Exegesis
The genitive dialogismōn {διαλογισμῶν | dialogismôn} depends on diakriseis, indicating the sphere or content of these distinctions, namely “reasonings, opinions, scruples.” Thus the syntax contrasts an open, welcoming stance toward the weak with an avoidance of turning that welcome into an arena for contentious debate. English word order mirrors the Greek focus by fronting the description “the one who is weak in the faith,” followed by the central command “welcome,” and then the limiting clause that guards the manner and purpose of that welcome.
