“That You may be justified in Your words,
And prevail when You are judged.”

For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.
