Some translations prefer to set apart quotations of the Old Testament. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 14:10, which is a quotation from the Old Testament.
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
##### Weak in faith #####
Faith is used in Scripture to as something one can definitively possess and at the same time be "weak in" or "lack" in a given situation. In this passage, being weak in faith references Christians who were immature, lacking strength or understanding in their faith. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]])
##### Dietary restrictions #####
Dietary restrictions were important in many religions in the ancient Near East. Christians had freedom to eat what they wanted to, but they had to exercise this freedom wisely, and in a way that brought honor to the Lord and did not cause others to sin. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])
##### The Judgment Seat of God #####
The Judgment Seat of God or Christ (also known as the "Bema Seat") represents a time when Christians will be held accountable for the way they lived their lives as Christians.
