We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not please ourselves.

When someone is weak, then I feel weak too; when someone is led into sin, I am filled with distress.

My friends, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right; but you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too.

Just do as I do; I try to please everyone in all that I do, not thinking of my own good, but of the good of all, so that they might be saved.

I am a free man, nobody's slave; but I make myself everybody's slave in order to win as many people as possible.

How can you be sure, Christian wife, that you will not save your husband? Or how can you be sure, Christian husband, that you will not save your wife?

Perhaps I can make the people of my own race jealous, and so be able to save some of them.
