Romans 14:14 — Paul says he is persuaded 'in the Lord Jesus' that nothing is unclean in itself, echoing Mark 7:19 and Luke 11:41
Paul explicitly attributes a specific conviction to Jesus's authority, pointing to his awareness of Jesus's actual teachings.
Romans 14:14 reads: 'I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself.' Mike links this to Mark 7:18-19 where Jesus declares all foods clean, and Luke 11:41 where Jesus tells the Pharisees 'everything is clean for you.' The phrase 'persuaded in the Lord Jesus' signals Paul is drawing on an authoritative tradition from Jesus himself, not generating his own opinion.
