασφημηται λοιπον το αγαθον σας.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but rather justice and peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit.	17 Διοτι η βασιλεια του Θεου δεν ειναι βρωσις και ποσις, αλλα δικαιοσυνη και ειρηνη και χαρα εν Πνευματι Αγιω?
18 For he who serves Christ in this, pleases God and is proven before men.	18 επειδη ο δουλευων εν τουτοις τον Χριστον ευαρεστει εις τον Θεον και ευδοκιμει παρα τοις ανθρωποις.
19 And so, let us pursue the things that are of peace, and let us keep to the things that are for the edification of one another.	19 Αρα λοιπον ας ζητωμεν τα προς την ειρηνην και τα προς την οικοδομην αλληλων.
20 Do not be willing to destroy the work of God because of food. Certainly, all things are clean. But there is harm for a man who offends by eating.	20 Μη καταστρεφε το εργον του Θεου δια φαγητον. Παντα μεν ειναι καθαρα, κακον ομως ειναι εις τον ανθρωπον οστις τρωγει με σκανδαλον.
21 It is good to refrain from eating meat and from drinking wine, and from anything by which your brother is offended, or led astray, or weakened.	21 Καλον ειναι το να μη φαγης κρεας μηδε να πιης οινον μηδε να πραξης τι, εις το οποιον ο αδελφος σου προσκοπτει η σκανδαλιζεται η ασθενει.
22 Do you have faith? It belongs to you, so hold it before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in that by which he is tested.	22 Συ πιστιν εχεις; εχε αυτην εντος σου ενωπιον του Θεου? μακαριος οστις δεν κατακρινει εαυτον εις εκεινο, το οποιον αποδεχεται.
23 But he who discerns, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.	23 Οστις ομως αμφιβαλλει, κατακρινεται, εαν φαγη, διοτι δεν τρωγει εκ πιστεως? και παν ο, τι δεν γινεται εκ πιστεως, ειναι αμαρτια.
