5 And whoever welcomes[a] one child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6 “But whoever causes the downfall of one of these little ones who believe in Me—it would be better for him if a heavy millstone[b] were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea!(A) 7 Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.(B)

Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!(C)
