And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.

Let us not therefore criticize each other any more, but judge ye this instead, not to place a stumbling block to the brother, or a snare.

Now I beseech you, brothers, watch out for those who make the divisions and the stumbling blocks, contrary to the doctrine that ye learned, and turn away from them.

Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

It is good not to eat meats, nor to drink wine, nor in whatever thy brother stumbles against, or is caused to stumble, or becomes weak.

I say then, did they stumble so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
