10 [a]But why dost thou condemn thy brother? or why dost thou despise thy brother? (A)for we shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, [b]I (B)live, saith the Lord, and every knee shall bow to me, and all tongues shall [c]confess unto God.

12 So then everyone of us shall give accounts of himself to God.

Footnotes

  1. Romans 14:10 The conclusion: we must leave to God his right: and therefore in matters, which according as the conscience if affected, are either good or evil, the strong must not despise their weak brethren, much less condemn them. But this consequent cannot be taken of equal force in the contrary, to wit, that the weak should not judge the strong, because the weak do not know, that they which do not observe a day, and eat, observe it not to the Lord, and eat to the Lord, as the strong men know, that the weak which observe a day and eat not, observe the day to the Lord, and eat not to the Lord.
  2. Romans 14:11 This is a form of an oath, proper to God only, for he and none but he liveth, and hath his being of himself.
  3. Romans 14:11 Shall acknowledge me from God.
