Romans 14:20 | |
NASB: Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Don't ruin God's work because of what you eat. All food is acceptable, but it's wrong for a person to eat something if it causes someone else to have doubts. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. ASV: Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. BBE: Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another. DBY: For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil to that man who eats while stumbling in doing so. WEY: Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others. WBS: For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense. WEB: 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. YLT: for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling. | |
