This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Rom 14:22. Πίστιν, faith) concerning the cleanness of meat [all meats alike].-σεαυτὸν,-Θεοῦ, thyself-of God) a double antithesis, in relation to our neighbour; as in ch. Rom 15:3.-ἔχε, have) The foundation of real prudence and judicious concealment [of our views on non-essentials, for the sake of our neighbour].-μακάριος, happy) These words down to the end of the chapter, contain the antithesis to ch. Rom 15:1, but.-κρίνων, judging [condemning]) [Condemning] judging and approving are the words in antithesis: by combining the two, the doubting conscience is exquisitely described, when a man approves a thing, and yet [condemns] judges his own action.
