12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Commentary
Romans 14 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of unity within the church. Paul begins by reminding the church that each person is responsible for their own actions and that they should not judge one another. He then goes on to explain that each person should be fully convinced in their own mind and that they should not be swayed by the opinions of others. He also encourages the church to accept one another and not to pass judgment on those who have different beliefs.
