Do Not Cause Others to Stumble

6But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is better for him that a donkey millstone be hung around his neck and that he be drowned in the open sea.

7Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks; for it is necessary that the stumbling blocks come, but woe to the man through whom the stumbling block comes.

8And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire.

9And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into fiery Gehenna.
