Romanos 14:1
Who would be so inhumane as to lay aside any sympathy for the weak and trample on them, not even offering them the help they need in adversity? Paul makes this an absolute command and accompanies it with the teaching that the law and all the behavior it entailed has been abolished in Christ. Yet he was conscious that the ethnic heritage weighed more heavily on the Jew, who felt that he would be sinning against his brothers if he went against the law. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 14:10
Once again Paul takes up his earlier theme and by adding the word brother shows how inappropriate this kind of judging is. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 14:15
Look at how wonderfully Paul develops his argument. He starts off at the bottom, by referring to food. Then he goes on to call the person who is sinned against a "brother." Then he calls what has been done to him "destruction." Fourth, he says that this outrage has been committed against someone "for whom Christ died." Fifth, he says that someone who does this causes godliness to be blasphemed, and sixth, that we have not come to faith in Christ in order to be able to enjoy this or that but in order to be able to share in righteousness, which means in sinlessness, peace and joy. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
