Romans 14:22-23 Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that comdemns not himself in that thing which he allows.… Resolved, that I will never do anything about the lawfulness of which I am doubtful, unless I am equally doubtful whether it be lawful to omit the doing of it. (Jon. Edwards.) For whatsoever is not of faith is sin. — I. HOW THIS IS OFTEN MISAPPLIED. 1. When all the virtues of the heathen — 2. The morality of the unconverted — 3. The proprieties of civilised life — are denounced as polished vice. II. HOW IT OUGHT TO BE APPLIED. 1. To Christian believers. 2. As a rule for the regulation of all doubtful actions. (J. Lyth, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
