罗马书从14章开始，保罗写出了这封信的最后一个目的，他希望罗马教会中的犹太人与外邦人能够「彼此接纳」。保罗用「信心软弱的人」与「信心刚强的人」，来形容教会里面的两群人，这两群人需要的是「彼此同心」。

在一个团体里面，不同的两群人往往会想要去「同化」对方，让对方变得跟自己一样。为了让我方成为壮大的多数，许多的小动作就从这里出来。

保罗希望罗马教会里面，不同的两群人能够「彼此同心」，而不是「彼此同化」。同心跟同化不一样，同心是为了荣耀上帝，但同化是为了成就自己。同心指的是，即使彼此有不同的地方，仍然能够「同心同声荣耀我们主耶稣基督的父上帝」。同化则是只求自己的喜悦，不顾别人的软弱。

当刚强的人与软弱的人不要试图去同化对方，而是能够彼此同心、彼此接纳的时候，所导致的结果就是「归荣耀给上帝」。否则我们所做的，只是为了同化对方而夺取了上帝的荣耀。

Starting from chapter 14 of Romans, Paul writes the final purpose of this letter. He hopes that the Jews and Gentiles in the Roman church can "accept one another." Paul uses the terms "weak in faith" and "strong in faith" to describe the two groups in the church, and he says what they need is to "be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus." (NKJV)

In a group, two different groups often want to "assimilate each other” to make the other group like themselves. Many small actions come from here to make our side become a strong majority.

Paul hopes that the two different groups in the Roman church can "be like-minded toward one another" instead of "assimilating each other.” Being like-minded and assimilation are different; being like-minded is aimed at glorifying God, while assimilation is aimed at fulfilling oneself. Being like-minded means that even if there are differences, we may still "with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Assimilation is only seeking one's own pleasure and disregarding others' weaknesses.

When the two parties of "weak in faith" and "strong in faith" do not attempt to assimilate each other but accept one another, the result is "glory to God." Otherwise, what we do is only taking away God's glory to assimilate each other.
