Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 15:7

7. Wherefore receive ye one another , as Christ also received us , to the glory of God .

vid. chap. 14.1, 3. He ends this discourse with the same terms, in which he began it. Before, the strong only were charged to receive the weak, but here both are charged alike; the strong must receive the weak, and the weak the strong; they must all have communion one with another, continuing in brotherly love, accounting one another for Brethren, exercising mutual forbearance and long-suffering.

i. e. After the Example of Christ, who beareth with the infirmities of his followers, putting no difference betwixt Iewes and Gentiles. The particle as noteth quality, not equality; there is no proportion betwixt the infinite Love of Christ, and the scanty charity of man. See the like, Mat. 5.48. Eph. 5.2.

Some joyn this with the former clause, that we should receive one another to the glory of God. God is glorified by that brotherly love and concord that is amongst his People: Others joyn it with the latter clause, That Christ hath received us to the Glory [illegible: 1 letter]f God. i. e. To make us partakers of the glory of God, or to declare and manifest the glory of God's truth to the Jewes, and mercy to the Gentiles, as he sheweth in the following Verses.
