to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.
