Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 14:17

This verse contains a new argument to persuade Christians not to strive about meats, or such like things; and that is, that the kingdom of God doth not consist in these, but in weightier matters. By the kingdom of God, you may understand the gospel, or true religion and godliness; that kingdom which God erects in the hearts of men, Luke 17:21; 1 Corinthians 4:20. When he saith, the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, he means, that it doth not stand or consist therein. Meat and drink are put... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 14:17

Romans 14:17 In this verse of Scripture joy is not the first but the last of three. Joy is the home in which the pilgrim rests; righteousness and peace are the paths by which he reaches it. I. Righteousness. It is the want of righteousness, or guilt, that disturbs our peace or damps our joy. Here lies the root of the ailment, and here, therefore, must the cure begin. A righteousness suitable to our need must obviously consist of two parts the evil must be removed and the good imparted. Christ's... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 14:1-23

Romans 14:1 . Him that is weak in the faith receive ye. The apostolic churches were composed of jews and gentiles. Most of the jews were zealous of the law, and observed the legal distinctions of meats, clean and unclean, while the gentiles would eat whatever was sold in the shambles. Many of the heathen also had conscientious scruples. We gather from Ovid’s Fastorum, that the Greeks and Romans had feasts and customs without number; and some of those after their conversion would not eat... read more
