¹⁵ And if thy brother be made sorry in conscience for meat [Soothly if thy brother be made sorry, or heavy in conscience, for meat], now thou walkest not after charity. Do not thou through thy meat destroy him [Do not through thy meat lose him], for whom Christ died.

¹⁶ Therefore be not your good thing blasphemed. [Therefore be not our good thing blasphemed, or despised.]

¹⁷ For why the realm of God is not meat and drink, but rightwiseness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
