Spiritual and Holy Living – From the First Epistle to the Corinthians by Saint Paul (vegetarian) in the Holy Bible: Part 2 of 2

Let us continue with excerpts from Chapters 6 to 9 from the First Epistle to the Corinthians, in the Holy Bible, Saint Paul (vegetarian) lovingly reminds the faithful to abstain from eating animal-people flesh and to follow the path to the Kingdom of God.

“Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by His own power. But they that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? Therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

“We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies. And if any person thinks that they know anything, they know nothing that they ought to know. But if any person loves God, the same is known of them. To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him. But meat commends us not to God. But when you sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend.”

“For though I be free from all humankind, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.”
