but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.

ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૧૮:૬
પણ આ નાનાંઓ જેઓ મારા પર વિશ્વાસ કરે છે, તેઓમાંના એકને જે વ્યક્તિ પાપ કરવા પ્રેરે, તે કરતાં તેના ગળે ભારે પથ્થર બંધાય અને સમુદ્રના ઊંડાણમાં ડુબાડાય એ તેને માટે સારું છે.
हिन्दीमत्ती १८:६
“पर जो कोई इन छोटों में से जो मुझ पर विश्वास करते हैं एक को ठोकर खिलाए, उसके लिये भला होता, कि बड़ी चक्की का पाट उसके गले में लटकाया जाता, और वह गहरे समुद्र में डुबाया जाता।

In context

4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.

7“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!

8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
