Romans 14
Maori Bible
14 Ko te tangata he ngoikore te whakapono, manakohia, kauaka ia ki nga tautohe whakaaro.
2 Ko tetahi hoki e whakapono ana he pai nga mea katoa hei kai mana: ko te tangata ia he ngoikore tona whakapono e kai otaota ana.
3 Kaua te tangata e kai ana e whakahawea ki te tangata kahore e kai, kaua hoki te tangata kahore e kai e whakahe i te tangata e kai ana: kua manakohia hoki ia e te Atua.
4 Ko wai koe e whakahe na i te pononga a tera? ma tona rangatira ia e whakatu, e whakahinga ranei. Ina, ka whakaturia ano ia: e taea hoki ia e te Atua te whakatu.
5 Ki te whakaaro a tetahi, nui atu tetahi ra i tetahi: ki a tetahi whakaaro ia he rite katoa nga ra. Kia u marire nga whakaaro o tetahi, o tetahi.
6 Ko te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te ra, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tona whakaaro; ko te tangata e kai ana, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tana kai, e whakawhetai atu ana hoki ia ki te Atua; ko te tangata kahore e kai, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tana kore e kai, e whakawhetai ana ano ia ki te Atua.
7 Ehara hoki i te mea ki a ia ake ano te ora o tetahi o tatou, ehara hoki i te mea ki a ia ake te mate o tetahi.
8 Ta te mea, ahakoa ora, e ora ana tatou ki te Ariki; ahakoa mate, e mate ana tatou ki te Ariki: na, ahakoa ora tatou, mate ranei, na te Ariki tatou.
9 Ko te mea hoki tenei i mate ai a te Karaiti, i ara ake ai ano, i ora ai ano, kia waiho ai ia hei Ariki ngatahi mo te hunga mate, mo te hunga ora.
10 Ko koe na, he aha koe i whakahe ai i tou teina? me koe na hoki, he aha koe i whakahawea ai ki tou teina? e tu katoa hoki tatou ki te nohoanga whakawa o te Atua.
11 Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, e piko katoa nga turi ki ahau, e whakaae ano hoki nga arero katoa ki te Atua.
12 Ae ra, ka korerotia e tenei, e tenei o tatou te tikanga o ana mahi ki te Atua.
13 Na, kati ta tatou whakahe tetahi i tetahi: engari ko tenei kia rite i a koutou, kia kaua e whakatakotoria he tutukitanga waewae, he take whakahinga ranei mo tona teina.
14 E mohio ana ahau, u tonu toku whakaaro i roto i te Ariki, i a Ihu, kahore he mea nona ake ano tona noa: haunga ia ki te mea tetahi he noa tetahi mea, e noa ano ki a ia.
15 Ki te mea hoki na te kai i pouri ai tou teina, kahore e mau ana tau haere i runga i te aroha. kei mate i tau kai te tangata i mate nei a te Karaiti mona.
16 Na, kei korerotia kinotia to koutou pai:
17 Ehara hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kai, i te inu; engari he tika, he rangimarie, he hari i roto i te Wairua Tapu.
18 Ko te tangata hoki ko enei hei mahinga mana ki a te Karaiti, ka ahuarekatia ia e te Atua, ka paingia hoki e nga tangata.
19 Na, kia whai tatou i nga mea e mau ai te rongo, i nga mea ano hoki e hanga ai te pai o tetahi, o tetahi.
20 Kaua e waiho te kai hei whakahoro mo ta te Atua mahi. He ma hoki nga mea katoa; otiia he kino ki te tangata e kai ana me te whakahe tona ngakau.
21 He mea pai tonu kia kaua e kai kikokiko, kia kaua e inu waina, aha ranei e tutuki ai tou teina.
22 Ko te whakapono i a koe na, waiho i a koe ano i te aroaro o te Atua. Ka hari te tangata kahore e whakatau i te he ki a ia ano mo te mea i whakapaia e ia mana.
23 Ki te ruarua ia tetahi, ka tau te he ki a ia ki te kai ia: no te mea ehara i te kai whakapono: he hara hoki nga mea katoa kihai nei i puta ake i te whakapono.

The Weak and the Strong
14 Accept the one whose faith is weak,(A) without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.(B) 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt(C) the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge(D) the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant?(E) To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another;(F) another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God;(G) and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone,(H) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(I) 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(J) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(K)
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?(L) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.(M) 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’(N) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b](O)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(P)
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment(Q) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.(R) 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself.(S) But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.(T) 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.(U) Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.(V) 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.(W) 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,(X) but of righteousness, peace(Y) and joy in the Holy Spirit,(Z) 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.(AA)
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace(AB) and to mutual edification.(AC) 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food.(AD) All food is clean,(AE) but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.(AF) 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.(AG)
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn(AH) himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts(AI) is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.[c]
