1 Reciban al débil en la fe, pero no para enjuiciar sus opiniones.
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2 Uno considera bien comer de todo. Otro que es débil come verduras.
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 El que come no desprecie al que no come, y el que no come no juzgue al que come, porque Dios lo aceptó.
3 Don’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.
4 ¿Quién eres tú para que juzgues al esclavo de otro? Para su amo está firme o cae. Será afirmado, porque el Señor es poderoso para sostenerlo.
4 Who 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.
5 Uno considera diferente un día de otro, pero otro considera iguales todos los días. Cada uno esté plenamente convencido de lo que piensa.
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 El que observa el día, lo tiene en cuenta para el Señor. El que come, come para [el] Señor, porque da gracias a Dios. El que no come, no come para [el] Señor, y da gracias a Dios.
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 Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para él mismo, y ninguno muere para él mismo.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 Si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos. Si morimos, para el Señor morimos. Así que, si vivimos o morimos, somos del Señor.
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 Para esto Cristo murió y volvió a vivir: para que sea Señor de [los] muertos y de los vivos.
9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 ¿Por qué alguno de ustedes juzga a su hermano? O también tú, ¿por qué desprecias a tu hermano? Porque todos compareceremos ante el tribunal de Dios.
10 But 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.
11 Pues está escrito: Yo vivo, dice [el] Señor, que ante Mí se doblará toda rodilla, y toda lengua confesará a Dios.
11 For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12 Así que cada uno de nosotros dará cuenta a Dios.
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 Por tanto ya no nos juzguemos unos a otros, más bien decidan no poner tropiezo u ocasión de caer al hermano.
13 Therefore 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.
14 Sé y me convencí en [el] Señor Jesús de que nada es impuro. Pero es impuro para el que lo considera impuro.
14 I 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.
15 Porque si tu hermano se ofende por lo que comes, ya no procedes según [el] amor. No destruyas con tu comida a aquél por quien Cristo murió.
15 Yet 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.
16 Que no hablen mal de lo bueno de ustedes.
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 Porque el reino de Dios no es comida y bebida, sino justicia, paz y gozo en [el ]Espíritu Santo.
17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 El que en esto es un esclavo de Cristo es aceptable ante Dios y aprobado por los hombres.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 Así que persigamos lo que contribuye a la paz y a la mutua edificación.
19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20 No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de una comida. En verdad todas las cosas son limpias, pero es malo que una persona cause una ofensa por lo que come.
20 Don’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.
21 Bueno es no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni [hacer] algo en lo que tu hermano se ofenda, se debilite o tropiece.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
22 Tú tienes fe. Tenla para ti mismo delante de Dios. Inmensamente feliz el que no se juzga en lo que aprueba.
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
23 Pero el que duda sobre lo que come, se acusa, porque no [comió] por fe. Todo lo que no es por fe es pecado.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
I Am aware that to most what is here said is a difficulty. And therefore I must first give the subject of the whole of this passage, and what he wishes to correct in writing this. What does he wish to correct then?

If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and "we must all appear at the judgment-seat of Christ, and must every one give an account of himself." Let us then serve Him in fear, and with all reverence, even as He Himself …
… hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved." And he renders the reason why the Son of God did these things, saying, "For to this end Christ both lived, and died, and revived, that He might rule over the living and the dead." And again, writing to the Corinthians, he declares, "But we preach Christ Jesus crucified;" and …
This it was, verily, "Him that is weak in the faith, receive ye;" which he applied to himself, and discovered to me.

Because Paul also saith this selfsame thing: or rather, there too it is Christ, speaking by Paul, and saying, "Why dost thou judge thy brother?
