1 τον δε ασθενουντα τη πιστει προσλαμβανεσθε, μη εις διακρισεις διαλογισμων. 2 ος μεν πιστευει φαγειν παντα, ο δε ασθενων λαχανα εσθιει. 3 ο εσθιων τον μη εσθιοντα μη εξουθενειτω, και ο μη εσθιων τον εσθιοντα μη κρινετω· ο θεος γαρ αυτον προσελαβετο. 4 συ τις ει ο κρινων αλλοτριον οικετην; τω ιδιω κυριω στηκει η πιπτει· σταθησεται δε· δυνατος γαρ εστιν ο θεος στησαι αυτον. 5 ος μεν κρινει ημεραν παρ ημεραν, ος δε κρινει πασαν ημεραν. εκαστος εν τω ιδιω νοι πληροφορεισθω. 6 ο φρονων την ημεραν κυριω φρονει, και ο μη φρονων την ημεραν κυριω ου φρονει. και ο εσθιων κυριω εσθιει· ευχαριστει γαρ τω θεω· και ο μη εσθιων κυριω ουκ εσθιει, και ευχαριστει τω θεω. 7 ουδεις γαρ ημων εαυτω ζη και ουδεις εαυτω αποθνησκει· 8 εαν τε γαρ ζωμεν, τω κυριω ζωμεν, εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν, τω κυριω αποθνησκομεν. εαν τε ουν ζωμεν εαν τε αποθνησκωμεν, του κυριου εσμεν. 9 εις τουτο γαρ χριστος και απεθανεν και ανεστη και εζησεν, ινα και νεκρων και ζωντων κυριευση. 10 συ δε τι κρινεις τον αδελφον σου; η και συ τι εξουθενεις τον αδελφον σου; παντες γαρ παραστησομεθα τω βηματι του χριστου. 11 γεγραπται γαρ· ζω εγω, λεγει κυριος, οτι εμοι καμψει παν γονυ, και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησεται τω θεω. 12 αρα ουν εκαστος ημων περι εαυτου λογον δωσει τω θεω. 13 μηκετι ουν αλληλους κρινωμεν, αλλα τουτο κρινατε μαλλον, το μη τιθεναι προσκομμα τω αδελφω η σκανδαλον. 14 οιδα και πεπεισμαι εν κυριω ιησου οτι ουδεν κοινον δι αυτου· ει μη τω λογιζομενω τι κοινον ειναι, εκεινω κοινον. 15 ει δε δια βρωμα ο αδελφος σου λυπειται, ουκετι κατα αγαπην περιπατεις. μη τω βρωματι σου εκεινον απολλυε, υπερ ου χριστος απεθανεν. 16 μη βλασφημεισθω ουν υμων το αγαθον. 17 ου γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου βρωσις και ποσις, αλλα δικαιοσυνη και ειρηνη και χαρα εν πνευματι αγιω· 18 ο γαρ εν τουτοις δουλευων τω χριστω ευαρεστος τω θεω και δοκιμος τοις ανθρωποις. 19 αρα ουν τα της ειρηνης διωκωμεν και τα της οικοδομης της εις αλληλους. 20 μη ενεκεν βρωματος καταλυε το εργον του θεου. παντα μεν καθαρα, αλλα κακον τω ανθρωπω τω δια προσκομματος εσθιοντι. 21 καλον το μη φαγειν κρεα μηδε πιειν οινον μηδε εν ω ο αδελφος σου προσκοπτει η σκανδαλιζεται η ασθενει. 22 συ πιστιν εχεις; κατα σεαυτον εχε ενωπιον του θεου. μακαριος ο μη κρινων εαυτον εν ω δοκιμαζει. 23 ο δε διακρινομενος εαν φαγη, κατακεκριται, οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως· παν δε ο ουκ εκ πιστεως, αμαρτια εστιν. 24 τω δε δυναμενω υμας στηριξαι κατα το ευαγγελιον μου και το κηρυγμα ιησου χριστου, κατα αποκαλυψιν μυστηριου χρονοις αιωνιοις σεσιγημενου, 25 φανερωθεντος δε νυν, δια τε γραφων προφητικων κατ επιταγην του αιωνιου θεου εις υπακοην πιστεως εις παντα τα εθνη γνωρισθεντος, 26 μονω σοφω θεω δια ιησου χριστου, ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας· αμην.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
I Am aware that to most what is here said is a difficulty. And therefore I must first give the subject of the whole of this passage, and what he wishes to correct in writing this. What does he wish to correct then?

If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and "we must all appear at the judgment-seat of Christ, and must every one give an account of himself." Let us then serve Him in fear, and with all reverence, even as He Himself …
… hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved." And he renders the reason why the Son of God did these things, saying, "For to this end Christ both lived, and died, and revived, that He might rule over the living and the dead." And again, writing to the Corinthians, he declares, "But we preach Christ Jesus crucified;" and …
This it was, verily, "Him that is weak in the faith, receive ye;" which he applied to himself, and discovered to me.

Because Paul also saith this selfsame thing: or rather, there too it is Christ, speaking by Paul, and saying, "Why dost thou judge thy brother?
