Strength is for Service
Commentators agree that being "strong" in faith isn't a license for personal freedom, but a God-given responsibility. As John Calvin notes, strength is given specifically to support and sustain those who are "weak" in their convictions. The stronger you are in Christ, the greater your obligation to patiently help and bear with others, rather than using your knowledge for self-satisfaction.
