²² Abstain from all appearance of evil.

³ Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

³² Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

³³ Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

²⁰ Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

²¹ Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

¹⁷ Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

²³ And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

¹³ Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

¹² That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

⁷ Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
