This is the Baymont podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today, we wrap up our verse by verse trademark.

Journey through the book of Romans and look back to see Paul's big argument buried in this brilliance letter.

We love it. Romans 14, one of my favorite chapters in the New Testament.

I know I say that all the time, but it is. Some of these chapters rise to the top. This is one of them.

I think it's some of the most practical instruction that I've read in the teachings of Paul for, I mean today, like his most practical instruction for us today.

And it's probably because of how it resonates with just my own mentality, my own psychological makeup. But I love it.

Nonetheless, Brent, how about you start us off here? Get us into Romans 14.

Except the one whose faith is weak without quarreling over disputable matters.

One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another whose faith is weak eats only vegetables.

The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt, the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does.

For God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant?

To their own master, servant, stand, or fall, and they will stand for the Lord is able to make them stand.

So first of all, let's just deal with this phrase weak and strong because I used to teach this kind of, I would give the wrong impression because the way that word works in the English.

When we hear weak faith, we think, oh, weak faith, and then there's something strong.

The words here in the Greek need to imply more to, I don't know how to describe it, Brent. Help me find the words here.

It's not like somebody is strong and somebody is weak in their faith.

One person's faith is acute and narrow. It's smaller. And by smaller, I don't mean weaker.

I mean, a person with weak faith would say, my faith allows three units of faithfulness.

Then there's somebody with strong faith, and they would say, well, my faith allows for ten units of faithfulness.

So somebody has faith that sees more freedom. It's a wider scope. It's a wider breadth.

And some people have faith that is weak, but it's not weak. It's narrower. It's smaller.

Maybe we would say it's narrower but deeper, and the other person is wider.
