Romans 14:10-23
10But you, whyG5101 do you judgeG2919 your brotherG80? OrG2228 you againG2532, whyG5101 do you 1regardG1848 your brotherG80 with contemptG1848? For 2we will allG3956 standG3936 beforeG3936 the judgmentG968 seatG968 of GodG2316. 11For it is writtenG1125, “3As I liveG2198, saysG3004 the LordG2962, 4everyG3956 kneeG1119 shall bowG2578 to Me, And everyG3956 tongueG1100 shall 5giveG1843 praiseG1843 to GodG2316.” 12SoG686 thenG686 6eachG1538 oneG1538 of us will giveG1325 an accountG3056 of himselfG1438 to GodG2316.
13ThereforeG3767 let us not 7judgeG2919 oneG240 anotherG240 anymoreG3371, but ratherG3123 determineG2919 thisG3778--8not to putG5087 an obstacleG4348 orG2228 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 in a brother’sG80 way. 14I knowG3609 and am convincedG3982 9in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 that 10nothingG3762 is uncleanG2839 in itselfG1438; but to him who 11thinksG3049 anythingG5100 to be uncleanG2839, to him it is uncleanG2839. 15For ifG1487 becauseG1223 of foodG1033 your brotherG80 is hurtG3076, you are noG3765 longerG3765 12walkingG4043 accordingG2596 to loveG26. 13Do not destroyG622 with your foodG1033 him for whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599. 16ThereforeG3767 14do not let whatG18 is for you a goodG18 thingG18 be 15spokenG987 of as evilG987; 17for the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 16is not eatingG1035 and drinkingG4213, but righteousnessG1343 and 17peaceG1515 and 18joyG5479 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 18For he who in thisG3778 way 19servesG1398 ChristG5547 is 20acceptableG2101 to GodG2316 and approvedG1384 by menG444. 19SoG686 thenG686 21we 22pursueG1377 the things which make for peaceG1515 and the 23buildingG3619 up of oneG240 anotherG240. 2024Do not tearG2647 downG2647 the workG2041 of GodG2316 for the sakeG1752 of foodG1033. 25AllG3956 thingsG3956 indeedG3303 are cleanG2513, but 26they are evilG2556 for the manG444 who eatsG2068 27and givesG1223 offenseG4348. 2128It is goodG2570 not to eatG2068 meatG2907 orG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, orG3366 to do anything by whichG3739 your brotherG80 stumblesG4350. 22The faithG4102 whichG3739 you haveG2192, haveG2192 29as your ownG4572 convictionG4572 beforeG1799 GodG2316. HappyG3107 is he who 30does not condemnG2919 himselfG1438 in whatG3739 he approvesG1381. 23But 31he who doubtsG1252 is condemnedG2632 ifG1437 he eatsG2068, becauseG3754 his eating is not from faithG4102; and whateverG3956G3739 is not from faithG4102 is sinG266.
