CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Romans 14

Paul addresses disputes between believers over eating and observing particular days. The strong must not despise the weak, and the weak must not judge the strong, because each servant stands before the Lord. Every believer will give account to God, so the priority should be not placing a stumbling block before a brother. The kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Believers should pursue edification and act from faith rather than violate conscience.
