Rom 14:3-4 | JFB | STEP | 3. Let not him that eateth despise —look down superciliously upon "him that eateth not." and let not him that eateth not judge —sit in judgment censoriously upon "him that eateth." for God hath received him —as one of His dear children, who in this matter acts not from laxity, but religious principle.

Romans 14:3-4

3. Let not him that eateth despise—look down superciliously upon "him that eateth not."

and let not him that eateth not judge—sit in judgment censoriously upon "him that eateth."

for God hath received him—as one of His dear children, who in this matter acts not from laxity, but religious principle.

4. Who art thou that judges another man's—rather, "another's"

servant?—that is, CHRIST'S, as the whole context shows, especially Ro 14:8, 9.

Yea, &c.—"But he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand"; that is, to make good his standing, not at the day of judgment, of which the apostle treats in Ro 14:10, but in the true fellowship of the Church here, in spite of thy censures.
