성경구절

“And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.” “또 누구든지 나를 믿는 이 소자 중 하나를 실족케 하면 차라리 연자 맷돌을 그 목에 달리우고 바다에 던지움이 나으리라.”

“A millstone around your neck”은 당신이 하길 원하는 것을 막는 어떤 문제나 책임감입니다.

기원과 적용

예수님께서는 크리스챤들을 약하고 무능하게 되도록 설득하고 유혹하는 사람들에게, 그것은 죄이며, 엄청 큰 형벌을 받을 것이라고 경고하셨습니다. 그들에게는 차라리 연자 맷돌을 그들의 목에 걸고, 바다에 던져지는 것이 나을 것입니다.

예시

His credit card debt has become a millstone round his neck. 그의 카드 빚은 그에게 무거운 짐이 되었다.
