陷信我小子之一者、寧以巨磨懸其頸、投於海、

凡陷信我之小子於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸、投於海之為美也、

凡使此信我之一小子、陷於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸而投於海、

如有使信我之小子、失足而陷罪者、毋寧以磨石繫頸、而被投諸海乎？

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

“ What if someone leads one of these little ones who believe in me to sin? If they do, it would be better if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.

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。

耶稣教导门徒说：“引人犯罪的事是免不了的，但引人犯罪的人有祸了。谁使一个卑微的弟兄失足犯罪，他的下场比把大磨石拴在他脖子上扔到海里还要惨。

你们切不可轻视任何一位卑微的人。我告诉你们，他们的天使在天上常见我天父的面。

弟兄姊妹，我劝你们要留意那些制造分裂、设置障碍、背离你们所学之道的人，你们要避开他们。

他倒在地上，听见有声音对他说：“扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？”

如果有人看见你这明白以上道理的人竟然坐在偶像的庙中吃喝，他虽然良心不安，岂不还是会放胆吃献给偶像的祭物吗？这样，你的知识反而令那软弱的人，就是基督舍命救回的弟兄沉沦。你们这样得罪弟兄，伤了他脆弱的良心，就是得罪基督。所以，如果我吃某些食物会令我的弟兄在信仰上跌倒，我就情愿永远不吃，免得令他们跌倒。

许多人会效法他们邪恶无耻的行为，致使真理之道被人毁谤。

“王会回答说，‘我实在告诉你们，你们没有帮助我最卑微的一个弟兄，就是没有帮助我。’这些人要受永远的刑罚，但义人要得到永远的生命。”

正如圣经上说：“对祂毫无所闻的，将要看见；未曾听过的，将要明白。”

我多次在各会堂惩罚他们，逼他们说亵渎的话，我对他们深恶痛绝，甚至到国外的城镇去追捕、迫害他们。“那时，我带着祭司长的授权和委托去大马士革。王啊！大约中午时分，我在路上看见一道比太阳还亮的光从天上照在我和同行的人周围。我们都倒在地上，我听见有声音用希伯来话对我说，‘扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？你很难用脚去踢刺。’

所以，我建议年轻的寡妇再嫁，生儿育女，料理家务，不要给仇敌毁谤的机会，

上帝是公义的，祂必以患难来报应那些迫害你们的人。当主耶稣和祂大能的天使在烈焰中从天上显现时，祂必使你们这些受苦的人和我们同得安慰，惩罚那些不认识上帝、不听从有关我们主耶稣之福音的人。那些人要受的刑罚就是离开主的面和祂荣耀的权能，永远灭亡。

所以，我们不可再互相论断，要留心自己的言行，不要绊倒弟兄姊妹。

为了避免有人毁谤我们的职分，我们凡事尽量不妨碍别人，

不要成为犹太人、希腊人或上帝教会的绊脚石，就像我凡事尽量让人满意，不求自己的好处，只求众人的好处，以便他们可以得救。

使你们知道怎样择善而从，做诚实无过的人，一直到基督再来的日子，

由于他们流了众圣徒和先知们的血，现在你使他们喝血，这正是他们应得的报应。”我又听见从祭坛发出的声音说：“是的，全能的主上帝，你的判决真实公义。”

羔羊揭开第五印的时候，我看到一个祭坛，祭坛下有许多灵魂，都是为传扬上帝的道、为祂做见证而被杀的。他们大声喊着说：“圣洁真实的主宰啊，还要等多久呢？为什么你还不审判地上那些屠杀我们的人，为我们申冤呢？”
