Matthew 18:6-9

Woe unto the world; great evils will come on the world through the offences which men will commit.

Needs be, such is the wickedness of men, that they will lead others to commit sin. 8, 9

Hand--foot--eye; these represent our strongest earthly desires and our dearest earthly possessions. These must all be denied and renounced rather than that we, by sinning ourselves, should be occasions of sin to others. Compare chap. Mt 5:29,30. However convenient or dear any thing may be, if it cause us to sin, it is better to do without it, than to have it and suffer the consequences.
