6 but ^zwhoever causes one of these ^alittle ones who believe in me to sin,¹ it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

2 ^xIt 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.¹

12 Thus, sinning against your brothers¹ and ^gwounding their conscience when it is weak, ^hyou sin against Christ.
