Today, I am reading and commenting on Romans 15-16.

Today’s passage begins with Paul writing that the strong should bear with the failings of the weak.  He is restating what he wrote at the beginning of chapter 14, that we should accept the one whose faith is weak without quarreling over “disputable matters.”  With that context, Paul tells us that we should please our neighbors for their own good so that we might build them up in their faith.  We should accept one another just as Christ accepts us.  We should serve each other.  Paul also writes in his conclusion that we should watch out for those who cause divisions and keep away from them.  So, we should not argue over disputable matters and stay away from those who do.  Further, we should bear with and serve those whose weak faith leads them to follow certain rituals designed to remind them of their faith.  Our purpose in doing so is to build them up in their faith so that they can serve God better.
