<p>14:16 <i>So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil- </i>'Spoken of as evil' is literally 'blasphemed'. The Greek word can be used of bad speaking against a person and not only against God. Paul uses the same word in this very context in 1 Cor. 10:30: &quot;If I eat my food with thankfulness, why is evil spoken of me, for that for which I give thanks?&quot;. By allowing continual argument about the food issue, persons and things such as pork meat started to be spoken evil of. This is exactly why Paul wisely commands that those who have these 'weak' positions should be accepted but not argued with (:1).</p>
