Romans 15:1
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves
Romans 14:1
Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things
1 Corinthians 8:9-13
But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
2 Corinthians 6:3
We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.
Ephesians 4:2
with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love
1 Thessalonians 5:14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.
Jeremiah 33:3
'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'
This was originally spoken to Jeremiah about the fate of Jerusalem. However, this promise is true in special ways for us as well. God wants us to call to him. God often waits for us to ask before he blesses us what he longs to give us. Yet we lack the ability to comprehend and receive all the great truth about God. He is simply too big and too glorious for us to fully apprehend him in his grace.
