Romans 15:2

Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying.

'Each one of us' -this applies to all Christians.

The command of verse. applies to every Christian. 'The weak one may indeed be. man of outstanding character and faith in all other areas and the strong may be weak in many other areas. The principle is true that the strong (in any area) ought to bear the infirmities of the weak (in any area).' (McGuiggan p. 410)

'please his neighbor for that which is good' -"for that which is good", reminds us that this "pleasing", doesn't refer to allowing. brother to remain in sin, or tolerating the evil practices of another Christian. (1 Corinthians 5:1) 'Not to please men just for popular favors, but for their benefit.' (Robertson p. 417)

'unto edifying' -'where it serves. good purpose by building up his faith' (Knox); 'for good ends, to build him up' (Con); 'to help him grow.' (Beck); 'and help in his development' (Gspd). 'Good' here is defined as that which promotes the spiritual advancement of another. This isn't "men-pleasing" (Ephesians 6:6), but rather pleasing. neighbor in. way that pleases God. The same truth is taught in Romans 14:19 and 1 Corinthians 10:33.

'The only objection that the strong can urge against yielding to the weak is that to do so involves them in great sacrifice. In answer to this argument Paul sets forth the example of Christ. How can he that is self-pleasing and that shrinks from sacrifice, make claim to be the disciple and follower of the One whose life was the supreme self-sacrifice of the annals of all time?'
