Exegesis
The dative phrase tō bēmati tou theou {τῷ βήματι τοῦ θεοῦ | tôi bḗ-ma-ti toû the-oû} identifies the locus of this future event as “the judgment seat of God,” drawing on judicial imagery where the bēma is a raised platform for legal decisions. In translation, the parallel questions are preserved with clear punctuation to retain the rhetorical force, and the causal gar clause is rendered as “For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God,” making explicit the logical connection between refraining from judging others and the shared accountability before the divine tribunal.
In context — Romans 14:10
But you, why do you judge your brother ? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God .
