Context of Romans 14:5

3Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him. 4Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand. One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7For none of us lives to himself, and none dies 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
