5. The Book of Romans
Our Goal
“The Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.
Ang Ating Mithiin. “Ang Sulat ay talagang pangunahing bahagi ng Bagong Tipan, at ang pinakadalisay na Ebanghelyo, at nararapat na di lang kelangang malaman ng bawat Kristiyano ito nang buumbuo at isinasaulo, kundi maging abala rito araw-araw, bilang pang-araw-araw na tinapay ng kaluluwa.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.

Pamumuhay Kristiyano

7. Christian Living
Key Text
Romans 14:10
“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
Susing Talata. “Bakit mo hinahatulan ang iyong kapatid? O bakit hinahamak mo ang iyong kapatid? Sapagkat tayong lahat ay tatayo sa harapan ng hukuman ni Cristo” (Roma 14:10).

8. Christian Living
Initial Words
“What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). In Romans, we got the answer to that question—and the answer was not what the church was giving at the time of Luther. Hence, the Reformation.
In this last section, Paul touches on other topics not as central to his main theme, yet important enough to be included. Thus, they are sacred Scripture as well.
Panimulang Salita. “Ano ang kailangan kong gawin upang maligtas?” (Gawa 16:30). Nakuha natin ang sagot sa tanong na ‘yon sa Mga Taga-Roma,—at ang sagot ay hindi yung ibinibigay ng iglesya sa kapanahunan ni Luther. Kaya, ang Repormasyon. ¶ Sa huling bahaging ito, pinatutungkulan ni Pablo ang ibang paksa na hindi kasingsentro sa kanyang pangunahing tema, gayunma’y sapat na mahalaga para maisama. Kaya, ang mga ito’y banal na Kasulatan din naman.

1. Principles of Christian Liberty—1
Romans 14:1, 10 NKJV
“Receive one who is weak in the
faith, but not to disputes over
doubtful things. But why do you
judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
1. Mga Prinsipyo ng Kalayaang Kristiyano—1. “Ang mahina sa pananampalataya ay tanggapin ninyo, hindi upang mag-away tungkol sa mga kuro-kuro. Bakit mo hinahatulan ang iyong kapatid? O bakit hinahamak mo ang iyong kapatid? ¶ Sapagkat tayong lahat ay tatayo sa harapan ng hukuman ni Cristo” (Roma 14:1, 10).

11. Principles of Christian Liberty—1
The Weak in Faith
The issue had nothing to do with vegetarianism and healthful living. Nor is Paul implying in this passage that the distinction between clean and unclean meats has been abolished.
If the words “he may eat all things” (Rom. 14:2) were taken to mean that now any animal, clean or otherwise, could be eaten, they would be misapplied.
Ang Mahina sa Pananampalataya. Ang isyu ay walang kinalaman sa behetaryanismo at pamumuhay na nakabubuti sa kalusugan. Ni ipinapahiwatig ni Pablo sa siping ito na inalis na ang pagkakaiba ng malinis at karumaldumal na karne. ¶ Kung ang mga salitang “maaring kainin niya ang lahat ng bagay” (Roma 14:2) ay ipakahulugang ngayon ay maaari nang kainin ang anumang hayop, malinis o hindi, ang paggamit nito ay hindi tama.

12. Principles of Christian Liberty—1
The Weak in Faith
To “receive” one weak in the faith is to accord him or her full membership and social status. The person was not to be argued with but given the right to his or her opinion. Paul does not speak negatively of the one “weak in the faith.”
Nor does he give advice as to how to become strong. So far as God is con-cerned, the overscrupulous is accepted.
Para “tanggapin” ang isang mahina sa pananampalataya ay yung bigyan siya ng lubos na pagiging kaanib at katayuang sosyal. Hindi dapat na makipagtalo sa kanya kundi mabigyan ng karapatan sa kanyang opinyon. Hindi nagsasabi si Pablo ng negatibo sa isa na “mahina sa pananampalataya.” ¶ Ni nagbibigay siya ng payo sa kung paano maging matibay. Para sa Diyos, tinatanggap ang sobrang metikoloso.

13. We might fool ourselves by our hypocrisy, but not God.
Principles of Christian Liberty—1
Before the Judgment Seat
We tend to judge others harshly at times, and often for the same things that we ourselves do.
What we do doesn’t seem as bad to
us as when others do the same thing.
We might fool ourselves by our hypocrisy, but not God.
Sa Harapan ng Hukuman. Kung minsan tayo ay nakahilig na humatol nang buong lupit sa iba, at madalas para sa parehong ginagawa natin mismo. ¶ Ang ginagawa natin sa ating tingin ay tila hindi kasingsama gaya kung ang iba ang gagawa ng parehong bagay. ¶ Maaring lokohin natin ang ating sarili sa pamamagitan ng ating pagkukunwari, pero hindi ang Diyos.

14. Principles of Christian Liberty—1
Before the Judgment Seat
The subject is still foods sacrificed to idols, not the distinction between the foods deemed clean and unclean.
Paul is saying that there is nothing wrong per se in eating foods that might have been offered to idols.
A person should not be made to violate his or her conscience, even if the conscience is overly sensitive.
Ang paksa ay tungkol pa rin sa mga pagkaing inihandog sa mga diyus-diyosan, hindi ang pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng mga pagkaing sinabing malinis at karumaldumal. ¶ Sinasabi ni Pablo na walang anumang mali mismo sa pagkain ng maaaring naihandog sa mga diyus-diyosan. ¶ Ang isang tao ay hindi dapat pinalalabag sa kanyang konsensya, kahit na ang konsensya ay sobrang sensitibo.

15. “One person esteems one day above
Christian Living
2. Principles of Christian Liberty—2
Romans 14:5, 6, 15 NKJV
“One person esteems one day above
another; another esteems every day alike. … He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord….
Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer
walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one whom Christ died.”
2. Mga Prinsipyo ng Kalayaang Kristiyano—2. “May taong nagpapahalaga sa isang araw nang higit kaysa iba, ngunit may iba namang nagpapahalaga sa bawat araw. ... Ang nagpapahalaga sa araw ay nagpapahalaga nito sa Panginoon.... ¶ Kung dahil sa pagkain ay nasasaktan ang kalooban ng iyong kapatid, hindi ka na lumalakad ayon sa pag-ibig. Huwag mong ipahamak dahil sa iyong pagkain ang mga taong alang-alang sa kanila ay namatay si Cristo” (Roma 14:5, 6, 15).

16. 2. Principles of Christian Liberty—2
No Offense
Although diet is important, Christians should not quarrel over some people’s choices to eat vegetables instead of flesh meats that might have been sacrificed to idols. Not everyone sees this subject the same way, and we need to respect those differences.
They ought to focus on righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Hindi Gagawa ng Katitisuran. Bagaman mahalaga ang pagkain nang tama, dapat ay hindi mag-aaway ang mga Kristiyano tungkol sa pamimili ng ilan na kumain ng gulay sa halip ng mga karneng maaaring naihain sa mga diyus-diyosan. Hindi lahat ay nakikita itong paksa sa parehong paraan, at kelangan nating igalang ang ganung pagkakaiba-iba. ¶ Dapat silang magpokus sa katwiran, kapayapaan at kaligayahan sa Banal na Espiritu.

17. “It is none of anyone’s business what
2. Principles of Christian Liberty—2
Giving No Offense
“It is none of anyone’s business what
I eat or what I wear or what kind of entertainment I engage in.”
Is that so? Our actions, words, deeds, and even diet can affect others, either for good or for bad.
As Christians, we have responsibilities to one another, and if our example can lead someone astray, we are culpable.
“Wala bang pakialam kahit sino kung ano ang aking kinakain o isinusuot o anumang uri ng aliwan ang pinapasok ko?” ¶ Ganon ba? Ang ating mga kilos, salita, gawa at kahit kinakain ay makakaapekto sa iba, alinman sa kabutihan o sa kasamaan. ¶ Bilang mga Kristiyano, tayo ay may responsibilidad sa isa’t isa, at kung ang ating halimbawa ay magpapahamak ng iba, tayo ay mananagot.

18. Paul’s counsel is: let them do it if they are persuaded they should.
2. Principles of Christian Liberty—2
Observance of Days
Apparently some Christians, to be on the safe side, decided to observe one or more of the Jewish festivals.
Paul’s counsel is: let them do it
if they are persuaded they should.
The important point is not to judge those who view the matter differently from you.
Pagdiriwang ng Mga Araw. May mga Kristiyano, para nakakaseguro, ay nagpasya na ipagdiwang ang isa o higit pang Judiong kapistahan. ¶ Ang payo ni Pablo ay: bayaan silang gawin ito kung sila’y kumbinsidong dapat nilang gawin ito. ¶ Ang mahalagang punto ay hindi hahatulan yung nakikita ang mga bagay na kakaiba kaysa sa ‘yo.

Romans 15:1, 2 NKJV
“We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for good, leading to edification.”
3. Mga Pagsasakatuparan ng Kalayaang Kristiyano. “Tayong malalakas ay nararapat magtiis sa kahinaan ng mahihina, at hindi upang magbigay-lugod sa ating mga sarili. Bawat isa sa atin ay magbigay-lugod sa kanyang kapwa para sa kanyang kabutihan, tungo sa ikatitibay niya” (Roma 15:1, 2).

Practices of Christian Liberty
Questions to Ponder
What important Christian truth is found in Romans 15:1-3?
In what way does this passage capture so much of what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
How can you, yourself, live out this principle?
Mga Pag-iisipang Tanong. Anong mahalagang katotohanang Kristiyano ang makikita sa Roma 15:1-3? ¶ Sa anong paraan na ang mga talatang ito’y lubhang nakuha ang kung ano ang kahulugan ng magiging tagasunod ni Jesus? ¶ Paano mo mismong isasakabuhayan ang prinsipyong ito?

Christian Living
Final Words
“To God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.” Rom. 16:27
Paul ends in a glorious ascription
of praise to God. God is the one in
whom the Roman Christians, and all Christians, can safely put their trust to confirm their standing as redeemed sons and daughters of God, justified by faith and now led by the Spirit of God.
Huling Pananalita. “Sa iisang Diyos na marunong, sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo, sumakanya ang kaluwalhatian magpakailanman. Amen.” Roma 16:27. ¶ Nagtatapos si Pablo sa isang maluwalhating pag-uukol ng papuri sa Diyos. Ang Diyos ang Siyang puwedeng pagtiwalaan ng mga Kristiyanong taga-Roma, at ng lahat ng mga Kristiyano, para patibayin ang kanilang katayuan bilang mga tinubos na anak na lalaki’t babae ng Diyos, inaring-ganap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya at ngayon ay inaakay ng Espiritu ng Diyos.
