'Blame' in the Bible

He replied, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), as it is written [in Scripture],‘These people honor Me with their lips,But their heart is far from Me.

Some of the scribes replied, “Teacher, you have spoken well [so that there is no room for blame].”

You will say to me then, “Why does He still blame me [for sinning]? For who [including myself] has [ever] resisted His will and purpose?”

Then let us not criticize one another anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block or a source of temptation in another believer’s way.

We are taking precaution so that no one will [find anything with which to] discredit us in our administration of this generous gift.
