There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight the paths of our God.

Go through My gates, and make a way for My people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.

Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be humbled; the crooked roads shall become straight, and the rough [roads] shall become smooth;

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"

Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block or an offense before our brother.

but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness,

But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will by no means eat meat, lest I cause my brother to stumble.

Be without offense, both toward Jews and toward Greeks, and toward the church of God,

just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.

We give no occasion for offense in anything, lest the ministry be blamed,

and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed.
