10. But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah.
11. For it is written,“‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow.Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12. So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13. Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
14. I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15. Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
16. Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17. for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18. For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19. So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20. Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
21. It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
