But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him that {a large millstone} be hung on his neck and he be drowned in the depths of the sea.

"And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it is better for him if instead {a large millstone} is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea.

"Do not touch my anointed ones, nor harm my prophets."

For thus said Yahweh of hosts, after glory he sent me against the nations plundering you: Truly, the one touching you [is] touching the apple of his eye.

"O sword, awake against my shepherd, against [the] man [who is] my associate," {declares} Yahweh of hosts. "Strike the shepherd, so that the sheep may be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the small [ones].

"See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven constantly see the face of my Father [who is] in heaven.

In the [same] way it is not the will {of} your Father [who is] in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

And he said to his disciples, "It is impossible for causes for stumbling not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come!

So he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he [said], "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting!

Therefore, let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather decide this: not to place a cause for stumbling or a temptation before a brother.

[It is] good not to eat meat or to drink wine or [to do anything] by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weakened.

But we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

But watch out lest somehow this right of yours becomes a cause for stumbling to the weak.

{Give no offense} both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God,

since [it is] righteous in the sight of God to pay back those who are afflicting you with affliction,
