Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, 10) namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law. II 2 And this, knowing the season, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep for now is salvation 12 nearer to us than when we first believed. "The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. "Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wan14 tonness, not in strife and jealousy. "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 13 14(1 But him that is weak in faith receive ye, yet not to (2 doubtful disputations. "One man hath faith to eat all 3 things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. "Let not him 4 5 that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. "Who art thou that judgest the *servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each (6 man be fully assured in his own mind. "He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and 7 giveth God thanks.

"But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand 11) before the judgement-seat of God. "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall 'confess to God. 12 "So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13) Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock (14) in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling. "I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth any thing (15) to be unclean, to him it is unclean. "For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ 16, 17 died. "Let not then your good be evil spoken of: "for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 "For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to (19) God, and approved of men. "So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we 20) may edify one another. "Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God.
