Romans 14:16

Your good. This probably refers to the stronger faith, greater knowledge, and fuller freedom enjoyed by the stronger believers (see 1 Cor. 8:9-11; 10:30).

Be evil spoken of. Gr. blasphemed, “to blaspheme.” Compare the use of this word in Rom. 3:8; 1 Cor. 10:30. The strong man should not let the selfish use of his liberty give occasion to those “weak in the faith” (Rom. 14:1) to condemn and speak evil of something that to him is a good thing and a blessing. He should beware lest he give any cause for others to reproach him for the harm his personal conduct may have brought to some overscrupulous brother. See on 1 Cor. 8:7-13.
