1 Рече Иисус на учениците Си: не е възможно да не дойдат съблазни, ала горко ономува, чрез когото дохождат:2 за него е по-добре, ако му надянат воденичен камък на шията и го хвърлят в морето, нежели да съблазни едного от тия, малките.3 Бъдете внимателни към себе си. Ако съгреши против тебе брат ти, смъмри го и, ако се покае, прости му;4 и ако седем пъти на ден съгреши против тебе и седем пъти на ден се обърне към тебе и каже: кая се – прости му.5 И рекоха апостолите Господу: усили у нас вярата.6 А Господ рече: да имахте вяра колкото синапово зърно, щяхте да кажете на тая черница: изтръгни се и се пресади в морето, и тя би ви послушала.7 Кой от вас, кога се завърне от полето негов слуга, орач или овчар, веднага ще му рече: върви, седни на трапезата;8 няма ли да му рече: приготви ми да вечерям, препаши се и ми шетай, докле ям и пия, а после ти ще ядеш и пиеш?9 Нима ще благодари той на оня слуга, задето е изпълнил заповедта? Не мисля.10 Тъй и вие, кога изпълните всичко вам заповядано, казвайте: ние сме слуги негодни, защото извършихме, що бяхме длъжни да извършим.
Mark 9
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.40 For the one who is not against us is for us.41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’49 For everyone will be salted with fire.50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Matthew 18
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.7 “Woe to the world for temptations to sin!
For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
