Luke 17:1 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
Luke 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
I find it interesting, how Jesus describes a man, who offend one of his sheep (Actually I like the German translation more than the English one. In German it does not say "offend" but it says "to lead to apostasy" or "to lead to the wrong way". So it is not only offending the sheep of Jesus, but it is leading them to spiritual death.). Jesus says that it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
What will God do to someone, who has lead the child of God astray?
1.Cor.3:17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Oh..good one on the german version though i don't read them :p
thanks for sharing its really edifying! learnt something new today! =D
other translations say:
"2 It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble."
"2(A) It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin."
