Those who buy their example lead another believer into sin and spiritual ruin sin not only against that person, but also against Christ Himself. A great sin has been committed; the purpose for which Christ died considered of little value in comparison to one’s own self centred desires.

Woe to the man Matthew 18:7
Offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes.

Jesus warns that those who are instrumental in placing sinful things before others.
To place "offences”in the path of others such as worldly entertainment humanistic teaching Immoral films, pornographic literature, drugs, alcoholic beverages, wicked examples, false teachings, is it not
to join oneself with Satan, who is the great tempter.
The godly way of the faithful is to remove from the lives of our families, our homes, our friends and ourselves any and all things that might lead others into temptation and sin.
