要接纳信心软弱的弟兄 — 罗马书读经随笔 第14章

罗马书第十四章第1—14节，保罗说我们要接纳信心软弱的弟兄。若信心软弱的弟兄对一些问题持有不同意见，这不要与他争论。比如，有信心的弟兄什么都吃，而软弱的弟兄只吃蔬菜；有的看这日比那日重要，而有的弟兄看日日都一样。我们若活着，是向主而活；若死了，是向主而死，所以我们或活或死总是主的人，不可再因为这些问题彼此论断绊倒弟兄。保罗说，他凭着主耶稣确知深信凡物本来没有不洁净的，但是若一个弟兄认为某个东西不洁净，对于他来说这个东西就不洁净了。但是他已经相信了耶稣的死里复活，耶稣已经救了他了。

 

罗14:1 信心软弱的、你们要接纳、但不要辩论所疑惑的事。

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

罗14:2 有人信百物都可吃．但那软弱的、只吃蔬菜。

One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

罗14:3 吃的人不可轻看不吃的人．不吃的人不可论断吃的人．因为　神已经收纳他了。

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.

罗14:4 你是谁、竟论断别人的仆人呢。他或站住、或跌倒、自有他的主人在．而且他也必要站住．因为主能使他站住。

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.

罗14:5 有人看这日比那日强、有人看日日都是一样．只是各人心里要意见坚定。

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

罗14:6 守日的人、是为主守的．吃的人、是为主吃的、因他感谢　神．不吃的人、是为主不吃的、也感谢　神。

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.

罗14:8 我们若活着、是为主而活．若死了、是为主而死．所以我们或活或死、总是主的人。

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.

罗14:13 所以我们不可再彼此论断．宁可定意谁也不给弟兄放下绊脚跌人之物。

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.

罗14:14 我凭着主耶稣确知深信、凡物本来没有不洁净的．惟独人以为不洁净的、在他就不洁净了。

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.
