²² Keep from every form of evil.

⁸ For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.

³¹ So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

³² Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

³³ Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

³ Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;

¹³ For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

¹⁷ Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

²³ And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

¹² That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

²⁰ And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

²¹ For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

²⁶ And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

²⁷ But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

¹⁵ He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;

⁷ Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
