²² from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

⁸ As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as `are' grave, as many as `are' righteous, as many as `are' pure, as many as `are' lovely, as many as `are' of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

³¹ Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

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

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

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

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.

¹⁷ giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

²³ and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.

¹² that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.

²⁰ avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,

²¹ providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

²⁶ Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free;

²⁷ but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'

¹⁵ Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,

⁷ from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.
