Romans 14:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 14:11

9 For ^ato this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be ^bLord of both the dead and the living.

10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For ^awe shall all stand before the judgment seat of¹ Christ.

11 For it is written:
^a“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”

12 So then ^aeach of us shall give account of himself to God.

13 Therefore let us not judge one another¹ anymore, but rather resolve this, ^anot to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

The Law of Love

14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus ^athat there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
