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。

耶穌又對門徒說：“使人犯罪的事是免不了的，但那使人犯罪的人有禍了！就算拿一塊大磨石拴在他的頸項上，把他沉在深海裡，比他使這小子中的一個犯罪還好。

“你們要小心，不要輕視這些小弟兄中的一個。我告訴你們，他們的使者在天上，常常見到我天父的面。﹙有些抄本有第

弟兄們，我勸你們要提防那些離間你們、絆倒你們、使你們違反你們所學的教義的人。你們也要避開他們，

他仆倒在地，聽見有聲音對他說：“掃羅，掃羅！你為甚麼迫害我？”

因為如果有人看見你這有知識的人，在偶像的廟裡吃喝，他的良心若是軟弱，他不就放膽去吃那祭過偶像的食物嗎？因此，基督已經為他死了的那軟弱的弟兄，就因你的知識而滅亡了。你們這樣得罪弟兄，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督了。所以，如果食物使我的弟兄跌倒，我就永遠不再吃肉，免得使我的弟兄跌倒了。

許多人會隨從他們的淫行，因此真理的道，就因他們的緣故被人毀謗。

王要回答他們：‘我實在告訴你們，這些事你們既然沒有作在一個最小的身上，就是沒有作在我的身上了。’他們要進入永遠的刑罰，義人卻要進入永生。”

反而照經上所記：“那對他一無所聞的，將要看見；那沒有聽過的，將要明白。”

因此，我願年輕的寡婦結婚，生兒育女，管理家務，不給敵人有辱罵的機會；

神既然是公義的，主耶穌和他有能力的天使從天上顯現在火燄中的時候，就使你們這些受災難的人，可以和我們同享安息；卻以災難報應那些把災難加給你們的人。

所以，我們不要再彼此批評了；倒要立定主意，決不作絆倒弟兄或使他跌倒的事。

我們凡事都沒有妨礙人，不讓這職分受到毀謗，

無論是猶太人，是希臘人，是神的教會，你們總不可使他們跌倒；就好像我所作的一切，都是要使大家喜悅，不是要求自己的好處，而是要求別人的好處，為了要使他們得救。

使你們可以辨別是非，成為真誠無可指摘的人，直到基督的日子，

因為他們曾流聖徒和先知的血，現在你給他們血喝，這是他們該受的。”我又聽見祭壇中有聲音說：“是的，主啊！全能的神，你的審判真實、公義！”

羊羔揭開了第五個印的時候，我看見祭壇底下，有為了神的道，並且為了自己所作的見證而被殺的人的靈魂。他們大聲喊叫，說：“聖潔真實的主啊！你不審判住在地上的人，給我們伸流血的冤，要到幾時呢？”
