In Rom 14-15 Paul promotes an inclusive ethic by advising the strong (mainly Gentile Christians) to make allowances for certain Jewish practices performed by the weak (mainly Jewish Christians) in order to unify the Roman Christian community through a non-divisive social environment so as to advance his broader vision for the unity of Jewish and Gentile Christians and to encourage an outward mission to non-Christians in Rome. This inclusive ethic also is rooted in Rom 11, which argues that Gentile Christians are obligated to Christian and non-Christian Jews, and adapted from 1 Cor 8-10, which previously developed Paul's principle of accommodation.weiterlesen
