And David says, Let their table become a trap and a snare and an offense and a stumbling block to them;

Let us not therefore judge one another, but judge this rather, not to place a stumbling-block or an offense before a brother.

For what reason? Because they are not of faith, but as it were of works of the law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

and a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

as it is written; Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day? and if one walks in the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;

but if he walks in the night he stumbles, because the light is not in it.

I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means; but by their fall the nations have salvation to excite them to emulation.

it is good not to eat meat nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing by which your brother stumbles.
