Romans 14:3

Verse 3. Let not him that eateth. That is, he who has no scruples about eating meat, etc., who is not restrained by the law of the Jews respecting the clean and unclean, or by the fact that meat may have been offered to idols. Despise him. Hold him in contempt, as being unnecessarily scrupulous, etc. The word despise here is happily chosen. The Gentile would be very likely to despise the Jew as being restrained by foolish scruples and mere distinctions in matters of no importance. Him that eateth not. Him that is restrained by scruples of conscience, and that will eat only vegetables, Ro 14:2. The reference here is doubtless to the Jew. Judge him. To judge here has the force of condemn.
