Exhortation for the Strong not to Destroy the Weak
14:13 Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister.

Colossians 2:10-12
2:10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
2:11 In him you also were circumcised – not, however,
with a circumcision performed by human hands, but by the removal
of the fleshly body,
that is,
through the circumcision done by Christ.
2:12 Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your
faith in the power
of God who raised him from the dead.
Revelation 2:14
2:14 But I have a few things against you: You have some people there who follow the teaching of Balaam,
who instructed Balak to put a stumbling block
before the people
of Israel so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
Revelation 2:20
2:20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that
woman
Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives
my servants
to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Revelation 13:14-18
13:14 and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told
those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.
13:15 The second beast
was empowered
to give life
to the image of the first beast
so that it could speak, and could cause all those who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
13:16 He also caused
everyone (small and great, rich and poor, free and slave
) to obtain a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.
13:17 Thus no one was allowed to buy
or sell things
unless he bore
the mark of the beast – that is, his name or his number.
13:18 This calls for wisdom:
Let the one who has insight calculate the beast’s number, for it is man’s number,
and his number is 666.
