¹⁰ But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you also, why do you scorn your brother? For we will all be standing-before the judicial-seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it has been written, ‘ As I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God.’ ¹² Therefore consequently, each of us will be giving an account concerning himself to God.

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is practicing the will of my Father, the one in the heavens. ²² Many will be saying to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not: prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and practice many miracles in your name? ²³ And then I will confess to them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you who are working lawlessness.

¹ But receive the one who is weak in the faith, yet not for the judging of his reasonings. ² One has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats herbs. ³ Do not let the one who eats, scorn the one who does not eat; and do not let the one who does not eat, judge the one who eats; for God himself has received him. ⁴ Who are you who is judging another’s domestic servant? He stands or falls to his own lord. Now, he will be made to stand up; for it is possible for God to stand him up. ⁵ One indeed is judging a day beside another day; but one is judging each day the same; let each one be fully assured in his own mind. ⁶ He who is mindful of the day, is mindful of it to the Lord; and he who is not mindful of the day, is not mindful of it to the Lord; and he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives-thanks to God. And he who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives-thanks to God. ⁷ For none of us is living to himself, and none dies to himself. ⁸ For in both, if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord; therefore, in both, if we live or die, we are the Lord’s. ⁹ For Christ both died and rose up and lived for this, in order that he might have lordship over both the dead and the living. ¹⁰ But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you also, why do you scorn your brother? For we will all be standing-before the judicial-seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it has been written, ‘ As I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God.’ ¹² Therefore consequently, each of us will be giving an account concerning himself to God.
¹³ Therefore we should no longer judge one another, but rather judge this: you are not to place a stumbling block, or offense, in the way of the brother. ¹⁴ I know, and have confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is desecrated through itself, except to the one who counts something to be desecrated, to that one it is desecrated. ¹⁵ But if your brother is made sorrowful because of food, you are no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy that man, on behalf of whom Christ died, with your food. ¹⁶ Therefore do not let your good thing be blasphemed; ¹⁷ for the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For the one who is serving Christ in these things is well pleasing to God and approved by men. ¹⁹ Therefore consequently, we may pursue the things of peace, and the things for building up one another. ²⁰ Do not tear-down the work of God because of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil to the man who eats through a stumbling block. ²¹ It is good not to eat meats, nor to drink wine, nor anything in which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weak. ²² Do you have faith? Have it to yourself in God’s sight! The fortunate one is not judging himself in what he is approving. ²³ But he who is doubting has been condemned if he eats, because he does not eat out of faith, and everything which is not from faith is sin.

³¹ Which one out of the two did the will of his father?
They say, The first.
Jesus says to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will precede you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe in him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed in him, and the n having seen it, you did not even regret it later, that you might believe in him.

⁴⁶ Take-heed, stay away from the scribes, who wish to walk in long robes and love greetings in the marketplaces and foremost seats in the synagogues and foremost-places in the suppers; ⁴⁷ who are devouring widow’s houses, and are praying long prayers for a pretext. These will be receiving even-more condemnation.

I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has rained on my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. ⁴⁵ You gave me no kiss, but, from the time I came in she has continually kissed my feet. ⁴⁶ You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume. ⁴⁷ Because of which, I say to you, Her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, because she loved much, but to whom few is forgiven, the same loves few. ⁴⁸ Now he said to her, Your sins have been forgiven.
⁴⁹ And those who reclined at the meal together with him began to speak among themselves, Who is this one, who forgives even sins?
⁵⁰ But he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you. Travel in peace.

¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray; the first one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood and was praying these things with himself, God, I give-thanks to you, that I am not like the rest of men: swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers or just-like this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice in the week; I tithe of all things, as many things as I procure. ¹³ And the tax collector, standing from afar, was not even willing to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his chest, saying, God, be lenient to me, the sinner. ¹⁴ I say to you, This one went down to his house, having been made righteous rather than that man, because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, but he who is humbling himself will be exalted.

¹ Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, ² saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit upon the seat of Moses. ³ Therefore, as many things as they may say for you to keep, keep and do, but do not do them according to their works; for they say and are not doing. ⁴ For they bind burdensome and unbearable loads, and place them upon men’s shoulders, but they are not willing to move them even with their finger. ⁵ And they are practicing all their works to be seen by men. And they widen their phylacteries and magnify the hems of their garments, ⁶ and they love the foremost-place in the suppers and the foremost seats in the synagogues, ⁷ and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. ⁸ But do not be called Rabbi; for only one is your leader, the Christ, and you are all brethren. ⁹ Now do not call anyone your father upon the earth; for only one is your Father, the one in the heavens; ¹⁰ nor be called leaders; for only one is your leader–the Christ. ¹¹ But the greater of you will be your servant. ¹² But whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

¹⁶ Woe to you, you blind guides, that say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated. ¹⁷ You are foolish and blind; for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that makes the gold holy? ¹⁸ And, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gift which is upon it, he is obligated. ¹⁹ You^\'b0 are foolish and blind; for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift holy? ²⁰ Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it, and by all things upon it. ²¹ And he who swears by the temple, swears by it, and in the one who has dwelt in it. ²² And he who has sworn by the heaven, swears by the throne of God, and in the one who is sitting upon it.
²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and yet have left behind the weighty things of the law: justice and mercy and faith.

²⁹ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

How may you flee from the judgment of hell? ³⁴ Because of this, behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes, and out of them you will be killing and will be crucifying, and some of them you will be scourging in your synagogues and will be persecuting from city to city, ³⁵ so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Assuredly I am saying to you, All these things will be coming upon this generation.
³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her!
