(19) He gives a double warning in these matters: one, which pertains to the strong, that he who has obtained a sure knowledge of this liberty, keep that treasure to the end that he may use it wisely and profitably, as has been said: the second, which respects the weak, that they do nothing rashly by other men's example with a wavering conscience, for it cannot be done without sin if we are not persuaded by the word of God that he likes and approves it.
(q) He showed before in (Romans 14:14) what he means by faith, that is, for a man to be certain and without doubt in matters and things indifferent.
(r) Embraces.
