“但无论谁使信我的这些卑微人中的一个绊倒，对那人来说，倒不如脖子上被拴上大磨石，沉到深海里。

“凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上，沉在深海里。

“凡使这些信我的小子中的一个跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上，沉在深海里。

“凡使这些信我的小子中的一个跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上，沉在深海里。

但不论谁使这样一个小信徒失足犯罪，他的下场比把大磨石拴在他脖子上沉到深海里还要惨。

但无论谁使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪，倒不如拿一块大磨石拴在他的颈项上，把他沉在深海里。

「凡使這信我的一個小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，沉在深海裏。

「凡使這些信我的小子中的一個跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，沉在深海裏。

「凡使這些信我的小子中的一個跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，沉在深海裏。

但不論誰使這樣一個小信徒失足犯罪，他的下場比把大磨石拴在他脖子上沉到深海裡還要慘。

但無論誰使一個信我的小弟兄犯罪，倒不如拿一塊大磨石拴在他的頸項上，把他沉在深海裡。

凡使這些信我的微小者之一個絆跌的，就使一塊驢牽的磨石掛在他的脖子上，沉在海洋裏，對於他還有益。

「但無論誰使信我的這些卑微人中的一個絆倒，對那人來說，倒不如脖子上被拴上大磨石，沉到深海裡。

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!

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and[ that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

“ But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea.

“无论谁使信我的这些卑微人中的一个绊倒，对那人来说，脖子上拴着大磨石，被丢进海里反而更好。

耶稣对他的门徒们说：“那些使人绊脚的事必然出现，不过使它出现的人有祸了。对他来说，就算脖子上拴着大磨石，被丢到海里，也比他使这些卑微人中的一个绊倒更好。

所以，我们不要再彼此评断，倒要下定决心，不给弟兄放下绊跌物或绊脚石。我知道，并且在主耶稣里深信：没有一样东西本身是不洁净的。只是，如果有人认为什么是不洁净的，对他来说，那就是不洁净的。如果因食物的缘故使你的弟兄忧伤，你就不再是凭着爱行事了。基督已经替他死了，不可因你的食物毁了他。

神既然真是公义的，当主耶稣与他有大能的天使们一起从天上显现的时候，他就要以患难回报那些加患难给你们的人，也要使你们这些受患难的人与我们一同得到安息。神要在烈火中报应那些不认识神的人，以及那些不顺从我们主耶稣福音的人；他们将受到刑罚，就是永远的灭亡，从主面前被隔绝，离开他权能的荣耀。

照样，你们在天上的父也不愿意失去这些卑微人中的一个。

“你们要注意，不可轻视这些卑微人中的一个。我告诉你们：他们的天使在天上常常看见我天父的面。

不过要当心，免得你们的这权利成了软弱之人的绊跌物。因为，如果有人看见你这有知识的人在偶像的庙里坐席，难道不就鼓励了他软弱的良心，使他也去吃那祭过偶像的食物吗？这样，那软弱的人，就是基督为他而死的那弟兄，就会因你的知识被毁了。当你们这样对弟兄犯罪，打击他们软弱良心的时候，就是对基督犯罪。所以，如果食物使我的弟兄绊倒，我就绝不吃肉直到永远，免得使我的弟兄绊倒。

“你们不可碰我的受膏者，不可恶待我的先知。”

无论对犹太人、对外邦人，或对神的教会，你们都不可成为绊跌物；要像我那样，也在一切事上使所有的人喜悦——不求自己的益处，而求多人的益处，好让他们都能得救。

我们坚强的人，应该担当不坚强人的软弱，不求自己的喜悦。我们每个人当为了邻人的益处让他喜悦，使他得造就。因为基督不但不求自己的喜悦，反而像经上所记的：“那些责骂你之人的责骂，都落在我身上了。”

不在吃肉、喝酒、或其他事上使你的弟兄绊倒，这才是好的。

他问：“主啊，你到底是谁？”主说：“我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。
