Don’t do anything that causes another person to trip and fall. It doesn’t matter if that person is a Jew or a Greek or a member of God’s church.

不拘是犹太人，是希腊人，是神的教会，你们都不要使他跌倒；

你们不要使犹太人、希腊人，或上帝教会中的人跌倒；

無論對猶太人、或希臘人、或聖教同人、皆須小心謹慎、莫為厲階。吾本人之所以和光同塵、舍己從人者、亦欲感化眾人、誘其歸主而已矣。

Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—

Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,

Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God.

Give no offense to Jews or Greeks or the church of God,

Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or the church of God;

Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

Give no offense to the Jews or the Greeks or the church of God,

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God,

Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

Keep watch over yourselves. Keep watch over all the believers. The Holy Spirit has made you leaders over them. Be shepherds of God’s church. He bought it with his own blood.

Let us stop judging one another. Instead, decide not to put anything in the way of a brother or sister. Don’t put anything in their way that would make them trip and fall.

So suppose what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin. Then what should I do? I will never eat meat again. In that way, I will not cause them to fall.

Then if I have to put off my visit, you will know how people should act in God’s family. The family of God is the church of the living God. It is the pillar and foundation of the truth.

Suppose someone doesn’t know how to manage his own family. Then how can he take care of God’s church?

Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? You are shaming those in the church who have nothing. Do you think so little of God’s church that you do this? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about the Lord’s Supper!

We don’t put anything in anyone’s way. So no one can find fault with our work for God.

So I always try not to do anything wrong in the eyes of God or in the eyes of people.

Follow my example. I try to please everyone in every way. I’m not looking out for what is good for me. I’m looking out for the interests of others. I do it so that they might be saved.

Then you will be able to know what is best. Then you will be pure and without blame for the day that Christ returns.
