σὺπ. κ.τ.λ. π. ἔχεις = πιστεύει Romans 14:2. It is not necessary to exhibit your faith in this matter to men: to be taken with the preceding.

μακάριος κ.τ.λ. gives the final contrast between the really strong and the weak: the one with a clear conscience is to be envied (cf. James 1:25): the doubter must not claim the freedom he does not feel.

ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει. ἐν ἐκείνῳ ὃ δοκ. in the matter which he passes as right and sound; cf. 1 Corinthians 16:3; 2 Corinthians 8:22; 1 Thessalonians 2:4 (pass.).
