Augustine of Hippo, on Rom 14:22

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Rom 14:22 · Douay-Rheims
“Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.”
On this verse:
“This should be read in connection with [verse 16] above.… Let us make good use of what we have, lest we sin against our brothers by creating a stumbling block for the weaker ones. For when we offend the weak we condemn ourselves by the very good by which we approve ourselves when this faith pleases us.”
