But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.

Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.

Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees;

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

But we ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to the determining of questions of reasoning.

But knowledge is not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage. But see lest anywise this your right to eat itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.read more.
For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol? and the weak one, the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge. Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!

I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring we ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

But see lest anywise this your right to eat itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.

and the weak one, the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.
