One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
23
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin. (14:24) Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, (14:25) but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; (14:26) to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.

However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
11
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
C'est ici une seconde pratique au sujet de laquelle les chrétiens de Rome différaient d'opinion et devaient apprendre à se supporter.
Il s'agit du sabbat, des nouvelles lunes et d'autres fêtes auxquelles des chrétiens convertis du judaïsme ne pouvaient se résoudre à renoncer.
L'apôtre ne se prononce pas entre les deux pratiques opposées pour condamner absolument l'une et approuver l'autre sans réserve. Il veut que chacun soit libre d'agir selon sa conscience, sans être jugé par les autres.
Tout ce qu'il demande, c'est que chacun soit pleinement persuadé, pour ne pas agir sous l'impulsion d'autrui ou sous le joug de traditions qu'il suivrait sans réfléchir. Il sait qu'en cherchant à se faire une conviction personnelle, éclairée par l'Esprit de Dieu, le faible s'affranchira graduellement de ses préjugés, de ses vains scrupules, et acquerra une connaissance toujours plus complète de l'Evangile, par laquelle il sera mis en possession des privilèges de la liberté chrétienne.
