“For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.”
One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. — The strong (ischyro, mighty) eats panta (all things); the weak (asthenes, infirm, powerless in conviction) abstains to vegetables only. The historical context suggests Jewish dietary laws or pagan idol-meat scruples. The difference marks epistemological divide: the weak see danger; the strong see freedom.
