2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

2It would be better for him if a millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] were hung around his neck and he were hurled into the sea, than for him to cause one of these 17:2 I.e. believers.little ones to stumble [in sin and lose faith]. [Matt 18:6; Mark 9:42]
