陷信我小子之一者、寧以巨磨懸其頸、沉於深海、

若陷信我之小子於罪者、寧以巨磨懸其頸、沉於深海、○

凡使此信我之一小子、陷於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸、沈於深海、

苟使信我之一介小子墮入罪中、不如磨石繫頸、沉諸淵海之為愈也。

“ If anyone causes one of these little ones— those who believe in me— to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

“ What if someone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin? If they do, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and be drowned at the bottom of the sea.

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

“ But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away— it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.

“ But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

“ But whoever causes the downfall of one of these little ones who believe in Me— it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea!

「但若有人使這樣一個小信徒失足犯罪，他的下場比把大磨石掛在他脖子上扔到海裡還要慘。

耶穌教導門徒說：「引人犯罪的事是免不了的，但引人犯罪的人有禍了。誰使一個卑微的弟兄失足犯罪，他的下場比把大磨石拴在他脖子上扔到海裡還要慘。

所以，我們不可再互相論斷，要留心自己的言行，不要絆倒弟兄姊妹。我知道並靠著主耶穌深信，沒有什麼是不潔淨的。但若有人以為某物不潔淨，那物對他來說就不潔淨。如果你吃的東西令弟兄姊妹不安，你就不是憑愛心行事。你不可因為一點食物而損害基督捨命救贖的人。

上帝是公義的，祂必以患難來報應那些迫害你們的人。當主耶穌和祂大能的天使在烈焰中從天上顯現時，祂必使你們這些受苦的人和我們同得安慰，懲罰那些不認識上帝、不聽從有關我們主耶穌之福音的人。那些人要受的刑罰就是離開主的面和祂榮耀的權能，永遠滅亡。

同樣，你們的天父也不願任何一個卑微的人失喪。

你們切不可輕視任何一位卑微的人。我告訴你們，他們的天使在天上常見我天父的面。

但你們要小心，不要讓你們的自由絆倒那些信心軟弱的人。如果有人看見你這明白以上道理的人竟然坐在偶像的廟中吃喝，他雖然良心不安，豈不還是會放膽吃獻給偶像的祭物嗎？這樣，你的知識反而令那軟弱的人，就是基督捨命救回的弟兄沉淪。你們這樣得罪弟兄，傷了他脆弱的良心，就是得罪基督。所以，如果我吃某些食物會令我的弟兄在信仰上跌倒，我就情願永遠不吃，免得令他們跌倒。

說：「不可難為我膏立的人，也不可傷害我的先知。」

不要成為猶太人、希臘人或上帝教會的絆腳石，就像我凡事儘量讓人滿意，不求自己的好處，只求眾人的好處，以便他們可以得救。

我們堅強的人要扶助軟弱的人，分擔他們的重擔，不該只顧自己的喜好。我們每個人都應該為他人著想，建造他人的生命。因為基督並沒有專顧自己，正如聖經上說：「辱駡你之人的辱駡都落在我身上。」

萬軍之耶和華說：「刀劍啊，醒來吧，要攻擊我的牧人和同伴，要擊打牧人，羊群將四散，我必出手攻擊小羊。

無論是吃肉、喝酒還是做任何別的事，如果會絆倒別人，就應該一概不做。

萬軍之耶和華說，祂在彰顯榮耀之後要差遣我去那些擄掠你們的國家，因為誰侵害你們，就是侵害祂的瞳人。

他說：「主啊，你是誰？」那聲音說：「我就是你所迫害的耶穌。
