¹³ Therefore let us stop passing judgment^(A) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.^(B)

³ He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.^(A)

¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy^[a](A) met him. They stood at a distance^{(B) 13} and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,^(C) have pity on us!”

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”^(D) And as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God^(E) in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.^(F)

¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”^(G)

⁹ Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block^(A) to the weak.^{(B) 10} For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?^{(C) 11} So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed^(D) by your knowledge. ¹² When you sin against them^(E) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.^{(F) 13} Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.^(G)

²⁵ Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown^(A) that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.^(B)

⁶ Do not be anxious about anything,^(A) but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.^(B)

⁵ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;^{(A) 6} and to knowledge, self-control;^(B) and to self-control, perseverance;^(C) and to perseverance, godliness;^(D)

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins^(A) and purify us from all unrighteousness.^(B)
