(2) It's better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he's thrown into the sea than that he causes one of these little ones to stumble.
The F.O.G*
[2] They'd be better off having a massive concrete block tied around their neck and being thrown into the ocean depths than to cause one of these vulnerable believers to stumble in their faith.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.
