'Offense' in the Bible
that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid."
He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed."
so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;
and, "a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
