We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not {his} brother abideth in death.

Wherefore? Because {they sought it} not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in {his} brother's way.

Then shall we know, {if} we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter {and} former rain unto the earth.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, {then} are ye my disciples indeed;

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. {offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; {approve: or, try} {are...: or, differ}

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe {unto him}, through whom they come!

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these {is} charity.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. {is born: Gr. has been born}

By this shall all {men} know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. {nothing...: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. {is born: Gr. has been born}

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in {his} brother's way.

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, {and} make {it} gross darkness.
