Romans 14:11

9 For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

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

It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”

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

13 Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
