Matthew 18:8 in Context — Matthew 18
6 Mais, si quelqu’un scandalisait un de ces petits qui croient en moi, il vaudrait mieux pour lui qu’on suspendît à son cou une meule de moulin, et qu’on le jetât au fond de la mer.
7 Malheur au monde à cause des scandales!Car il est nécessaire qu’il arrive des scandales;mais malheur à l’homme par qui le scandale arrive!
8 Si ta main ou ton pied est pour toi une occasion de chute, coupe-les et jette-les loin de toi; mieux vaut pour toi entrer dans la vie boiteux ou manchot, que d’avoir deux pieds ou deux mains et d’être jeté dans le feu éternel.
9 Et si ton œil est pour toi une occasion de chute, arrache-le et jette-le loin de toi; mieux vaut pour toi entrer dans la vie, n’ayant qu’un œil, que d’avoir deux yeux et d’être jeté dans le feu de la géhenne.
10 Gardez-vous de mépriser un seul de ces petits; car je vous disque leurs anges dans les cieux voient continuellement la face de mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
