“Judge[a] (B)not, that you be not judged. For with what [b]judgment you judge, you will be judged; (C)and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For (A)we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [a]Christ. 11 For it is written:

(B)As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”

12 So then (C)each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another [b]anymore, but rather resolve this, (D)not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

The Law of Love

14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus (E)that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. (F)Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 (G)Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

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) 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.(L)
