Make Una Welcome Di Person Wey Im Faith Weak
One believer dey chop anytin, anoda one dey chop only vegetable, and each one dey quietly look down on the oda. Paul no gree settle wetin go dey the menu. Each person go answer to im own master and our Papa don accept both, so the real sin na to put stumbling block for where your brother dey waka.
14 1Now, make una accept di person wey im faith weak, but no be say make una dey argue about di things wey e get for im mind. 2One person get faith to chop anything, while di person wey weak dey chop only vegetable. 3Di person wey dey chop no suppose look down on di person wey no dey chop, and di person wey no dey chop no suppose judge di person wey dey chop, because our Papa don accept am. 4You be who to dey judge anoda person servant? Na for im own master face e dey stand or fall; e go stand—because Oga fit make am stand.
5One person dey count one day pass anoda; anoda person dey count every day di same. Make each person mind clear well-well for wetin e believe. 6Di person wey dey keep di day, na for Oga e dey keep am. Di person wey dey chop, na for Oga e dey chop, because e dey thank our Papa; di person wey no dey chop, na for Oga e no dey chop, and e dey thank our Papa. 7Because no one for us dey live for imself, and no one for us dey die for imself. 8If we dey live, na for Oga we dey live; if we die, na for Oga we die. Whether we dey live or we die, na Oga own we be. 9Na for dis reason Christ die come live again: so dat e fit be Oga for both dead people and living people.
10But you—why you dey judge your broda? Or you—why you dey despise your broda? All of us go stand before our Papa im judgment seat.
11Because dem write am: “As I dey live, na so our Papa talk, every knee go bend for me, every tongue go confess to me.”
12So den, each one of us go give account of imself to our Papa.
13So make una stop to dey judge each oda. Instead, make una decide say una no go ever put anything wey go make your broda stumble or fall for im front. 14I know, and I don sure am for Oga Jesus, say nothing dey unclean for imself; but to di person wey think say e unclean, e unclean to am. 15If food dey hurt your broda, you no dey waka for love again. No use your food destroy person wey Christ die for. 16So make una no let di thing wey una count as good become something wey people dey call evil. 17Di kingdom of our Papa no be chopping and drinking, but correct-and-holy way and peace and joy inside the Holy Spirit. a a v17 Paul dey explain di kingdom fresh: no be rulebook about chopping and drinking, but say person dey stand correct, get deep peace, and di joy wey im Spirit dey produce. 18Di person wey dey serve Christ dis way dey please our Papa and people dey approve am. 19So den, make we run after anything wey go bring peace and go build each oda up. 20No destroy our Papa im work because of food. All things clean, but to chop di food wey dey make person stumble na wrong thing. 21Good thing na to no chop meat, no drink wine, or no do anything wey go make your broda stumble.
22Keep your faith between you and our Papa. Blessing dey for di person wey no dey judge imself for di thing wey e approve. 23Di person wey dey doubt, dem don condemn am if e chop, because e no chop from faith; and anything wey no come from faith na sin.
