10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister [a] ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? (A) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. (B) 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’ (C) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’” [b] (D)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. (E)
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment (F) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. (G) 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. (H) But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. (I) 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. (J) Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. (K)
