WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Receive anyone who is weak in faith, without giving judgment about arguments.
1 RECIBID al flaco en la fe, [pero] no para contiendas de disputas.
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2 One person has faith to eat anything, another who is weak eats only vegetables.
2 Porque uno cree que se ha de comer de todas cosas: otro que es débil, come legumbres.
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 May the one who eats everything not despise the one who does not; and may the one who does not eat everything not judge the other who eats everything. For God has accepted him.
3 El que come, no menosprecie al que no come: y el que no come, no juzgue al que come; porque Dios le ha levantado.
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 Who are you, you who judge a servant belonging to someone else? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. But he will be made to stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
4 ¿Tú quién eres que juzgas al siervo ajeno? para su señor está en pie, ó cae: mas se afirmará; que poderoso es el Señor para afirmarle.
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 One person values one day above another. Another values every day equally. Let each person be convinced in his own mind.
5 Uno hace diferencia entre día y día; otro juzga [iguales] todos los días. Cada uno esté asegurado en su ánimo.
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 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.
6 El que hace caso del día, háce[lo] para el Señor: y el que no hace caso del día, no lo hace para el Señor. El que come, come para el Señor, porque da gracias á Dios; y el que no come, no come para el Señor, y da gracias á 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 For none of us lives for himself, and none dies for himself.
7 Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para sí, y ninguno muere para sí.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to 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.
8 Que si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos; y si morimos, para el Señor morimos. Así que, ó que vivamos, ó que muramos, del Señor somos.
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 purpose Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and those who are living.
9 Porque Cristo para esto murió, y resucitó, y volvió á vivir, para ser Señor así de los muertos como de los que viven.
9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? And you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
10 Mas tú ¿por qué juzgas á tu hermano? ó tú también, ¿por qué menosprecias á tu hermano? porque todos hemos de estar ante el tribunal de Cristo.
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 For it is written, “As I live,” says the Lord, “to me every knee will bend, and every tongue will give praise to God.”
11 Porque escrito está: Vivo yo, dice el Señor, que á mí se doblará toda rodilla, y toda lengua confesará á 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 So then, each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
12 De manera que, cada uno de nosotros dará á Dios razón de sí.
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 Therefore, let us no longer judge one another, but instead decide this, that no one will place a stumbling block or a snare for his brother.
13 Así que, no juzguemos más los unos de los otros: antes bien juzgad de no poner tropiezo ó escándalo 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 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by itself. Only for him who considers anything to be unclean, for him it is unclean.
14 Yo sé, y confío en el Señor Jesús, que de suyo nada hay inmundo: mas á aquel que piensa alguna cosa ser inmunda, para él es inmunda.
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 If because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food one for whom Christ died.
15 Empero si por causa de la comida tu hermano es contristado, ya no andas conforme á la caridad. No arruines con tu comida á aquél por el cual 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 So do not allow what you consider to be good to be spoken of as evil.
16 No sea pues blasfemado vuestro bien:
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 For the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
17 Que el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida, sino justicia y paz y gozo por el Espíritu Santo.
17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by people.
18 Porque el que en esto sirve á Cristo, agrada á Dios, y es acepto á los hombres.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 So then, let us pursue the things of peace and the things that build up one another.
19 Así que, sigamos lo que hace á la paz, y á la edificación de los unos á los otros.
19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20 Do not destroy the work of God because of food. All things are indeed clean, but it is evil for that person who eats and causes him to stumble.
20 No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de la comida. Todas las cosas á la verdad son limpias: mas malo es al hombre que come con escándalo.
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 It is good not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother takes offense.
21 Bueno es no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni [nada] en que tu hermano tropiece, ó se ofenda, ó sea debilitado.
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 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
22 ¿Tienes tú fe? Tenla para contigo delante de Dios. Bienaventurado el que no se condena á sí mismo con 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 He who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faith. And whatever is not from faith is sin.
23 Mas el que hace diferencia, si comiere, es condenado, porque no [comió] por fe: y todo lo que no es de 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?
