Matthew 18:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 but (A)whoever (B)causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a [a]heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Stumbling Blocks
7 “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For (C)it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; nevertheless, woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!
8 “(D)And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire.

New International Version
Causing to Stumble
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.(A) 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!(B) 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble,(C) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
