5 And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; 6 but (A)whoever (B)causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it [a]would be better for him to have a [b]heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

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