1 Corinthians10:32
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles nor to the church of God :
We use to say, that men are offended when they are grieved or anger'd; but these offences are not here meant (as appears by the Greek Phrase, [non-Latin text not transcribed]) but give no occasion of sin or stumbling. This care he commands us, with reference to all men; for at that time all the World fell under one of these denominations, they were either Iews, or Gentiles (that is, Heathens) or the Church of God (that is, Christians) it was always an hard matter, if not a thing impossible, for Christians to carry themselves so, as not to anger those that were no Christians; but it was not impossible for them so to behave themselves, as not to be to them any just occasion of sin:
Much less ought conscientious Christians to give offence to Christians, that made up the Church of God, and were with them Members of the same mystical Body, of which Christ is the Head.
