ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૧૮:૭
માનવજગતને અફસોસ છે! કારણ કે જે વસ્તુઓને કારણે લોકો પાપ કરે છે આવી વસ્તુઓ તો બનવાની અગત્ય છે. પણ તે વ્યક્તિને અફસોસ છે જે બીજાને પાપ કરાવવા જવાબદાર છે!
हिन्दीमत्ती १८:७
ठोकरों के कारण संसार पर हाय! ठोकरों का लगना अवश्य है; पर हाय उस मनुष्य पर जिसके द्वारा ठोकर लगती है।

In context

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.

9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
