Matthew 18:6

6but awhoever causes one of these blittle 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.


Acts 20:24

24But dI do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only eI may finish my course and fthe ministry gthat I received from the Lord Jesus, hto testify to ithe gospel of jthe grace of God.

Philippians 1:20-23

20as it is my eager expectation and hope kthat I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full lcourage now as always Christ mwill be honored in my body, nwhether by life or by death. 21For to me oto live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 pI am hard pressed between the two. My desire is qto depart and rbe with Christ, for that is far better.
