我若說「我要這樣講」，就是愧對這世代的眾兒女了。

我若说，“我要这样讲”，这就是以奸诈待你的众子。

我若心裏說：『我要持這言論』，那我就對主你子孫的族類不住了。

我若自謂必為是言、乃行詐於爾眾子兮、

予言若此、逆上帝眾子兮、

我若如此言論、恐待主之子民不誠實、

我若隨聲和。將遺子孫毒。

If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.

What if I had talked like that? Then I wouldn’t have been faithful to God’s children.

If I had said,“ I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

If I had really spoken this way to others, I would have been a traitor to your people.

「凡使這些信我的小子中的一個跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，沉在深海裏。這世界有禍了，因為它使人跌倒；絆倒人的事是免不了的，但那絆倒人的有禍了！

這是尋求耶和華的族類，是尋求你面的雅各。（細拉）

必有後裔事奉他，主所做的事必傳給後代。

無論是吃肉是喝酒，是甚麼別的事，使弟兄跌倒，一概不做，才是善的。

不過，你們是被揀選的一族，是君尊的祭司，是神聖的國度，是屬神的子民，要使你們宣揚那召你們出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。

他們在那裏大大害怕，因為神在義人的族類中。

我兒啊，不可這樣！我聽到耶和華的百姓傳出你們不好的名聲。

你們卻偏離正道，使許多人在這訓誨上絆跌。你們破壞了我與利未人所立的約。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。

你若因食物使弟兄憂愁，就不是按着愛心行事。基督已經為他死，你不可因你的食物使他敗壞。

因此，基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄，也就因你的知識沉淪了。你們這樣得罪弟兄，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督。所以，食物若使我的弟兄跌倒，我就永遠不吃肉，免得使我的弟兄跌倒了。
