And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
