This is the inverse of Paul’s advice to the Gentiles. The Jews’ stricter dietary regulations should not lead them to judge Gentiles.

Breaking down verses like this can help us appreciate the factions in Paul’s audience. But we need to be careful not to take this too far. Ultimately, Paul insists that he is really speaking to one audience, with one common situation:

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 
Romans 3:21-24 NIV
