We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

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

We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,

We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.

We are not giving anyone an occasion for offense, so that the ministry will not be blamed.

We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

Therefore let’s not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this: not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s or sister’s way.

If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a stater. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”

Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or the church of God;just as I also please everyone in all things, not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, so that they may be saved.

To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some.

taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift;

All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things build people up.No one is to seek his own advantage, but rather that of his neighbor.

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.

For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

But take care that this freedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?For through your knowledge the one who is weak is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died.And so, by sinning against the brothers and sisters and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.
