Today's selection is Romans 14:10-18:

NIV: 10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on 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.'"[1]
12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or
obstacle in your brother's way.
14 As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food[2] is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something
as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15 If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy
your brother for whom Christ died.
16 Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil.
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

1.[11] Isaiah 45:23
2.[14] Or that nothing


NASB: 10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you <*1> regard your brother with contempt? For <*2>
we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
11 For it is written, ""<*3> AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, <*4> EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY
TONGUE SHALL [1] GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.'
12 So then <*5> each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us not <*6> judge one another anymore, but rather determine this<*7> not to put an obstacle or a stumbling
block in a brother's way.
14 I know and am convinced [2] in the Lord Jesus that <*8> nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who <*9> thinks anything
to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer <*10> walking according to love. <*11> Do not destroy
with your food him for whom Christ died.
16 Therefore <*12> do not let what is for you a good thing be [3] spoken of as evil;
17 for the kingdom of God <*13> is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and <*14> peace and <*15> joy in the Holy
Spirit.
18 For he who in this way <*16> serves Christ is <*17> acceptable to God and approved by men.

KJV: 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ.
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.
