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.

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

But whoso shall 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.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
