Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Romans 14:10-16

10Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11It is written:
“As surely as I live,
says the Lord,
every knee will bow before Me;
every tongue will confess to God.”
12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
14I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.
16Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
— Romans 14:10-16
