4. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Offence
(1.) An injury or wrong done to one (1 Sam. 25:31; Rom. 5:15).
(2.) A stumbling-block or cause of temptation (Isa. 8:14;
Matt. 16:23; 18:7). Greek skandalon, properly that at which one
stumbles or takes offence. The "offence of the cross" (Gal.
5:11) is the offence the Jews took at the teaching that
salvation was by the crucified One, and by him alone. Salvation
by the cross was a stumbling-block to their national pride.

5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
OFFENCE, crimes. The doing that which a penal law forbids to be done, or
omitting to do what it commands; in this sense it is nearly synonymous with
crime. (q.v.) In a more confined sense, it may be considered as having the
same meaning with misdemeanor, (q.v.) but it differs from it in this, that
it is not indictable, but punishable summarily by the forfeiture of a
penalty. 1 Chit. Prac. 14.
