⁶ Ὃς δ᾿ ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ* ἕνα* τῶν μικρῶν τούτων* τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, συμφέρει αὐτῷ ἵνα κρεμασθῇ μύλος ὀνικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ καταποντισθῇ ἐν τῷ πελάγει τῆς θαλάσσης. ⁷ οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων· ἀνάγκη γὰρ ἐλθεῖν* τὰ σκάνδαλα,* πλὴν οὐαὶ* τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ δι᾿ οὗ* τὸ σκάνδαλον ἔρχεται.* ⁸ εἰ δὲ ἡ χείρ σου ἢ ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν κυλλὸν* ἢ χωλόν ἢ δύο χεῖρας* ἢ δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον. ⁹ καὶ εἰ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός. ¹⁰ ὁρᾶτε μὴ καταφρονήσητε ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν τούτων· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.	⁴² Καὶ ὃς ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ* ἕνα* τῶν μικρῶν τούτων* τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, καλόν ἐστιν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον εἰ περίκειται μύλος ὀνικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ βέβληται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν. ⁴³ καὶ ἐὰν σκανδαλίζῃ σε ἡ χείρ σου, ἀπόκοψον αὐτήν· καλόν ἐστίν σε κυλλὸν* εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν ἢ τὰς δύο χεῖρας* ἔχοντα ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γέενναν, εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον, ⁴⁴ ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται. ⁴⁵ καὶ ἐὰν ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἀπόκοψον αὐτόν· καλόν ἐστίν σε εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν χωλὸν ἢ τοὺς δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν, ⁴⁶ ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται. ⁴⁷ καὶ ἐὰν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἔκβαλε αὐτόν· καλόν σέ ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν, ⁴⁸ ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται.	¹ Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· Ἀνένδεκτόν ἐστιν τοῦ τὰ σκάνδαλα* μὴ ἐλθεῖν,* πλὴν οὐαὶ* δι᾿ οὗ* ἔρχεται·* ² λυσιτελεῖ αὐτῷ εἰ λίθος μυλικὸς περίκειται περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ και ἔρριπται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν ἢ ἵνα σκανδαλίσῃ* τῶν μικρῶν τούτων* ἕνα.*

⁶ Ὃς δ᾿ ἂν
σκανδαλίσῃ* ἕνα*
τῶν μικρῶν τούτων*
τῶν πιστευόντων
εἰς ἐμέ, συμφέρει
αὐτῷ ἵνα
κρεμασθῇ
μύλος ὀνικὸς
περὶ τὸν τράχηλον
αὐτοῦ καὶ
καταποντισθῇ
ἐν τῷ πελάγει
τῆς θαλάσσης.

⁷ οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ
ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων·
ἀνάγκη γὰρ ἐλθεῖν*
τὰ σκάνδαλα,*
πλὴν οὐαὶ*
τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ
δι᾿ οὗ*
τὸ σκάνδαλον
ἔρχεται.*
⁸ εἰ δὲ

ἡ χείρ σου

ἢ ὁ πούς σου
σκανδαλίζει σε,
ἔκκοψον αὐτὸν
καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ·
καλόν σοί ἐστιν
εἰσελθεῖν
εἰς τὴν ζωὴν
κυλλὸν*
ἢ χωλόν
ἢ δύο χεῖρας*
ἢ δύο πόδας
ἔχοντα βληθῆναι
εἰς τὸ πῦρ
τὸ αἰώνιον.

⁹ καὶ εἰ ὁ
ὀφθαλμός σου
σκανδαλίζει σε,
ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ
βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ·
καλόν σοί ἐστιν
μονόφθαλμον
εἰς τὴν ζωὴν
εἰσελθεῖν

ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς
ἔχοντα βληθῆναι
εἰς τὴν γέενναν

τοῦ πυρός.
¹⁰ ὁρᾶτε μὴ
καταφρονήσητε
ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν
τούτων· λέγω γὰρ
ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ ἄγγελοι
αὐτῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς
διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσι
τὸ πρόσωπον
τοῦ πατρός μου
τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.

⁴² Καὶ ὃς ἂν
σκανδαλίσῃ* ἕνα*
τῶν μικρῶν τούτων*
τῶν πιστευόντων
εἰς ἐμέ, καλόν
ἐστιν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον
εἰ περίκειται
μύλος ὀνικὸς
περὶ τὸν τράχηλον
αὐτοῦ καὶ
βέβληται
εἰς
τὴν θάλασσαν.

⁴³ καὶ ἐὰν
σκανδαλίζῃ σε
ἡ χείρ σου,
ἀπόκοψον αὐτήν·
καλόν ἐστίν σε
κυλλὸν* εἰσελθεῖν
εἰς τὴν ζωὴν
ἢ τὰς δύο χεῖρας*
ἔχοντα ἀπελθεῖν
εἰς τὴν γέενναν,
εἰς τὸ πῦρ
τὸ ἄσβεστον,
⁴⁴ ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ
αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ
καὶ τὸ πῦρ
οὐ σβέννυται.
⁴⁵ καὶ ἐὰν
ὁ πούς σου
σκανδαλίζῃ σε,
ἀπόκοψον αὐτόν·

καλόν ἐστίν σε
εἰσελθεῖν
εἰς τὴν ζωὴν

χωλὸν
ἢ

⁴⁶ ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ
αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ
καὶ τὸ πῦρ
οὐ σβέννυται.
⁴⁷ καὶ ἐὰν ὁ
ὀφθαλμός σου
σκανδαλίζῃ σε,

ἔκβαλε αὐτόν·
καλόν σέ ἐστιν
μονόφθαλμον
εἰσελθεῖν
εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν
τοῦ θεοῦ
ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς
ἔχοντα βληθῆναι

αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ

οὐ σβέννυται.

¹ Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς

⁶ But, whoever
scandalizes one*
of these little ones*
who have faith
in me, it is better
for him that
a muledrawn millstone
be hung from around
his neck and he be
drowned in the depth
of the sea.

⁷ Woe to the world
because of scandals.
For it is necessary
that scandals*
come,*
except woe*
to* the man
through whom*
the scandal comes.*
⁸ But, if
your hand

or your foot
scandalizes you,
cut it off and
cast it away
from you. It is
better for you
to go into life
maimed* or lame
than to have
two hands*
or two feet
and be cast into
the eternal fire.

⁹ And if your eye
scandalizes you,
take it out and
cast it away
from you;
it is better for you
to go into life

one-eyed than to have
two eyes and be cast
into the gehenna

of fire.
¹⁰ See lest you
despise one of these
little ones; for I
say to you that
through it all
their angels in the
heavens look upon
the face of my father
who is in heaven.

⁴² And, whoever
scandalizes one*
of these little ones*
who have faith
in me, it is good
for him rather that
a muledrawn millstone
be placed around
his neck and he be
cast into
the sea.

⁴³ And, if
your hand
scandalizes you,
cut it away;
it is better for you
to go into life
maimed* than
to have two hands*
and go into
gehenna, into
the unquenchable fire,
⁴⁴ where their worm
does not come to an end
and the fire
is not extinguished.
⁴⁵ And if
your foot
scandalizes you,
cut it
away.
It is
better for you
to go into life
lame
than to have

two feet
and be cast into
gehenna,
⁴⁶ where their worm
does not come to an end
and the fire
is not extinguished.
⁴⁷ And if your eye
scandalizes you,

cast it out
from you;
it is better for you
to go into the
kingdom of God
one-eyed than to have
two eyes and be cast
into gehenna,
⁴⁸ where their worm
does not come to an end
and the fire
is not extinguished.

¹ And he said
toward his disciples:
It is impossible
that scandals*
should not come,*
except woe* to*
him through whom*
they come.*

² It is more advantageous
for him that
a milling stone
be placed around
his neck and he be
thrown into
the sea
than that he should
scandalize one*
of these little ones.*

Matthew 5.29-30.
²⁹ Εἰ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ὁ δεξιὸς σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου βληθῇ εἰς γέενναν. ³⁰ καὶ εἰ ἡ δεξιά σου χεὶρ σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὴν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου εἰς γέενναν ἀπέλθῃ.
