What does the Bible say about offenses against others?

In Luke 17:1-2, Jesus emphasizes the inevitability of offenses, stating that it is impossible for them not to happen. However, he warns that those who cause offenses, especially to the 'little ones' or believers, will face severe consequences, illustrating the seriousness with which God treats the well-being of His children. This is a reminder of the personal investment God has in His people and the potential harm that can arise from causing spiritual harm to others. The teaching reveals not only the reality of human sinfulness but also the responsibility that each believer has in how they interact with one another.
