rwp@
Romans:14:4 @{Who art thou?} (\su tis ei?\). Proleptic position of \su\, "thou who art thou?" {The servant of another} (\allotrion oiketn\). Not another (\allon\) servant (household servant, \oiketn\), but "another's servant." For the adjective \allotrios\, see strkjv@Luke:16:12; strkjv@2Corinthians:10:15f|. {Shall be made to stand} (\stathsetai\). Future passive of \histmi\. In spite of your sharp criticisms of one another. {Hath power} (\dunatei\). Verb found only in Paul (2Corinthians:9:8; strkjv@13:3; strkjv@Romans:14:4|), from verbal adjective \dunatos\.
rwp@Romans:15:20 @{Yea} (\houts de\). "And so," introducing a limitation to the preceding statement. {Making it my aim} (\philotimoumenon\). Present middle participle (accusative case agreeing with \me\) of \philotimeomai\, old verb, to be fond of honour (\philos, tim\). In N.T. only here and strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:11; strkjv@2Corinthians:5:9|. A noble word in itself, quite different in aim from the Latin word for {ambition} (\ambio\, to go on both sides to carry one's point). {Not where} (\ouch hopou\). Paul was a pioneer preacher pushing on to new fields after the manner of Daniel Boone in Kentucky. {That I might now build upon another man's foundation} (\hina m ep' allotrion themelion oikodom\). For \allotrios\ (not \allos\) see strkjv@14:4|. For \themelion\, see strkjv@Luke:6:48f.; strkjv@1Corinthians:3:11|. This noble ambition of Paul's is not within the range of some ministers who can only build on another's foundation as Apollos did in Corinth. But the pioneer preacher and missionary has a dignity and glory all his own.
