9. This is why Christ died and lived: so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10. But why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you look down on your brother or sister? We all will stand in front of the judgment seat of God.
11. Because it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God.
12. So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
13. So stop judging each other. Instead, this is what you should decide: never put a stumbling block or obstacle in the way of your brother or sister.
14. I know and I’m convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is wrong to eat in itself. But if someone thinks something is wrong to eat, it becomes wrong for that person.
15. If your brother or sister is upset by your food, you are no longer walking in love. Don’t let your food destroy someone for whom Christ died.
16. And don’t let something you consider to be good be criticized as wrong.
