Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 15:1

"Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." — Romans 15:1 (ASV)

When we are free from scruples on any point, and feel that there are things that we may do because we are strong, yet let us not do them if by doing so we should grieve others who are weak. Let us think of their infirmities; and whatever liberty we may feel entitled to claim for ourselves, let us look at the matter from the standpoint of other people as well as from our own, that we may bear the infirmities of the weak, and not seek to please ourselves.
