Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the ekklesia of God, |
Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the ekklesia of God; |

Do not let yourselves be [hindrances by giving] an offense to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the ekklesia of God [do not lead others into sin by your mode of life]; |
giving no occasion of stumbling both to Jews and Gentiles and also the Ekklesia of God, |
Do nothing that might make men stumble, whether they are Jews or Greeks or members of the ekklesia of God. |
Stop being stumbling blocks to Jews or Greeks or to the ekklesia of God, |
