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、

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 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!

凡陷信我之小子於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸、投於海之為美也、

耶穌謂門徒曰、陷人於罪、事不能無、而陷之者禍矣、與其陷小子於罪、寧人以巨磨懸其頸、而投於海、

故勿相擬議、宜定意、毋俾兄弟躓礙、我宗主耶穌知之深、原無不潔之物、然以之為不潔、則不潔、若爾以所食、使兄弟憂、則所為不仁、基督且為之死、爾勿以所食敗之、

上帝至公、人苦爾者、報之以苦、爾受其苦、則報爾安、與我儕共享、迨主耶穌偕其有能之使、由天昭著、不識上帝、不服吾主耶穌基督福音者、以火爇而譴責之、其必受刑永苦、被逐於主前、不得覲其耿光、

如是而亡此小子之一、非爾天父意也、○

慎毋輕視此小子之一、吾語汝、彼之天使在上、常覲我天父之顏、

曰、勿以一己之所得自由、令知未至者躓焉、彼知未至、見爾有知、席坐偶像之廟、不亦敢食祭偶像之物乎、如是、則知未至之兄弟、縱有基督代死、將以爾之知沉淪矣、然爾得罪兄弟、傷其知未至之心、亦得罪基督、獨何歟、蓋食物陷兄弟於罪、吾永不食肉以陷之矣、

其沐以膏者、不許干犯、其立為先知者、不許惡待兮、

而俾人躓礙、或猶太、或希利尼、或上帝之會、如我凡事悅眾、不求益己、乃求益人、使其得救、

吾人信之篤者、當容彼信未篤者、不第悅己、乃以善悅人、而輔其德、蓋基督不悅己、經云、人詬爾、我受之、

萬有之主耶和華曰、惟爾鋒刃、勃然而興、擊我牧者、伐我同儔、牧者擊矣、群羊散矣、式微之子、我將加以眷顧、

毋寧不食肉、不飲酒、不事事、致兄弟或躓或礙、而信不篤、

我萬有之主耶和華曰、儀容赫奕、既經顯著、耶和華特遣予督責虜爾之民、凡犯爾者、與犯其眸子無異、

曰、子為誰、主曰、吾乃爾所窘逐之耶穌也、爾以足觸莿、難矣、
