Romans 14:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 14:5

3 Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and ^alet not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

4 ^aWho are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

5 ^aOne person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

6 He who ^aobserves the day, observes it to the Lord;¹ and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for ^bhe gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

7 For ^anone of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

8 For if we ^alive, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
