^32 (A)Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

^28 (A)Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit ^(B)has made you overseers, to shepherd the church ^[a]of God ^(C)which He purchased ^(D)with His own blood.

¹³ Therefore let us not judge one another ^[a]anymore, but rather resolve this, ^(A)not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

³³ just ^(A)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

¹⁵ but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ^[a]ground of the truth.

¹³ Therefore, ^(A)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

⁵ (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

^3 (A)We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

²² What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise ^(A)the church of God and ^(B)shame ^[a]those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

^16 (A)This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.
