Matthew 24:10: "At-that-time many will-be-caused-to-fall, and will-hand one-another over, and will-hate one-another."

The same Greek words that are used in the various passages will be CAPITALIZED.

Will be caused to fall?

It is written in Matthew 24:10: "many WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL".

The Greek word for "WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL" is in the passive voice, meaning that the subject is the recipient of the action. They will not be FALLING by themselves but they "WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL" (Matthew 24:11).

Many caused to fall in Galatians?

It is written in Matthew 24:11: "many WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL".

Later in the 1st century, "Paul" (Galatians 1:1) wrote "(to) the churches (of) Galatia" (Galatians 1:2). This would include "many" people. 

Paul wrote to them that "You who are-(trying-to-be)-declared-righteous by (the) Law were-rendered-not-working from Christ. You-fell-out-of grace" (Galatians 5:4). 

These would have been caused to fall (out of grace), as Paul added: "Galatians, who bewitched you" (Galatians 3:1), "You-were-running well. Who hindered you (that you should) not be-persuaded (by) the truth?" (Galatians 5:7), "the (one) disturbing you will-bear the judgment, whoever he-may-be" (Galatians 5:10).

Many caused to fall in 1 Timothy & 2 Timothy?

It is written in Matthew 24:11: "many WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL".

Later in the 1st century, it is written in 1 Timothy about "having faith and (a) good conscience, which having-pushed-aside, some suffered-shipwreck with-respect-to the faith — (of) whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander" (1 Timothy 1:19-20). Some would have been caused to fall with respect to the faith because of a good conscience that they pushed aside.

The person named "Hymenaeus" (1 Timothy 1:20) was again mentioned in 2 Timothy: "their talk will-have (a) spreading like gangrene — (of) whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who missed-the-aim with-regard-to the truth" (2 Timothy 2:17-18) and it is indicated that they "are-overturning the faith (of) some" (2 Timothy 2:18). So here there were some more who were caused to fall with respect to the faith because of people like "Hymenaeus and Philetus" (2 Timothy 2:17).

Many caused to fall in 2 Peter?

It is written in Matthew 24:11: "MANY WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL".

Later in the 1st century, it is written in 2 Peter that "there-will-be also false-teachers among you who will-secretly-bring-in heresies (of) destruction" (2 Peter 2:1), and about them it is written that "leaving-behind (the) straight way, they-went-astray" (2 Peter 2:15).

These false teachers would cause MANY to fall, as it is written about them: "And MANY will-follow-after their sensualities" (2 Peter 2:2) as they are "enticing unestablished souls" (2 Peter 2:14).

Many caused to fall in Revelation?

It is written in Matthew 24:11: "many WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL".

Later in the 1st century, in Revelation "the church in Ephesus" (Revelation 2:1) was adressed. This would probably include "many" people. 

It is written to them: "I-have against you that you-left your first love. Therefore, be-remembering from-where you-have-fallen, and repent, and do the first works" (Revelation 2:4-5). These would have been caused to fall because of having left their "first love" (Revelation 2:4). 

It was also addressed to "the church in Pergamum" (Revelation 2:12) that "I-have (a) few (things) against you, because you-have there (ones) holding-on-to the teaching (of) Balaam, who was-teaching Balak to-put (a) cause-of-falling before the sons (of) Israel to-eat foods-sacrificed-to-idols and to-commit-sexual-immorality. So you also have (ones) holding-on-to the teaching (of) the Nicolaitans likewise. Therefore repent" (Revelation 2:14-16). So here there were two group of people teaching false doctrines, even a teaching "to-put (a) cause-of-falling before the sons (of) Israel" (Revelation 2:14), which is why they were also asked to "repent" (Revelation 2:16).
