Duty » To brethren » To the weak
To the overscrupulous I have become overscrupulous, so as to win the overscrupulous; I have become everything to everybody, so as by all means to save some of them.
We beg you, brothers, warn the idlers, cheer up the despondent, keep hold of the weak, be patient with everybody.
I showed you in every way that by hard work like that we must help those who are weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, for he said, 'It makes one happier to give than to be given to.' "
It is the duty of us who are strong to put up with the weaknesses of those who are immature, and not just suit ourselves.
For when I was hungry, you gave me food, when I was thirsty you gave me something to drink, when I was a stranger, you invited me to your homes, when I had no clothes, you gave me clothes, when I was sick, you looked after me, when I was in prison, you came to see me.'
Treat people who are overscrupulous in their faith like brothers; do not criticize their views.
For this overscrupulous brother, for whom Christ died, is ruined by what you call your knowledge.
