Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

Ουαι εις τον κοσμον δια τα σκανδαλα· διοτι ειναι αναγκη να ελθωσι τα σκανδαλα· πλην ουαι εις τον ανθρωπον εκεινον, δια του οποιου το σκανδαλον ερχεται.

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

“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!
