Romans 14:10-20

Romans 14:10-20 CSB

But you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.  , For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me,   and every tongue will give praise to God.   , So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.  Therefore, let us no longer judge one another.  Instead decide never to put a stumbling block or pitfall in the way of your brother or sister.  I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself.  Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.  For if your brother or sister is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love.  Do not destroy, by what you eat, someone for whom Christ died.  Therefore, do not let your good be slandered,  for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,  but righteousness, peace, and joy  in the Holy Spirit. Whoever serves Christ  in this way is acceptable to God and receives human approval.  So then, let us pursue what promotes peace  and what builds up one another.  Do not tear down God’s work because of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make someone fall by what he eats.

Romans 14:10-20 - But you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.  , For it is written,
As I live, says the Lord,
every knee will bow to me,  
and every tongue will give praise to God.   ,
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. 

Therefore, let us no longer judge one another.  Instead decide never to put a stumbling block or pitfall in the way of your brother or sister.  I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself.  Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.  For if your brother or sister is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love.  Do not destroy, by what you eat, someone for whom Christ died.  Therefore, do not let your good be slandered,  for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,  but righteousness, peace, and joy  in the Holy Spirit. Whoever serves Christ  in this way is acceptable to God and receives human approval. 
So then, let us pursue what promotes peace  and what builds up one another.  Do not tear down God’s work because of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make someone fall by what he eats.
