This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Another reason is here produced why we should not rashly censure or judge our brother differing in judgment from us about lesser things; namely, because he is God's servant; and it is God's sentence and not ours, which he must stand or fall by. And if these differences shall not hinder God's acceptance of him to salvation, why should they hinder us in accepting of him into our communion? To love, is our duty: to judge, is God's prerogative: Let us be more in charity, and less in censure.
Learn hence, That the scripture forbids us to judge one another as having no grace, for the doing or not doing of those things which are consistent with a present state of grace.
