Context of Romans 14:5
3Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. 6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

Commentaries on Romans 14:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5One man esteemeth one day above another - Perhaps the word ̔, day, is here taken for time, festival, and such like, in which sense it is frequently used. Reference is made here to the Jewish institutions, and especially their festivals; such as the passover, pentecost, feast of tabernacles, new moons, jubilee, etc. The converted Jew still thought these of moral obligation; the Gentile Christian not having been bred up in this way had no such prejudices…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5One man esteemeth - Greek “judgeth” ́ krineiThe word is here properly translated “esteemeth;” compare Acts 13:46; Acts 16:15. The word originally has the idea of “separating,” and then “discerning,” in the act of judging. The expression means that one would set a higher value on one day than on another, or would regard it as more sacred than others. This was the case with the “Jews” uniformly, who regarded the days of their festivals, and fasts, and…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike: The reference is probably to Jewish festival days and to the Sabbath (compare Colossians 2:16). Because Christ has provided salvation, Christians are no longer required to observe the Sabbath in its original form.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day--The supplement "alike" should be omitted, as injuring the sense. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind--be guided in such matters by conscientious conviction.Read the comment
