| The Message (MSG) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
2 Better to wear a millstone necklace and take a swim in the deep blue sea than give even one of these dear little ones a hard time!
|
2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
