³² become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

²⁸ `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

¹³ wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

¹⁵ and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth `thee' to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth,

⁵ (and if any one his own house `how' to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

³ in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,

²² why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

¹³ no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

³³ as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved.

¹⁶ and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.
