Romans 14:15
_ _ But if thy brother be grieved — has his weak conscience hurt
_ _ with thy meat — rather, “because of meat.” The word “meat” is purposely selected as something contemptible in contrast with the tremendous risk run for its sake. Accordingly, in the next clause, that idea is brought out with great strength.
_ _ Destroy not him with — “by”
_ _ thy meat for whom Christ died — “The worth of even the poorest and weakest brother cannot be more emphatically expressed than by the words, ‘for whom Christ died’” [Olshausen]. The same sentiment is expressed with equal sharpness in 1 Corinthians 8:11. Whatever tends to make anyone violate his conscience tends to the destruction of his soul; and he who helps, whether wittingly or no, to bring about the one is guilty of aiding to accomplish the other. |
Romans 14:15
If thy brother is grieved — That is, wounded, led into sin. Destroy not him for whom Christ died — So we see, he for whom Christ died may be destroyed. With thy meat — Do not value thy meat more than Christ valued his life. |
Romans 14:15
But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. (14) Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom (15) Christ died.
(14) It is the part of a cruel mind to make more account of meat than of our brother's salvation. Which thing those do who eat with the intent of giving offence to any brother, and so give him occasion to turn back from the Gospel.
(15) Another argument: we must follow Christ's example: and Christ was so far from destroying the weak with meat that he gave his life for them. |
- thy brother:
Ezekiel 13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
1 Corinthians 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
|
- now:
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 15:2 Let every one of us please [his] neighbour for [his] good to edification.
1 Corinthians 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ... Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Philippians 2:2-4 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. ... Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

- charitably:
- Gr. according to charity
|
- Destroy:
1 Corinthians 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
