For, the love of the Christ, constraineth us; - Having judged this, - that, one, in behalf of all, died, hence, they all, died; and, in behalf of all, died he, - in order that, they who live, no longer for themselves, should live, but for him who, in their behalf, died and rose again.

I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus - that, nothing, is profane of itself, - save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, it is profane, If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: - do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died!

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit; For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men. Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another: Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, - Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor to do aught whereby thy brother is caused to stumble. The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth; But, he that is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself, - because, it was not of faith, and, everything which is not of faith, is sin.

Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware - because we, all, have knowledge, - knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up; If anyone thinketh that he knoweth anything, not yet knoweth he, as he must needs come to know, But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him - read more.
Concerning, then, the eating of idol-sacrifices, we are aware - that an idol is, nothing, in the world, and that, none, is God save one. For, if indeed there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, - as indeed there are gods many and lords many, Yet, to us, there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and, we, for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and, we, through him. Howbeit, not in all, is the knowledge; but, some, by their familiarity, until even now, with the idol, as an idol-sacrifice, eat it, and, their conscience, being, weak, is defiled. Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God, - neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound. But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak; For, if anyone should see theewho hast knowledge, in an idol-temple, reclining, will not, his conscience, being, weak, be built up for the eating of the idol-sacrifices? In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge - the brother for whose sake Christ died. But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning. Therefore, if food is an occasion of stumbling unto my brother, in nowise will I eat flesh unto the age that abideth, - that, I may not occasion, my brother, to stumble.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry, - As, to prudent men, I speak, - judge, ye, what I say: - The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together of the body of the Christ? read more.
Because, one loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake. Be looking at Israel after the flesh: - are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar? What, then, am I saying? - that, an idol-sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything? On the contrary - that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the demons! Ye cannot be drinking - a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table of the Lord, and a table of demons. Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he? All things are allowable - but, not all things, are profitable, - all things are allowable - but, not all things, upbuild. Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else. Whatsoever, in the market, is sold, eat, - asking no question, for conscience sake; For, unto the Lord, belongeth the earth, and the fullness thereof. If one of them who believe not invite you, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, - asking no question, for conscience sake. But, if anyone should say unto you, - This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man's sake who disclosed it, and for conscience sake: - But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other's, - for why is my freedom to be judged by another's conscience? If, I, with gratitude, partake, why am I to be defamed, as to that for which, I, give thanks? Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do, all things to the glory of God. Give no occasion of stumbling - whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God: Even as, I also, in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

And, as for the sons of the foreigner - Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants, - Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on my covenant, Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar, - For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the peoples!

Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might hallow the people through means of his own blood, outside the gate, suffered: Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing. For we have not here an abiding city, but, unto that which is to be, are we seeking our way. read more.
Through him, let us be offering up a sacrifice of praise, continually, unto God; that is, a fruit of lips confessing unto his name. But, of the doing good and of fellowship, be not forgetful; for, with such sacrifices as these, is, God, well-pleased.

So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh: Abel, also, even, he, brought in of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat, and Yahweh approved of Abel and of his present; but of Cain and his present, he approved not, - and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell. read more.
So then Yahweh said unto Cain, - Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath thy countenance fallen? Shall it not, if thou do right, be lifted up? But if thou do not right, at the entrance a sin-bearer is lying, - Unto thee, moreover, shall be his longing, though, thou, rule over him.

Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons; And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed; And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings. read more.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance. So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them; And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand. Many times, did he rescue them, - But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.

and shalt say, - Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem, - Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts - God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to tingle: Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other gods, which neither they, nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah, have known; And have filled this place with the blood of innocents; And have built the high places of Baal for burning up their sons in the fire as ascending-sacrifices to Baal, - Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart, read more.
Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer The Topheth, or The Valley of Ben-hinnom, - but - The Valley of Slaughter; And I will pour out the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, And I will cause them to fall by the sword, before their enemies, and by the hand of them who seek their life, - And I will give their dead bodies for food, to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth; And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing, - every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and hiss over all her wounds; And I will suffer them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, yea every one - the flesh of his friend, will they eat, - in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith, their enemies, and they who seek their lives, will straiten them. Then shalt thou break the bottle, before the eyes of the men who are walking with thee; and shalt say unto them - Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts - Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more, - And in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place to bury. Thus, will I do to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, - Even making this city like Topheth: Yea, the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall like the place of Topheth, be places defiled, - even all the houses upon whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods. Then entered Jeremiah out of Topheth, whither Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, - and stood in the court of the house of Yahweh, and said unto all the people: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! brining in against this city, and upon all the cities thereof, The whole calamity which I have pronounced against her, - Because they stiffened their neck, that they might not hear my words.

And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, - Causing, Judah, to sin! Now therefore, because of this, - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, - Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:

Then said Samuel - Doth that which is pleasing unto Yahweh consist in ascending-offerings and sacrifices, So much as in hearkening unto the voice of Yahweh? Lo! to hearken, is, better, than, sacrifice. And, to give heed, than, the fat of rams;

And one of the Scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing, seeing that, well, he had answered them, began to question him - Which is the chief commandment of all? Jesus answered - The chief is: Hear! O Israel, - The Lord our God, is, one Lord; Therefore shalt thou love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, - and with all thy mind; and with all thy strength. read more.
The second, is, this - Thou shalt love, thy neighbour, as thyself. Greater than these, other commandment, is there none. The Scribe said unto him - Well, Teacher! in truth, hast thou said - He is, One, and there is none other, than he; And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding, - and with all the might; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Thus, saith Yahweh, The, heavens, are my throne, and The earth, is my footstool: Where then is the house which ye can build me? Or where is my place of rest? For, all these things, hath mine own hand made, And all these things came into being, - Declareth Yahweh. But for this one, will I look around, For him who is humbled and smitten in spirit, And so careth anxiously for my word. He that slaughtereth an ox, is as one who smiteth a man, He that sacrificeth a lamb, is as one who beheadeth a dog, he that causeth a meal-offering to ascend, offereth it with the blood of swine, He that maketh a memorial of frankincense, is as one who blesseth iniquity: They indeed, have chosen their own ways, And in their own abominations, their soul hath found delight; read more.
I, also, will choose the things that vex them. And the things they dread, will I bring upon them, Because - I called and there was none to answer, I spake, and they hearkened not, - But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, made choice.

Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone away unchastely from beside thy God, - thou hast loved a present, upon all the threshing-floors of corn! Threshing-floor and wine-vat, will not feed them, and, new wine, will deny them. They shall not dwell in the land of Yahweh, but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and, in Assyria - that which is unclean, shall they eat. read more.

And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders, - and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands - saying with a loud voice - Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying - Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages!

With the length of thy journey, thou wast wearied, Thou didst not say, Hopeless! The reviving of thy power, thou didst find, For this cause, hast thou not become sick. Whom then hadst thou been anxious about and feared that thou shouldest speak falsely, When me, thou rememberedst not, caredst not for me? Did not, I, keep silence even from age-past times, Although me, thou wouldest not fear? I, will expose thy righteousness, - And thy works - but they will not profit thee! When thou makest outcry, let thy gathered throngs deliver thee! But all of them, shall A wind, catch up - A breath, take away! Whereas he that seeketh refuge in me, Shall inherit the land, And possess my holy mountain.

The sacrifice of lawless men, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, the prayer of the upright, is his delight.

The sacrifice of the lawless, is an abomination, how much more, when, with wickedness, he bringeth it in!
