Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Romans 14:20

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

20. For —"For the sake of" meat destroy not the work of God —(See on Romans 14:1 ). The apostle sees in whatever tends to violate a brother's conscience the incipient destruction of God's work (for every converted man is such)—on the same principle as "he that hateth his brother is a murderer" ( Romans 14:1- : ). All things indeed are pure —"clean"; the ritual distinctions being at an end. but it is evil to that man —there is criminality in the man who eateth with offence —that is, so as to stumble a weak brother. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-21" class="com-number"
