Exegesis
The relative clause en hō dokimazei {ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει | en hō̂ do-ki-má-zei} defines the scope of self-assessment, “in what he approves,” using dokimazei with its nuance of testing and accepting. The Greek frames personal responsibility within the accountability to God, balancing freedom of conscience with divine scrutiny.
In context — Romans 14:22
You, the faith that you have, keep to yourself before God . Blessed is the one who does not judge himself in what he approves.
