[1] See that no one make thee to err from this¹ Way of the teaching, for he teaches thee without God.

[2] For if thou canst bear the whole yoke of the Lord, thou wilt be perfect, but if thou canst not, do what thou canst.

[3] And concerning food, bear² what thou canst, but keep strictly from that which is offered to idols, for it is the worship of dead gods.

[1] Ὅρα, μή τίς σε πλανήσῃ ἀπὸ ταύτης τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς διδαχῆς, ἐπεὶ παρεκτὸς θεοῦ σε διδάσκει.

[2] εἰ μὲν γὰρ δύνασαι βαστάσαι ὅλον τὸν ζυγὸν τοῦ κυρίου, τέλειος ἔσῃ: εἰ δ̓ οὐ δύνασαι, ὅ δύνῃ, τοῦτο ποίει.

[3] περὶ δὲ τῆς βρώσεως, ὅ δύνασαι βάστασον: ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ εἰδωλοθύτου λίαν πρόσεχε λατρεία γάρ ἐστι θεῶν νεκρῶν.
