Greek interlinear bible luke 10
But in love, when we are sinned against in a significant way, we must follow Ephesians 4:15 as the pattern: we need to speak the truth in love. Don’t be too sensitive bear with one another. Ephesians 4:2 says that we should love with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love. One aspect of the fruit of the Spirit is longsuffering (Galatians 5:22), and we need to be able to suffer long with the slights and petty offences that come our way in daily living. Love is the rule here we obviously can’t walk around keeping a record of every little offense committed against us. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him: When someone sins against you, you should not pretend that it never happened.

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”Ī. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him and if he repents, forgive him. (3-4) If someone stumbles you, deal with it and forgive them. If we love our brother, we will not bring an offense into their life. 1 John 2:10 explains the solution to being a skandalon to others – love: He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. God doesn’t need you as an instrument of His judgment, only as an instrument of His love If someone seems ripe for the judgment or discipline of God, let God do it. This is a lesson that the church learned the hard way in trying to help God to curse the Jewish race for their rejection of the Messiah the curse came back on the church worse than ever. It would better for the offending one to die a horrible death, such as having a millstone hung around your neck and being thrown into the sea. People are going to trip up – but woe to you if you set the stumbling block in their way.” Woe to him through whom they do come: Essentially, Jesus said: “People are going to take the bait – but woe to you if you offer the hook. Division and false teaching brings a skandalon among God’s people (Romans 16:17).Ĭ. It can be false counsel (Matthew 16:23), and it can be leading a brother into sin by your “liberty” (Romans 14:13). But among brothers in Jesus, a skandalon is bad. In the Bible sometimes a skandalon is good – such as the way that people “trip” over Jesus, and are offended at the gospel (Romans 9:33, 1 Corinthians 1:23, Galatians 5:11).

It also was used for a stumbling block, something that people trip over. The ancient Greek word used here for offenses is skandalon, and it comes from the word for a bent-stick – the stick that springs the trap or sets the bait. It is important to understand what Jesus meant when He spoke of offenses. It is impossible: It is inevitable that people be offended, but woe to the person through whom those offenses come. It is all the more imperative how we live and show Jesus to others on this side of eternity, because right now counts forever.ī.

Then He said to the disciples: Jesus, through the account of Lazarus and the rich man, has made it clear that eternity is for real, and no one from beyond will come back to warn us. Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 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.”Ī.
