OET (OET-RV) So we shouldn’t be judging each other, but rather be judging ourselves that we’re not causing another believer to stumble or fall into temptation.
OET-LV Therefore no_longer one_another we_may_be_judging, but this judge rather, which not to_be_putting stumbling to_your brother or temptation.

14:13 This verse acts as a bridge. Let’s stop condemning each other summarizes 14:1-12, while the concern about causing another believer to stumble and fall becomes the major emphasis of 14:14-23.
• stumble and fall: This phrase originally applied to obstacles that could trip people as they walked, or to traps into which a person might fall. It is used metaphorically throughout the New Testament for behavior that might bring spiritual harm to another person (see 1 Cor 8:9, 13; 1 Jn 2:10; cp. Matt 21:42-44; Luke 20:17-18; Rom 9:32-33; 1 Pet 2:8).

οὖν
therefore
The word Therefore indicates that what follows is a logical conclusion. Therefore here indicates that what follows in this verse is the result of what Paul said in 14:10–12. Use a natural way in your language for indicating result. Alternate translation: “Because of these things”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ ἢ σκάνδαλον
¬which not /to_be/_putting stumbling ˱to˲_your brother or temptation
Here, stumbling block and trap mean basically the same thing. They both refer to tempting someone to sin. Paul uses them to emphasize what he is saying. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “not to do or say anything at all that might cause a brother to sin”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα
¬which not /to_be/_putting stumbling
See how you translated stumbling block in 11:9.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τῷ ἀδελφῷ
˱to˲_your brother
Here, brother refers to a fellow Christian. See how you translated this word in 14:10.
