It's time to reveal a scandal

hO AGAPWN TON ADELFON AUTOU EN TWi FWTI MENEI, KAI SKANDALON EN AUTWi OUK 
ESTIN

A commentary I am reading indicated that SKANDALON may represent a snare 
that "causes others" to become entrapped or to stumble, or it may be that 
the SKANDALON here is a reference to the fact that "within" this brother who 
loves, there is no internal spiritual condition whereby he might "cause 
himself" to stumble.

Are there any determining factors that would help shed some light on this 
(no pun intended)?

Can SKANDALON be either:

1. that which we do that would cause others to become entrapped

2. that which causes ourselves to entrap ourselves


BTW, EN AUTWi is rejected by one commentary as referring to "in it (the 
light)," since it would be redundant to say there is no cause of stumbling 
in the light.


That was quite a scandal. Sorry to have to expose this.

Thank you,

Mark Wilson
