Weak

It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb;

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.

“Behold you have admonished many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.

Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.

Like a shepherd He will tend His flock,
In His arm He will gather the lambs
And carry them in His bosom;
He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

“A bruised reed He will not break
And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish;
He will faithfully bring forth justice.

Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost; but with force and with severity you have dominated them.

For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.

“A battered reed He will not break off,
And a smoldering wick He will not put out,
Until He

leads

justice to victory.

Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

Receive

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

Doubtful disputations

One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
