Matthew 18:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
But Woe To Whoever Causes One of My Children Believing In Me To Fall
5 “And whoever welcomes[a] one such[b] child on the basis of My name, welcomes Me. 6 But whoever causes one of these little ones believing in Me to fall— it would be better[c] for him that a donkey’s millstone[d] be hung around his neck and he be sunk in the deep-part[e] of the sea.
Woe To The World Because of Causes of Falling. Better To Tear Out Your Eye
7 “Woe to the world because of the causes-of-falling. For it is a necessity that causes-of-falling should come; nevertheless, woe to the person through whom the cause-of-falling comes.
