2 Cor. 10. 3, 4, 5. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth it self against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Rom. 14. 1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations—Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; nor him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him—To him that esteemeth any thing unclean, to him it is unclean▪ But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably: destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ died—For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost: For he that in these things serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another— He that doubteth is damned if he eat—
