3 giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;
3 in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
3 giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
3 Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
