ROMANS 14:10-20

¹⁰But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

¹¹For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

¹²So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

¹³Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling.

¹⁴I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

¹⁵For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

¹⁶Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

¹⁷for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

¹⁹So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

²⁰Overthrow 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.
