Romans 14:13-15 Part 1 of 2

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.

 

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another

Romans 14:1  Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

 

Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister 

2 Corinthians 6:3  We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

Matthew 18:6-7  "If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"   

Romans 14:20-21  Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.

1 Corinthians 8:9  Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

1 Corinthians 10:32  Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God--...

nothing is unclean in itself 

Acts 10:14-15  "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
