Romans 14:3-13

New International Version

³ The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt^(A) the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge^(B) the one who does, for God has accepted them. ⁴ Who are you to judge someone else’s servant?^(C) To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

⁵ One person considers one day more sacred than another;^(D) another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. ⁶ Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God;^(E) and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. ⁷ For none of us lives for ourselves alone,^(F) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. ⁸ If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.^{(G) 9} For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life^(H) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.^(I)

¹⁰ You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister^[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?^(J) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.^{(K) 11} It is written:

¹² So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.^(N)

¹³ Therefore let us stop passing judgment^(O) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.^(P)
