14:21. It is good not to eat flesh and not to drink wine: nor any thing
whereby thy brother is offended or scandalized or made weak.
14:22. Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he
that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
14:23. But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of
faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
Discerneth... That is, distinguisheth between meats, and eateth against
his conscience, what he deems unclean. Of faith... By faith is here
understood judgment and conscience: to act against which is always a
sin.
Romans Chapter 15
He exhorts them to be all of one mind and promises to come and see them.
15:1. Now, we that are stronger ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak and not to please ourselves.
15:2. Let every one of you Please his neighbour unto good, to
edification.
15:3. For Christ did not please himself: but, as it is written: The
reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me.
15:4. For what things soever were written were written for our learning:
that, through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have
hope.
15:5. Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one
mind, one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
15:6. That with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify God and the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15:7. Wherefore, receive one another, as Christ also hath received you,
unto the honour of God.
15:8. For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for
the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Minister of the circumcision... That is, executed his office and
ministry towards the Jews, the people of the circumcision.
15:9. But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is
written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles
and will sing to thy name.
15:10. And again he saith: rejoice ye Gentiles, with his people.
15:11. And again: praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles: and magnify him, all
ye people.
15:12. And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he
that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.
15:13. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing:
that you may abound in hope and in the power of the Holy Ghost.
15:14. And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you that you also
are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able
to admonish one another.
15:15. But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as
it were putting you in mind, because of the grace which is given me from
God,
15:16. That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles:
sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be
made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.
15:17. I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.
15:18. For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ
worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
15:19. By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy
Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about, as far as unto Illyricum, I
have replenished the gospel of Christ.
