In verse one Paul tells us to accept those who are weak and strong in their faith. We are all weak in some areas and strong in others. Our faith is strong if we can survive contact with sinners without falling into their patterns. It is weak if intentionally escape from “sinful” atmospheres in order to keep our spiritual life in check. It is always important to have a self-analysis of our spiritual state in order to identify our weakness and strengths. In areas of strength, we should not fear being defiled by the world rather we should go and serve God. In areas of weakness, we must be cautious. If we have a strong faith but shelter it, we are not doing God’s work in the world. If we have weak faith but expose it, we are being extremely foolish.

Romans 14:1
14 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.
