English Standard Version
Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another
14 As for (A)the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2 (B)One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and (C)let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.

The Weak and the Strong
14 Accept the one whose faith is weak,(A) without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.(B) 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt(C) the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge(D) the one who does, for God has accepted them.

Romans 14:8-12
English Standard Version
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, (A)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ (B)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both (C)of the dead and of the living.
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For (D)we will all stand before (E)the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written,
(F)“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess[a] to God.”
12 So then (G)each of us will give an account of himself to God.

New International Version
8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(A) 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(B) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(C)
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?(D) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.(E) 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’(F) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b](G)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(H)
