⁴ not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

²⁴ Let no man seek his own, but `each' his neighbor's `good'.

¹ Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

⁸ Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

⁶ But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and `that' he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

²² Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

²³ and those `parts' of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely `parts' have more abundant comeliness;

²⁴ whereas our comely `parts' have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that `part' which lacked;

²⁵ that there should be no schism in the body; but `that' the members should have the same care one for another.

²⁶ And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or `one' member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

³² Give no occasions of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

³³ even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the `profit' of the many, that they may be saved.

¹⁵ Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

¹⁹ So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

²⁰ Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

²¹ It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor `to do anything' whereby thy brother stumbleth.

²² The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?

³ giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

⁴ Love suffereth long, `and' is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;

⁹ But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.

¹⁰ For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

¹¹ For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

¹² And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.

¹³ Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.
