Romans 14:19

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
Read Chapter 14

Ambrosiaster

AD 400
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.

Clement Of Alexandria

AD 215
Sed et qui utitur, "cum gratiarum actione"

John Chrysostom

AD 407
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.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
