Matthew 17:27

27 However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. ^{▼▼Greek stater, a silver coin worth four drachmas or approximately one shekel} Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

Matthew 18:6

6 but ^bwhoever causes one of these ^clittle ones who believe in me to sin, ^{▼▼Greek causes . . . to stumble; also verses 8, 9} 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.

Romans 14:13

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble

13 ^eTherefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide ^fnever to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

1 Corinthians 8:9-13

9 But take care ^gthat this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block ^hto the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating ^{▼▼Greek reclining at table} in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, ^{▼▼Or fortified; Greek built up} if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is ^kdestroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} and ^mwounding their conscience when it is weak, ⁿyou sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, ^oif food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

1 Corinthians 9:12

12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more?

Nevertheless, ^pwe have not made use of this right, but we endure anything ^qrather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:22

22 ^rTo the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. ^sI have become all things to all people, that ^tby all means I might save some.

2 Corinthians 1:12

Paul’s Change of Plans

12 For our boast is this, ^uthe testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity ^{▼▼Some manuscripts holiness} and ^wgodly sincerity, ^xnot by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.

2 Corinthians 8:20

20 We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us,
