Romans 14:5-9 in English

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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

⁵ Some people regard certain days as holy and think that the other days are not holy. Other people regard all days as equally suitable for worshipping God. Each person should be fully convinced about such matters, thinking and deciding for himself and not for others.

⁶ As for those who believe that they should worship on a certain day of the week, it is to honor the Lord that they worship on that day. And as for those who think that it is all right to eat all kinds of food, it is to honor the Lord that they eat those foods, as is clear from their thanking God for the food that they eat. As for those who abstain from eating certain kinds of food, it is to honor the Lord that they do not eat those foods, and they also thank God for the food that they do eat. So doing either of those things is not wrong in itself.

⁷ None of us should live merely to please ourselves, and none of us should choose when or how we will die, merely to please ourselves.

⁸ While we live, it is the Lord whom we belong to and should be trying to please, and not just ourselves. And when we die, it is the Lord whom we should be trying to please. So, while we live and also when we die, we should be trying to please the Lord to whom we belong, not just ourselves,

⁹ because the very purpose for which Christ died and became alive again is that he might be Lord whom all people should try to please, both of those who have already died and of those who are still living.

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ As 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.

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

⁵ One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

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

⁸ For both if we should live, it is to the Lord we live; and if we should die, it is to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.

⁹ For to this end Christ has died and lived again, that he might rule over both dead and living.

⁵ For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

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

⁵ One indeed judges one day above another; but another judges every day the same. Let each be fully assured in his own mind.

⁶ He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.

⁷ For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

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

⁵ One man esteems one day above another; another esteems everyday alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

⁶ He 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. And he who eats, eats to the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, also giving thanks to God.

⁷ You see, none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

⁸ Because if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

⁹ For this very reason Christ both died and rose, and lived, so as to rule both dead and living.

⁵ Some people consider some days more important than others, while others consider each day the same. Everyone should be completely convinced in their own minds.

⁶ Those who respect a special day do so for the Lord; and those who eat without worrying do so for the Lord since they give thanks to God; while those who avoid eating certain things do so for the Lord, and they also give thanks to God.

⁷ None of us live for ourselves, or die for ourselves.

⁸ If we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord—so whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

⁹ This was the reason Christ died and came back to life—so that he could be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

⁵ This man esteemeth one day aboue another day, and another man counteth euery day alike: let euery man be fully perswaded in his minde.

⁶ He that obserueth the day, obserueth it to the Lord: and he that obserueth not the day, obserueth it not to the Lord. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giueth God thankes: and he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and giueth God thankes.

⁷ For none of vs liueth to himselfe, neither doeth any die to himselfe.

⁸ For whether wee liue, we liue vnto the Lord: or whether we die, we die vnto the Lord: whether we liue therefore, or die, we are the Lords.

⁹ For Christ therefore died and rose againe, and reuiued, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quicke.

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

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

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike: let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord;

⁶ and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that doth not eat, to the Lord he doth not eat, and giveth thanks to God.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.

⁸ For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Whether then we live or die, we are the Lord's.

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

⁵ Again, one person considers some days to be more sacred than others, while another considers all days to be alike. Everyone ought to be fully convinced in their own mind.

⁶ The person who observes a day, observes it to the Master's honour. They, again, who eat meat eat it to the Master's honour, for they give thanks to God; while the person who abstains from it abstains from it to the Master's honour, and also gives thanks to God.

⁷ There is not one of us whose life concerns ourselves alone, and not one of us whose death concerns ourself alone;

⁸ for, if we live, our life is for the Master, and, if we die, our death is for the Master. Whether, then, we live or die we belong to the Master.

⁹ The purpose for which Christ died and came back to life was this — that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.

⁵ Again, one person considers some days to be more sacred than others, while another considers all days to be alike. Everyone ought to be fully convinced in their own mind.

⁶ The person who observes a day, observes it to the Master's honor. They, again, who eat meat eat it to the Master's honor, for they give thanks to God; while the person who abstains from it abstains from it to the Master's honor, and also gives thanks to God.

⁷ There is not one of us whose life concerns ourselves alone, and not one of us whose death concerns ourself alone;

⁸ for, if we live, our life is for the Master, and, if we die, our death is for the Master. Whether, then, we live or die we belong to the Master.

⁹ The purpose for which Christ died and came back to life was this — that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.

⁵ Here is another thing. Some people think like this, “Some days are special for God and the rest are not.” Other people think, “Each day is the same as every other day.” Each of us has to make up his own mind about this.

⁶ Those that make one day special do so to give respect to God on that day. And those that eat all kinds of food do so to give respect to God. They say thank you to God for that food. And in the same way those that don’t eat some sorts of food do so to give respect to God. They say thank you to God too.

⁷ None of us is his own boss. We belong to God and he is our good boss all the time that we are alive, and he is still our good boss after we die.

⁹ Remember that Jesus died and then became alive again. So now he is the good boss of people that are alive and also the boss of people that are dead.

⁵ This man putteth difference bitwene daye and daye. Another man counteth all dayes alyke. Se that no man waver in his awne meanynge.

⁶ He that observeth one daye more then another doth it for the lordes pleasure. And he that observeth not one daye moare then another doeth it to please the lorde also. He that eateth doth it to please the lorde for he geveth god thankes. And he that eateth not eateth not to please the lorde with all and geveth god thankes.

⁷ For none of vs lyveth his awne servaut: nether doeth anye of vs dye his awne servaunt.

⁸ Yf we lyve we lyve to be at the lordes will. And yf we dye we dye at the lordes will. Whether we lyve therfore or dye we are the lordes.

⁹ For Christ therfore dyed and rose agayne and revived that he myght be lorde both of deed and quicke.

⁵ One person values one day above another. Another values every day equally. Let each person be convinced in his own mind.

⁶ He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord; and he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. He who does not eat, refrains from eating for the Lord, he also gives thanks to God.

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

⁸ For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Then whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

⁹ For to this purpose Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and those who are living.

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

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

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

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

⁶ He 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.

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

⁸ For 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.

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

⁵ For why one deemeth a day betwixt a day, another deemeth each day. Each man increase in his wit.

⁶ He that understandeth or savoureth the day, understandeth or savoureth to the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he doeth thankings to God. And he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and doeth thankings to God.

⁷ For no man of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or die, we be of the Lord or we be Lord’s.

⁹ For why for this thing Christ was dead, and rose again, that he be Lord both of quick and of dead men or of quick and of dead.

⁵ For why one deemeth a day betwixt a day, another deemeth each day. Each man increase in his wit (or Each man increase in his understanding, or in his thinking).

⁶ He that understandeth the day, understandeth to the Lord, or He that savoureth the day, savoureth to the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he doeth thankings to God (or for he giveth thanks to God). And he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and doeth thankings to God.

⁷ For no man of us liveth (un)to himself, and no man dieth (un)to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or die, we be of the Lord or we be (the) Lord’s.

⁹ For why for this thing Christ was dead, and rose again, that he be (the) Lord both of quick and of dead men or of quick and of dead. (Because the Messiah died, and rose again for this, so that he be the Lord both of the living and of the dead.)

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

⁶ He 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 For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

⁸ for 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 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.
