Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Who are you to judge someone else's employee? They answer to their own boss, not you, whether they succeed or mess up is between them and their manager. And honestly, they're going to be just fine because God has the power to help them stand strong.
Stay in your lane, everyone answers to God, not you, and he's got them covered.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the early Christian church in Rome was grappling with divisions over Jewish customs and practices, such as dietary laws and the observance of special days, which created tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to encourage unity and caution against judging others on these secondary issues that were not central to the gospel. He reminds them that each person is ultimately accountable to God as their master, who alone determines their standing.
