(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Him that is weak (ton asthenounta). See note on 1Co 8:7-12; 1Co 9:22; Rom 4:19.

Receive ye (proslambanesthe). Present middle imperative (indirect), “take to yourselves.”

Yet not to doubtful disputations (mē eis diakriseis dialogismōn). “Not for decisions of opinions.” Note dia (between, two or duo) in both words. Discriminations between doubts or hesitations. For diakrisis, see note on 1Co 12:10; Heb 5:14 (only N.T. examples). For dialogismos see note on Luk 2:35; on Luk 24:38; and note on Phi 2:14. The “strong” brother is not called upon to settle all the scruples of the “weak” brother. But each takes it on himself to do it.
