In 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 (cf1Corinthians8). 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. [source][source][source]
Paul moved on to discuss a problem that arises as the dedicated Christian seeks to live within God"s will in the body of Christ ( Romans 12:3-21) and in the body politic (ch13). As Christians, the613specific commands of the Mosaic Law no longer govern our conduct ( Romans 7:6; Romans 10:4), but the principles that Jesus Christ and His apostles revealed do (cf. chs12-13). How then should we deal with conflicting applications of these principles? How should we conduct ourselves when our interpretation of God"s will differs from that of another believer? Paul explained how believers can disagree on nonessentials and still maintain unity in the church. [source][source][source]
"From speaking of those who were too lax in the indulgence of natural appetites [1], the subject passes mainly to those who are too scrupulous. The object is not to remove these scruples, but to show those who have them and those who have them not how to live in Christian peace." [2][source]
The command to accept one another begins ( Romans 14:1) and climaxes this section ( Romans 15:7). Within it Paul also gave three other "one another" references ( Romans 14:13; Romans 14:19; Romans 15:5). [source][source][source]
