Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 14:4

4. Who art thou that judgest another mans servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth : Yea he shall be holden up: For God is able to make him stand .

A sharp reprehension of the forementioned evil. You have the like, Iames 4.12. q. d. This Phrase is repugnant not only to the Law of God, but to the very Law of Nature, that tell us, that one Man must not condemn the Servant of another, over whom he hath no right or power, much less may any Man condemn him that is the Lords Servant: Every Christian hath Christ alone for his own, or his proper Master; and it is his Judgment by which he must abide; it is to him that he standeth or falleth, that he doth well or ill.

q. d. If (as thou thinkest) he be fallen or falling, he shall be upheld and supported; For God is able, &c. But how doth this follow, because God can make him stand, therefore he shall be holden up? A. It is a Rule in Divinity, that in all Gods Promises, his power is joyned with his Will; so that where the latter is once revealed, there is no question of the former: Now of the word of God in this matter, there was no doubt; for he had said, v. 3. That God had received him. You had the like way of Arguing, chap. 11.23. where the Apostle proves the calling of the Iewes, by an Argument taken from the power of God, because he is able to graft them in again. vid. chap. 4.21. Heb. 10.23.
