Malachi 2:8

"How is it that your disciples break the traditions of our ancestors? For they do not wash their hands when they eat food."

Here one of the Students of the Law interrupted him by saying: "Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also."

Perhaps you are confident that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in the dark, an instructor of the unintelligent,

The right course is to abstain from meat or wine or, indeed, anything that is a stumbling-block to your Brother.

Be careful, Brothers, that there is never found in any one of you a wicked and faithless heart, shown by his separating himself from the Living God.
