“Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.”
Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, they stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. — The rhetorical shift: oikeios doulos (household servant) is answerable to their own kyrios (master), not to fellow servants. God is Lord (kyrios) of both strong and weak. Stēmi (stand) twice emphasizes steadiness before the ultimate judge. God's power (dunatos) ensures standing.
