¹³ Therefore let us not judge one another ^[a]anymore, but rather resolve this, ^(A)not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

^3 (A)We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

Do Not Judge a Brother

^11 (A)Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother ^(B)and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

⁹ But ^(A)beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become ^(B)a ^[a]stumbling block to those who are weak. ¹⁰ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not ^(C)the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? ¹¹ And ^(D)because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? ¹² But ^(E)when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Therefore, ^(F)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

Make Peace with Your Adversary

⁵⁷ “Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?

Do Not Judge^(A)

7 “Judge^{[a] (B)}not, that you be not judged.

Healing for the Backslider

Avoid Divisive Persons

¹⁷ Now I urge you, brethren, note those ^(A)who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and ^(B)avoid them.

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.
