Exegesis
The object phrase ta asthenemata ton adynaton {τὰ ἀσθενήματα τῶν ἀδυνάτων | tà asthenḗmata tôn adynátōn} ‘the weaknesses of the weak’ combines a neuter plural noun with a genitive plural adjective, indicating the limitations that belong to, or characterize, the weak.
In context — Romans 15:1
But we who are strong are obligated to bear the weaknesses of those who are weak, and not to please ourselves.
