But if your brother is grieved with your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died.
All Commentaries on Romans 14:15 Go To Romans 14
Gennadius of Constantinople
AD 471
Look at how wonderfully Paul develops his argument. He starts off at the bottom, by referring to food. Then he goes on to call the person who is sinned against a “brother.” Then he calls what has been done to him “destruction.” Fourth, he says that this outrage has been committed against someone “for whom Christ died.” Fifth, he says that someone who does this causes godliness to be blasphemed, and sixth, that we have not come to faith in Christ in order to be able to enjoy this or that but in order to be able to share in righteousness, which means in sinlessness, peace and joy. .
