Romans 14:12

Read in context

Romans 14:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

11 It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”

12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

13 Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.

14 I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
