Romans 14:23
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
KJV
ὁ δὲ διακρινόμενος ἐὰν φάγῃ κατακέκριται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως· πᾶν δὲ ὃ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως ἁμαρτία ἐστίν.
Greek NT
Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est : quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
Vulgate
But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
ASV
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
