This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

13–23. While Christian freedom is to be maintained, it must not be so maintained as to violate charity. S. Paul has developed in the strongest terms the Christian right, and consequently the wrong of judging. Now he develops the higher considerations, which should influence the strong, in suspending their rights for the greater matters of righteousness, peace and joy, for love’s sake. The principle is enforced by repetition; cf. 14 a and 20 b, 15 b and 20 a; in each case some fresh aspect enforces the principle. The argument is the same as in 1Co 8:9-13.
