What are the first couple verses of Romans 15 doing in relation to Romans 14?
The first couple verses of Romans 15 serve as the wrap-up of Romans 14, concluding Paul’s discussion about believers who were having trouble with other believers over doubtful practices. They close out that section rather than introducing a new topic.
Les explains that after returning to Romans chapter 14, the first couple verses of chapter 15 are actually the wrap up, and he will use them to finish. He reminds the class that in chapter 14 Paul has been dealing with believers who are having trouble with other believers concerning doubtful practices. So those opening verses of Romans 15 conclude that discussion and bring the practical instruction of Romans 14 to a close.
