This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Rom 14:6. Εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ-καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ, for he gives thanks-and gives thanks) Thanksgiving sanctifies all actions, however outwardly different, which do not weaken it, 1Co 10:30; Col 2:7; Col 3:17; 1Ti 4:4. The, For, however, has greater force than and, as thanksgiving is more connected with eating, than with abstinence from eating; and in him, who eats, there are both the fruits and the criterion, and in some respects the ground of faith, even of that faith, of which we have an account at Rom 14:22, and of an assured conscience; with respect to him who does not eat, that faith, of which we read at Rom 14:22, is no doubt defective as to its fruits, criterion, and the ground on which it rests, but yet the man retains all the three as regards a conscience void of offence [not violated].-καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ, and gives thanks) for herbs, Rom 14:2.
