What does the Bible say about offending little ones?

In Luke 17:1-5, Jesus teaches that it is impossible for offenses not to come. He explicitly warns that woe awaits anyone who causes a little one to stumble. The term 'little ones' refers to believers who are humbled and dependent on God. Offending them is a serious crime in the eyes of God, with a punishment so severe that it would be better for the offender to be drowned than to carry out such an offense. This emphasizes the seriousness of the responsibility we have in how we treat fellow believers.
