Matthew 18:7 Context
5And who so shall receiue one such little child in my name, receiueth me. 6But who so shall offend one of these little ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that hee were drowned in the depth of the Sea. 7¶ Woe vnto the world because of offences: for it must needs be that offences come: but wo to that man by whom the offence commeth. 8Wherefore if thy hand or thy foote offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather then hauing two hands or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. 9And if thine eie offend thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eie, rather then hauing two eies, to be cast into hell fire.
