Romans

Romans 14:10–12

¹⁰Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. ¹¹It is written:

“As surely as I live,

says the Lord,

every knee will bow before Me;

every tongue will confess to God.”^c

¹²So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
