Offend thee; lead thee to commit an offence. The immediate reference here is to offences against Christ's little ones, whereby they are let into sin. The hand, the foot, and the eye represent men's strongest desires and the earthly objects dearest to them. Whatever sacrifices the doing of the will of God may require, it is wise cheerfully and promptly to make them; for the trouble it will occasion in this world is nothing to the misery which the neglect of it will occasion in the world to come.
