Rom. 15. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. We then that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please our selves: Let every one of us • ease his neighbour for his good to edification. For even Christ pleased not himself—Now the God of Patience, and Consolation grant you to be ⟨p. 309⟩like minded one towards another, according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God—Wherefore RECEIVE ye one another, as Christ also received us to the Glory of God.

For even Christ pleased not himself—Now the God of Patience, and Consolation grant you to be ⟨p. 309⟩like minded one towards another, according to Christ Iesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorifie God—Wherefore RECEIVE ye one another, as Christ also received us to the Glory of God.
Rom. 14. 17, 18, 19, 20. 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—For meat destroy not the work of God—Happy is he that condemneth not himself, in the thing which he alloweth (that is acknowledgeth to be indifferent or lawful.) And he that doubteth is damned if he eat.
