Romans 14:1 Cross References - Lamsa

¹ He who is weak in the faith, assist him. And be consistent in your reasoning.

⁴⁰ Whoever receives you, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. ⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophetÆs reward; and whoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous manÆs reward. ⁴² Anyone who gives a drink to one of these little ones, if only a cup of cold water, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall never lose his reward.

¹⁰ See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, their angels always see the face of my Father in heaven.

¹ SO I, my brethren, could not converse with you as with spiritual men, but as with worldly men and even as with little children in Christ. ² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto you were unable to eat it, and even now you are not ready for it;

⁷ Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with clear conscience eat that which has been offered to idols as a sacrifice; and their conscience being weak is defiled. ⁸ But meat does not bring us closer to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither if we do not eat, are we the worse. ⁹ But be careful lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one should see you, who has knowledge, at table in the temple of idols, shall not the conscience of him who is weak encourage him to eat that which is sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ So the one who is weak and for whom Christ died will be lost through your indifference. ¹² And if you offend your brothers, and so influence their weak conscience, you also offend Christ. ¹³ Therefore if meat causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat, so that I may not cause my brother to offend.
