Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁶ But whoever causes one of these little ones believing in Me to fall— it would be better^[a] for him that a donkey’s millstone^[b] be hung around his neck and he be sunk in the deep-part^[c] of the sea.

Woe To The World Because of Causes of Falling. Better To Tear Out Your Eye

⁷ “Woe to the world because of the causes-of-falling. For it is a necessity that causes-of-falling should come; nevertheless, woe to the person through whom the cause-of-falling comes. ⁸ But if your hand or your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. ⁹ And if your eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than to be thrown into the Gehenna^[d] of fire having two eyes.
