“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。

“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，扔在海里。

『凡使這些信的人的微小者之一絆跌的，假使一塊驢牽的磨石掛在他的脖子上，丟在海裏，這對於他倒好呢。

「無論誰使信我的這些卑微人中的一個絆倒，對那人來說，脖子上拴著大磨石，被丟進海裡反而更好。

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.

“ Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into 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 be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.

“ 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 thrown into the sea.

“ Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him if a heavy millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea.

“ But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into 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 thrown into the sea.

And whosoever shall offend one of[ these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

“ 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 tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

“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。

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。

“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。

弟兄们，我劝你们，要留心那些针对你们所受的教导而制造分裂和绊脚石的人。你们要远离他们。

他仆倒在地上，听见有声音对他说：“扫罗，扫罗！你为什么逼迫我？”

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。

许多人会随从他们好色的事；真理之道也会因他们的缘故，受到亵渎。

“那时王要回答他们，说：‘我确实地告诉你们：你们没有为我这些弟兄中最小的一个所做的事，也就是没有为我做。’“结果这些人将离去，进入永远的刑罚。然而，义人将进入永恒的生命。”

正如经上所记：“没有听说过他的人，将要看见；没有听见过的人，将要领悟。”

我在各会堂里，经常用刑逼他们说亵渎的话，又越发恼恨他们，甚至到国外的城市去逼迫他们。“那时我得到祭司长们的授权和委任往大马士革去。王啊，约在正午，我在路上的时候，看见一道光，比太阳更明亮，从天上四面照射我和与我同行的人。我们都仆倒在地。我听见有声音用希伯来语对我说：‘扫罗，扫罗！你为什么逼迫我？你脚踢刺棒，是狂妄的。’

所以，我希望年轻的寡妇结婚，生养儿女，料理家务，不给反对的人辱骂的机会。

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。

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。

我们不在任何事上给任何人跌倒的借口，免得这服事的工作被人挑剔；

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。

使你们能分辨是非，好在基督的日子里是纯洁、无可指责的，

又因为他们曾流了圣徒们和先知们的血，现在你给了他们血喝，这是他们该受的。”随后，我听见祭坛说：“是的，主、神、全能者啊，你的审判是真实的、公义的！”

羔羊打开第五个封印的时候，我看见在祭坛底下有那些为了神的话语、为了自己所持守的见证而被杀之人的灵魂。他们大声呼喊说：“神圣、真实的主啊！你不施行审判，不为我们的血向住在地上的人讨回公道，还要多久呢？”
