9. For unto this Messiah died and rose and lived again, to rule over both the dead and the living.
10. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah.
11. For it has been written, “As I live, says יהוה, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to Elohim.”
12. Each one of us, therefore, shall give account of himself to Elohim.
13. Therefore let us not judge one another any longer, but rather judge this, not to put an obstacle or a stumbling-block in our brother’s way.
14. I know and am persuaded in the Master יהושע that none at all is common of itself. But to him who regards whatever to be common, to him it is common.
15. And if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your food ruin the one for whom Messiah died.
16. Do not then allow your good to be spoken of as evil.
17. For the reign of Elohim is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Set-apart Spirit.
18. For he who is serving Messiah in these matters is well-pleasing to Elohim and approved by men.
19. So, then, let us pursue the matters of peace and the matters for building up one another.
