ACC ~ Romans 14 v19

MUTUAL UPBUILDING. AMBROSIASTER: Since disapproval leads to discord, Paul teaches us to be peaceful and to avoid arguments over eating or not eating. Instead, he encourages us to follow the way of upbuilding. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

PURSUE PEACE. CHRYSOSTOM: This applies to both sides equally. The one must become peaceable and the other must not destroy his brother. Without peace it is impossible to edify anyone. HOMILIES ON ROMANS 26.

DO NOT JUDGE EACH OTHER. PELAGIUS: Let us not judge one another in matters of this kind. Abstinence is edification; food, on the other hand, even if it does not ruin anybody, edifies no one. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
