Romans 14:1 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Ver. 1. Him that is weak, &c.] That is, not thoroughly persuaded of all things pertaining to Christian liberty about things indifferent.

Receive] Affectu charitatis, put him into your bosoms, bear with his weaknesses, &c. Bucer rejected none, though different in some opinions, in whom he found aliquid Christi, anything of Christ, whose weaklings are to be handled with all tenderness. (Haymo.)

But not to doubtful] Make him not question sick, 1 Timothy 6:4. Wring not men's consciences, you may hap to break the wards if you do.
