Romans 14:11-18
King James Version
Romans 14:11-18
King James Version
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Romans 14:11-18
New International Version
11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’(A) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[a](B)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(C)
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment(D) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.(E) 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself.(F) But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.(G) 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.(H) Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.(I) 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.(J) 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,(K) but of righteousness, peace(L) and joy in the Holy Spirit,(M) 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.(N)
