Let us therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this rather, not to lay a stumbling block, or a scandal before a brother.

to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness:

But take heed, lest by any means this your liberty become a stumbling-block to the weak.

But I have a few things against thee, that thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

Wherefore? Because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone;

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, to them who stumble, not believing the word, whereunto also they were appointed.

As it is written, Behold I lay in Sion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence: and every one that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

I say then, Have they stumbled so as to fall? God forbid. But by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
