Exegesis
The verse begins with an indefinite relative clause formed by hos an skandalisei {ὃς ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ | hòs án skandalísē}, which functions conditionally as “whoever causes to stumble.”
In context — Matthew 18:6
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a donkey’s millstone be fastened around his neck, and that he be sunk in the depths of the sea.
