“We who are strong ought to bear with the 1FAILINGS of the weak and not to PLEASE OURSELVES. Each of us should PLEASE OUR NEIGHBORS for their good, to BUILD THEM UP. For even Christ DID NOT PLEASE Himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” (Rom. 15:1-3) 1asthenēma: weakness of faith or mind.
The difference between the weak and the strong, as Paul has defined it, is that the strong are fully convinced that in Christ they have been freed from the restrictions of the law. Paul is saying that the strong should consider those who are weak and do ALL THEY CAN to HELP them, to PLEASE them and BUILD THEM UP.
