““Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!”
Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! The double woe: woe to the world that produces stumbling-blocks, and woe to the specific person through whom the stumbling-block comes. The necessity of temptations communicates the fallen world's inevitability of producing obstacles; the woe to the one through whom they come communicates the personal accountability of those who are the instruments of others' stumbling.
