Romans 14 is the fourteenth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

The KJV has 23 verses in chapter 14 and 33 verses in chapter 15 of Romans. Most translations follow KJV (based on Textus Receptus) versification and have Romans 16:25–27 and Romans 14:24–26 do not exist. The WEB bible, however, moves Romans 16:25–27 (end of chapter verses) to Romans 14:24–26 (also end of chapter verses).

Another perspective sees Romans 1:26 as a blanket condemnation of unnatural heterosexual activity enduring to the present day, such as anal sex, [44] whereas Romans 1:27 is a blanket condemnation of male homosexual activity enduring to the present day.

A connection between 'law' and 'sin' was stated in the earlier parts of the epistle (Romans 3:20, 4:15, 5:13, and 5:20), but because this is regarded "surprising and controversial" for most readers, Paul elaborates more in chapter 6 and 7, especially in verses 5–12 where the law itself is said to be a cause of sin.
