“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。

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、

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.

凡使此信我之一小子、陷於罪者、寧以磨石懸其頸、沈於深海、

耶穌謂門徒曰、陷人於罪之事、必不能無、而陷人於罪者、禍矣、與其使此小子之一陷於罪、寧以巨磨石繫其頸而投於海、

慎毋輕視此小子之一、我告爾、彼之天使在天、常見我天父之面、

兄弟乎、爾中有人起釁隙、置妨礙、以反爾所學之道、我勸爾慎視慎視或作謹防之、且避之、

遂仆地、聞有聲曰、掃羅、掃羅、何窘逐我、

彼內心暗弱者、見爾有知者、席坐於偶像之廟、不亦敢食祭偶像之物乎、是爾荏弱之兄弟、雖基督已為之死、將因爾之知而淪亡矣、爾如此得罪兄弟、傷其暗弱之內心、即得罪基督、故食物若使我兄弟躓蹶、則我永不食肉、免我使我兄弟躓蹶也、

將有多人、從其邪行、真道因之受謗、

王必謂之曰、我誠告爾、既不行之於此至微者之一、即不行之於我也、此人必入永刑、惟義者必入永生焉、

如經載云、未蒙示者將見、未得聞者將悟、

且在諸會堂、我屢刑之、強使毀謗耶穌、攻之益狂、窘逐之至外邑、於是藉祭司諸長之權、且奉其命、往大瑪色、王歟、時當日中、途間倏見自天有光、較日更耀、環照我與同行者、我眾皆仆地、我聞有聲、以希伯來言謂我曰、掃羅、掃羅、何窘逐我、爾以足觸刺難矣、

故我欲年少之寡婦再嫁、生子治家、免仇敵得毀謗之機、

天主乃公義、凡以苦加爾者、天主必以苦報之、又使爾受患難者、與我儕共得平安、迨主耶穌偕其有能之天使由天而現之時、以烈火烈火原文作火焰施刑、而報不識天主不服我耶穌基督福音者、彼必受刑、永遠沈淪、離主之面及其大能之榮光、

故我儕勿復相擬議、宜定意勿以躓人礙人之物、置於兄弟之前、

我儕凡事不使人躓礙、恐我之職受謗、

勿使人躓蹶、或猶太人、或希拉人、或天主之教會、似我凡事使眾喜悅、不求己益、乃求眾人之益、使其得救、

使爾能辨何者為有益、或作使爾能辨是非而為純潔無疵、直至基督之日、

世人流聖徒及先知之血、今主以血予之飲、彼受此報、宜也、我聞有聲自祭臺出曰、然、全能之主天主、誠哉義哉爾之審判、○

既啟第五印、我見祭臺下、有為天主之道、及為所證之證被殺者之魂、大聲呼曰、聖且誠之主歟、不審判居於地之人、為我儕伸流血之冤、將至何時、
