凡使此信我之一小子、陷於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸、沈於深海、

“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。

“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。

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、○

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!

凡使此信我之一小子、陷於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸而投於海、

耶穌謂門徒曰、陷人於罪之事、必不能無、而陷人於罪者、禍矣、與其使此小子之一陷於罪、寧以巨磨石繫其頸而投於海、

故我儕勿復相擬議、宜定意勿以躓人礙人之物、置於兄弟之前、我賴主耶穌、明知確見、凡物本無不潔、若人以之為不潔、則於彼為不潔矣、若爾因所食、使兄弟憂、則所行不循愛人之道、基督為之死、爾勿以所食而敗之、

天主乃公義、凡以苦加爾者、天主必以苦報之、又使爾受患難者、與我儕共得平安、迨主耶穌偕其有能之天使由天而現之時、以烈火烈火原文作火焰施刑、而報不識天主不服我耶穌基督福音者、彼必受刑、永遠沈淪、離主之面及其大能之榮光、

如是、此小子中即亡其一、亦非爾天父之意也、○

慎毋輕視此小子之一、我告爾、彼之天使在天、常見我天父之面、

第當謹慎、勿以爾之自由、使荏弱者躓蹶、彼內心暗弱者、見爾有知者、席坐於偶像之廟、不亦敢食祭偶像之物乎、是爾荏弱之兄弟、雖基督已為之死、將因爾之知而淪亡矣、爾如此得罪兄弟、傷其暗弱之內心、即得罪基督、故食物若使我兄弟躓蹶、則我永不食肉、免我使我兄弟躓蹶也、

云爾曹不可凌犯我沐膏之人、不可惡待我所立之先知、

勿使人躓蹶、或猶太人、或希拉人、或天主之教會、似我凡事使眾喜悅、不求己益、乃求眾人之益、使其得救、

我儕堅者、當容不堅者之弱、毋求悅己、各當悅鄰、以建其德、以致其益、基督不悅己、如經載云、人謗主、其謗言悉歸我身、

萬有之主曰、刃歟、爾醒、刃歟爾醒或作惟爾鋒刃勃然而興擊我牧者與我同儔、擊牧者使羊散、惟彼卑微者我必護衛、惟彼卑微者我必護衛或作惟彼小子我必救援

寧不食肉、不飲酒、無論何事、毋使兄弟或躓或礙、或信不堅、

蓋萬有之主如是以命焉、主許以顯榮之後、遣我就刼掠爾之諸國、以責之、凡犯爾者、即犯其眸子、

曰、主為誰、主曰、我乃爾所窘逐之耶穌、爾以足觸刺、難矣、
