I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,

But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I do not cause my brother to stumble.

But I have used none of these things, and I do not write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.

The eye cannot tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
