On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

When it is certainly foreseen that my doing what I may forbear will occasion a fellow-christian to do what he ought to forbear, I shall offend, scandalize, or lay a stumbling-block in his way, which to do is a sin, however lawful the thing itself be which is done. And, if we must be so careful not to occasion other men's sins, how careful should we be to avoid sin ourselves!

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
