Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

'Set at nought' -1848. exoutheneo ex-oo-then-eh'-o;. variation of 1847 and meaning the same: -contemptible, despise, least esteemed, set at nought.

-'regard with contempt' (NASV)

'eateth not' -the herb eating brother

'judge' -2919. krino kree'-no; properly, to distinguish, i.e. decide (mentally or judicially); by implication, to try, condemn, punish: -avenge, conclude, condemn, damn, decree, determine, esteem, judge, go to (sue at the) law, ordain, call in question, sentence to, think.

THE SECOND MAIN POINT THAT THIS CHAPTER CANNOT BE DEALING WITH DOCTRINAL ISSUES, RIGHT AND WRONG, AND SIN, IS BECAUSE NO 'JUDGING IS ALLOWED'.

In this chapter there is to be 'no judging, arguing, disputing, condemning, CENSURING': But in cases of 'sin' one must judge!

Romans 16:17 Now. beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.

'Mark' -4648. skopeo skop-eh'-o; from 4649; to take aim at (spy), i.e. (figuratively) regard: -consider, take heed, look at (on), mark. Compare 3700.
