Matthew 18:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Temptations to Sin

⁵ “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; ⁶ but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,^[a] it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

⁷ “Woe to the world for temptations to sin!^[b] For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes!
