μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
Τὸ λοιπόν ἀδελφοί ὅσα ἐστὶν ἀληθῆ ὅσα σεμνά ὅσα δίκαια ὅσα ἁγνά ὅσα προσφιλῆ ὅσα εὔφημα εἴ τις ἀρετὴ καὶ εἴ τις ἔπαινος ταῦτα λογίζεσθε·
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
στελλόμενοι τοῦτο μή τις ἡμᾶς μωμήσηται ἐν τῇ ἁδρότητι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφ' ἡμῶν·
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
εἴτε οὖν ἐσθίετε εἴτε πίνετε εἴτε τι ποιεῖτε πάντα εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ ποιεῖτε
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων·
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
מִדְּבַר-שֶׁקֶר תִּרְחָק וְנָקִי וְצַדִּיק אַֽל-תַּהֲרֹג כִּי לֹֽא-אַצְדִּיק רָשָֽׁע׃
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
διόπερ εἰ βρῶμα σκανδαλίζει τὸν ἀδελφόν μου οὐ μὴ φάγω κρέα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἵνα μὴ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου σκανδαλίσω
Wherefore, if meat make my to brother offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
οὓς δὲ ἐν φόβῳ σῴζετε ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς ἁρπάζοντες μισοῦντες καὶ τὸν ἀπὸ τῆς σαρκὸς ἐσπιλωμένον χιτῶνα
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
ἵνα περιπατῆτε εὐσχημόνως πρὸς τοὺς ἔξω καὶ μηδενὸς χρείαν ἔχητε
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
הֹלֵךְ צְדָקוֹת וְדֹבֵר מֵֽישָׁרִים מֹאֵס בְּבֶצַע מַעֲשַׁקּוֹת נֹעֵר כַּפָּיו מִתְּמֹךְ בַּשֹּׁחַד אֹטֵם אָזְנוֹ מִשְּׁמֹעַ דָּמִים וְעֹצֵם עֵינָיו מֵרְאוֹת בְּרָֽע׃
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος Ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἄραγε ἐλεύθεροί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοί
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
