Temptations to Sin
42 t“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,1 uit would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 vAnd if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,2 to the unquenchable fire.3 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to wenter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 x‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
Temptations to Sin
1 xAnd he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin1 are sure to come, but ywoe to the one through whom they come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.2 3 Pay attention to yourselves! zIf your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you aseven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
