¹ In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and laid siege against it; ² and the Lord gave into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and a part of the vessels of the house of God, and he brought them into the land of Shinar, into the house of his gods,––and, the vessels, brought he into the treasure–house of his gods. ³ Then did the king give word to Ashpenaz, the chief of his eunuchs,––that he should bring in, of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal, and of the nobles, ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, but comely of countenance, and skilful in all wisdom, and possessed of knowledge, and able to impart instruction, and who had vigour in them, to stand in the palace of the king,––and that they should be taught the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed them the provision of each day upon its day, out of the delicacies of the king and out of the wine which he drank, and so to let them grow three years,––and, at the end thereof, that they should stand before the king. ⁶ Now there were, among them, out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; ⁷ and the ruler of the eunuchs gave them names,––yea he gave to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah of Shadrach, and to Mishael of Meshach, and to Azariah of Abed–nego.
⁸ But Daniel laid it upon his heart, that he would not defile himself with the delicacies of the king, nor with the wine which he drank,––therefore sought he of the ruler of the eunuchs, that he might not defile himself. ⁹ But, although God had brought Daniel into lovingkindness and tender compassion, before the ruler of the eunuchs, ¹⁰ yet said the ruler of the eunuchs unto Daniel, I do fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink,––for why should he see your faces more sad than those of the youths of your own age? so should ye bring me under the penalty of mine own head unto the king. ¹¹ Then said Daniel, unto the overseer whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² I pray thee––prove thy servants, ten days,––and let them give us vegetable food, that we may eat, and water that we may drink: ¹³ then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the youths who have been eating the delicacies of the king,––and, as thou shalt see, deal thou with thy servants. ¹⁴ So then he hearkened unto them, according to this word,––and proved them ten–days; ¹⁵ and, at the end of ten days, their countenances appeared more comely, and fatter in flesh,––than any of the youths who had been eating the delicacies of the king. ¹⁶ Thus it came about that the overseer continued taking away their delicacies, and the wine appointed them to drink,––and kept on giving them vegetable food.
¹⁷ And, as for these four youths, God, gave them, knowledge and skill, in all learning and wisdom,––and, Daniel, had discernment, in all visions and dreams. ¹⁸ Now, at the end of the days after which the king had given word to bring them in, then did the ruler of the eunuchs bring them in, before Nebuchadnezzar. ¹⁹ So then the king, spake with them, and there was not found, from among them all, one like unto Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,––therefore stood they before the king; ²⁰ and, in any matter of wisdom and discernment as to which the king, enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the sacred scribes––the magicians, who were in all his realm. ²¹ Now Daniel continued, until the first year of Cyrus the king.

¹ Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye,––not for disputing opinions:–– ² One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs: ³ Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath received him. ⁴ Who art, thou, that judgest another’s domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand,––for his master is able to make him stand. ⁵ [For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day:––let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded. ⁶ He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it,––and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give God thanks. ⁷ For, none of us, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth; ⁸ For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord’s, we are; or whether we die, the Lord’s, we are; ⁹ For, to this end, Christ died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship. ¹⁰ But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God; ¹¹ For it is written––Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God. ¹² Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God. ¹³ No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather––not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall. ¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus––that, nothing, is profane of itself,––save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane, ¹⁵ If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking:––do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died! ¹⁶ Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing; ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit; ¹⁸ For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men. ¹⁹ Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another: ²⁰ Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat,–– ²¹ Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble. ²² The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth; ²³ But, he that is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself,––because, [it was] not of faith, and, everything which is not of faith, is sin.
