What struck me about this verse is verse 4 in kjv when it says ... all his works are done in truth. It shows that to do God's work, one has to be truthful in all that he does.
Culturally, truth may differ in the way it is expressed. Does one stumble another if one expresses truth in one's culture but ignores the expression of truth in the other culture? Passage to consider: John 4 about the Samaritan woman and Romans 14 when Paul urges one to eat with restrain when in presence of a spiritually weaker brethen. In the passage of the Samaritan woman, Jesus uses his own expression of living water to induce the conversation with the Samaritan woman. In Romans 14, Paul urges a brethen to take into consideration another brethen's perspective when eating meat offered to idols. Any thoughts on that?
