A Rebuke for Both Sides
Commentators explain that Paul addresses two distinct but equally wrong attitudes. He rebukes the scrupulous Christian (the "weak") for being quick to "judge" those with more freedom. At the same time, he rebukes the Christian with more freedom (the "strong") for "despising" or looking down on the scrupulous one. Both actions are condemned.
