Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.This quotation from Isaiah 45:23 was frequently in the apostle's thoughts, as, for example, when he wrote the Philippians:In the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10,11).As Lenski truly observed:In... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 14:1-12
1. The folly of judging one another 14:1-12The apostle dealt first with the importance of not judging one another. This was a particular temptation to those Christians who believed that they should refrain from some practices that they believed were displeasing to God but which other Christians felt were legitimate. When Paul wrote, the first group included Jewish Christians who, because of their background in Judaism, tended to perpetuate the practices commanded in the Mosaic Code. Some Jewish... read more

D. Conduct within Christian liberty 14:1-15:13In Romans 14:1 to Romans 15:13, Paul gave special attention to the problem of knowing how to live in Christian freedom. This section of Romans deals with Christian conduct when God does not specify exactly what we should do in every situation (cf. 1 Corinthians 8). In such cases some Christians will do one thing and others another, both within God’s will. How to handle these situations is the focus of this section.Paul moved on to discuss a problem... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 14:11
Everyone will bow in judgment before the Son of God (Isaiah 45:23; Isaiah 49:13; cf. Philippians 2:10-11). Christians will do so at the judgment seat of Christ following the Rapture (Luke 14:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Timothy 4:8; Revelation 22:12). Old Testament saints will do so at the Second Coming (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2). Unbelievers will do so at the great white throne judgment at the end of the Millennium (Revelation 20:11-15). Of course, no one judged at the... read more

The Duty of Sympathy and TolerationIn chapter Romans 13:12 St. Paul urged his readers, by their expectation of Christ’s coming, to avoid the licence and immorality of the heathen. Now he turns to the opposite extreme, and deals with the ascetic scrupulousness of certain Christians.Under the Jewish Law there was a distinction between clean and unclean meats. This distinction, which perpetuated the separation between Jew and Gentile, Christ abolished (Mark 7:19 RV), as was afterwards revealed to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 14:10-12
(10-12) Such being our relations to Christ, and such the judgment to which we look forward, there is no room for any human judgment. Censoriousness is thus condemned. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 14:1-23
The use of Christian liberty (14:1-15:13)Although Christians are free from religious rules and regulations such as those found in Moses’ law, some have difficulty living with such freedom. Because their faith is not strong, they have their own laws which they feel bound to keep. Other Christians should accept such people warmly into their fellowship and not argue with them about personal opinions (14:1).Some of the Jewish Christians in the church in Rome had grown little in their faith and... read more
