「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。

“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，扔在海里。

“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，扔在海里。

“但若有人使这样一个小信徒失足犯罪，他的下场比把大磨石挂在他脖子上扔到海里还要惨。

“如果有人使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪，倒不如在他的颈项上拴一块大磨石投在海里。

“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。

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。

耶穌對他的門徒們說：「那些使人絆腳的事必然出現，不過使它出現的人有禍了。對他來說，就算脖子上拴著大磨石，被丟到海裡，也比他使這些卑微人中的一個絆倒更好。

「你們要注意，不可輕視這些卑微人中的一個。我告訴你們：他們的天使在天上常常看見我天父的面。

弟兄們，我勸你們，要留心那些針對你們所受的教導而製造分裂和絆腳石的人。你們要遠離他們。

他仆倒在地上，聽見有聲音對他說：「掃羅，掃羅！你為什麼逼迫我？」

因為，如果有人看見你這有知識的人在偶像的廟裡坐席，難道不就鼓勵了他軟弱的良心，使他也去吃那祭過偶像的食物嗎？這樣，那軟弱的人，就是基督為他而死的那弟兄，就會因你的知識被毀了。當你們這樣對弟兄犯罪，打擊他們軟弱良心的時候，就是對基督犯罪。所以，如果食物使我的弟兄絆倒，我就絕不吃肉直到永遠，免得使我的弟兄絆倒。

許多人會隨從他們好色的事；真理之道也會因他們的緣故，受到褻瀆。

「那時王要回答他們，說：『我確實地告訴你們：你們沒有為我這些弟兄中最小的一個所做的事，也就是沒有為我做。』「結果這些人將離去，進入永遠的刑罰。然而，義人將進入永恆的生命。」

正如經上所記：「沒有聽說過他的人，將要看見；沒有聽見過的人，將要領悟。」

我在各會堂裡，經常用刑逼他們說褻瀆的話，又越發惱恨他們，甚至到國外的城市去逼迫他們。「那時我得到祭司長們的授權和委任往大馬士革去。王啊，約在正午，我在路上的時候，看見一道光，比太陽更明亮，從天上四面照射我和與我同行的人。我們都仆倒在地。我聽見有聲音用希伯來語對我說：『掃羅，掃羅！你為什麼逼迫我？你腳踢刺棒，是狂妄的。』

所以，我希望年輕的寡婦結婚，生養兒女，料理家務，不給反對的人辱罵的機會。

神既然真是公義的，當主耶穌與他有大能的天使們一起從天上顯現的時候，他就要以患難回報那些加患難給你們的人，也要使你們這些受患難的人與我們一同得到安息。神要在烈火中報應那些不認識神的人，以及那些不順從我們主耶穌福音的人；他們將受到刑罰，就是永遠的滅亡，從主面前被隔絕，離開他權能的榮耀。

所以，我們不要再彼此評斷，倒要下定決心，不給弟兄放下絆跌物或絆腳石。

我們不在任何事上給任何人跌倒的藉口，免得這服事的工作被人挑剔；

無論對猶太人、對外邦人，或對神的教會，你們都不可成為絆跌物；要像我那樣，也在一切事上使所有的人喜悅——不求自己的益處，而求多人的益處，好讓他們都能得救。

使你們能分辨是非，好在基督的日子裡是純潔、無可指責的，

又因為他們曾流了聖徒們和先知們的血，現在你給了他們血喝，這是他們該受的。」隨後，我聽見祭壇說：「是的，主、神、全能者啊，你的審判是真實的、公義的！」

羔羊打開第五個封印的時候，我看見在祭壇底下有那些為了神的話語、為了自己所持守的見證而被殺之人的靈魂。他們大聲呼喊說：「神聖、真實的主啊！你不施行審判，不為我們的血向住在地上的人討回公道，還要多久呢？」
