Rim 14,1-10 - "Slabí vo viere" boli kresťania, ktorí sa úprimne, ale mylne domnievali, že aj ako kresťania musia naďalej dodržiavať predpisy židovského pôvodu o svätení niektorých dní alebo o zdržiavaní sa niektorých pokrmov. Pavol tu nehovorí podrobne o týchto praktikách alebo o ich pôvode. V presvedčení, že ony aj tak časom zaniknú, odporúča ušľachtilý liberálny postoj voči takýmto kresťanom. Každý si, pravda, má utvoriť svedomie isté a správne a prejavovať lásku ku všetkým.
Rim 14,11 - Porov. Iz 49, 18; 45, 23. "Ako že žijem" je zvyčajným výrazom Božej prísahy. Boh prisahá sám na seba, na svoj nemeniteľný večný život.
Rim 14,14 - Nijaký pokrm sám osebe mravne neznečisťuje, ako to vyhlásil už Ježiš Kristus (Mt 15, 11; Mk 7, 18–19; Sk 11, 9). Teda ani pokrmy obetované predtým modlám (porov. 1 Kor 8, 1–6).
Rim 14,22-23 - Apoštol tu uvádza dôležitú zásadu pre všetkých kresťanov, "slabých" i "silných". Jedni i druhí sa musia správať podľa svojho svedomia osvieteného "vierou". Presvedčenie "silných vo viere" je objektívne správne a sú "blažení", že ich netrápia pochybnosti. Ale v konkrétnom živote sa musia riadiť láskou k "slabým", ktorá je nado všetko. – Kto však je "slabý vo viere" a koná ináč, ako mu svedomie káže, čo platí pre každého, teda aj pre "silného vo viere", dopúšťa sa hriechu.
