Matthew 18:6-9
6but 1whoever 2causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to 3sin, it is better for him that a 4heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7“Woe to the world because of its 5stumbling blocks! For 6it is inevitable that 7stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the 8stumbling block comes!
8“And 9if your hand or your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; it is better for you to enter life maimed or without a foot, than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. 9And 10if your eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into the 1112fiery hell.
