This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 14:4. Σὺ) thou, O weak man.-τὶς εἶ) who art thou, who takest so much upon thyself.-ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην, another man’s servant) He calls him in another respect thy brother, as it suits his purpose, Rom 14:10.-Κυρίῳ, [Master] Lord) Christ, Rom 14:6-7; Rom 14:9-10; Rom 14:14-15; Rom 14:18.-στήκει, he stands) although thou, O weak man, dost not think so.-σταθήσεται δὲ, yea, and he shall be holden up) if he shall fall; he will be upheld by sure knowledge.-δυνατὸς γὰρ, for He is able) In the works of Divine grace, the conclusion is often valid, when drawn from what is possible (posse) to what actually is (esse): against those especially, who judge otherwise; and in behalf of those who are weak.
