Nevertheless, lest we should offend them: go to the sea and cast in thine angle, and take the fish that first cometh up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twelve pence that take and pay for me and thee.
But whosoever offend one of these little ones, which believe in me: it were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
so that not only this our craft cometh into peril to be set at nought: but that also the temple of great Diana should be despised. And her majesty should be destroyed, which all Asia, and the world worshippeth.
Let us not therefore, judge one another any more. ¶ But judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
If other be part takers of this power over you? wherefore are not we rather. ¶ Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospell of Christ.
¶ Our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we with out doubleness, but with godly pureness: not in fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, have had our conversation in the world, and most of all to youwards.
