Bible Verses About Commandments

for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat--shall not his conscience--he being infirm--be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience--in regard to Christ ye sin;

wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh--to the age--that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'

neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;

neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.

and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' --do not eat, because of that one who shewed it , and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness:

and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?

and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

let all your things be done in love.

Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself--lest thou also may be tempted;

of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

Call upon you, then, do I--the prisoner of the Lord--to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,

being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace;

be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

neither give place to the devil;

whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.
