If I say, I will speak thus; Behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
This is the generation of them that seek him, That seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
A seed shall serve him; It shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation.
There were they in great fear: For God is in the generation of the righteous.
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.
