Matthew 18:6-9

6but 1whoever 2causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it 3would be better for him to have a 4heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

7“Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For 5it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!

8“6If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than 7to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire. 98If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than 9to have two eyes and be cast into the 1011fiery hell.
