HoMiL. Ver. 13. I^l us not therefore judge one another any more: ^^-but jud(je this rather, that no man jmt a stumbling-block or an occasion to /all in his brother's way. This does not apply to one less than the other : wherefore it may well fit with both, both the advanced man that was oHcnded at the observance of meats, and the unadvanced that stumbled at the vehement rebuke given him. But consider, I pray you, the gi'eat punishment we shall suffer, if wc give offence at all. For if in a case... where the thing was against law, yet, as they rebuked unseasonably, he forbade their doing it, in order that a brother might not be made to offend and stumble ; when we give an offence with- out having any thing to set right even, what treatment shall we deseiTe } For if not saving others be a crime, (and that it is so, he who buried the talent proves, ) what will be the effect of giving him offence also ? But what if he gives him- self the offence, you may say, by being weak ? Why this is just why thou oughtest to use all patient endurance.
