Romanos 14:2 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 14:2

For one believeth that he may eat all things
He is fully persuaded in his mind, that there is nothing in itself common, or unclean; that the difference between clean and unclean meats, commanded to be observed by the law of Moses, is taken away; and that he may now lawfully eat any sort of food; every creature of God being good, and none to be refused, because of the ceremonial law which is abrogated, provided it, be received with thanksgiving, and used to the glory of God:

another who is weak eateth herbs;
meaning not one that is sickly and unhealthful, and of a weak constitution, and therefore eats herbs for health's sake; but one that is weak in the faith, and who thinks that the laws concerning the observance of meats and drinks are still in force; and therefore, rather than break any of them, and that he may be sure he does not, will eat nothing but herbs, which are not any of them forbidden by the law: and this he did, either as choosing rather to live altogether on herbs, than to eat anything which the law forbids; or being of opinion with the Essenes among the Jews, and the Pythagoreans among the Gentiles, who thought they were to abstain from eating of all sorts of animals.

Romanos 14:2 In-Context

1 El peligro de juzgar
Acepten a los creyentes que son débiles en la fe y no discutan acerca de lo que ellos consideran bueno o malo.

2 Por ejemplo, un creyente piensa que está bien comer de todo; pero otro creyente, con una conciencia sensible, come solo verduras.

3 Los que se sienten libres para comer de todo no deben menospreciar a los que no sienten la misma libertad; y los que no comen determinados alimentos no deben juzgar a los que sí los comen, porque a esos hermanos Dios los ha aceptado.

4 ¿Quién eres tú para juzgar a los sirvientes de otro? Su amo dirá si quedan en pie o caen; y con la ayuda del Señor, quedarán en pie y recibirán la aprobación de él.

5 Del mismo modo, algunos piensan que un día es más sagrado que otro, mientras que otros creen que todos los días son iguales. Cada uno debería estar plenamente convencido de que el día que elija es aceptable.
