Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another

1As for pthe one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2 qOne person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and rlet not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.

Romans 14:10

10Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For swe will all stand before tthe judgment seat of God;

Romans 14:13-15

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble

13 uTherefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide vnever to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus wthat nothing is unclean in itself, xbut it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, yyou are no longer walking in love. zBy what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.

Romans 14:21

21 aaIt is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.
