We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

We don’t put anything in anyone’s way. So no one can find fault with our work for God.

We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,

We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.

We are not giving anyone an occasion for offense, so that the ministry will not be blamed.

giving no reason for taking offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed.

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

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.

If others be partakers of[ this] power over you,[ are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:Even as I please all[ men] in all[ things], not seeking mine own profit, but the[ profit] of many, that they may be saved.

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all[ men], that I might by all means save some.

Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s[ wealth].

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and[ that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
