“ If anyone causes one of these little ones— those who believe in me— to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

“ What if someone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin? If they do, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and be drowned at the bottom of the sea.

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of 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 have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

“ 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 drowned in the depths of the sea.

「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，扔在海裏。

耶穌又對門徒說：「絆倒人的事是免不了的，但那絆倒人的有禍了！人若把這些小子中的一個絆倒的，還不如把磨石拴在他的頸項上，丟在海裏。

所以，我們不可再彼此評斷，寧可決意不給弟兄放置障礙或絆腳石。我憑着主耶穌確知深信，凡物本來沒有不潔淨的，除非人以為不潔淨的，在他就不潔淨了。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。

既然神是公義的，他必以患難報復那加患難給你們的人，也必使你們這受患難的人與我們同得平安。那時，主耶穌同他有權能的天使從天上在火焰中顯現，要報應那些不認識神和不聽從我們的主耶穌福音的人。

你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意失去這些小子中的一個。」

「你們要小心，不可輕看這些小子中的一個；我告訴你們，他們的天使在天上，常見我天父的面。

可是，你們要謹慎，免得你們這自由竟成了軟弱人的絆腳石。若有人見你這有知識的在偶像的廟裏坐席，而這人的良心是軟弱的，他豈不放膽去吃那祭過偶像的食物嗎？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。

「不可傷害我的受膏者，也不可惡待我的先知。」

你們不要使猶太人、希臘人，或神教會中的人跌倒；但要像我一樣，凡事都使眾人喜歡，不求自己的益處，只求眾人的益處，使他們得救。

我們堅強的人應該分擔不堅強的人的軟弱，不求自己的喜悅。我們各人務必要讓鄰人喜悅，使他得益處，得造就。因為基督也不求自己的喜悅，如經上所記：「辱罵你的人的辱罵都落在我身上。」

萬軍之耶和華說：刀劍哪，興起攻擊我的牧人，攻擊我的同伴吧！要擊打牧人，羊就分散了；我必反手攻擊那微小的。

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。

萬軍之耶和華在顯出榮耀之後，差遣我到擄掠你們的列國那裏，他如此說：「碰你們的就是碰他自己眼中的瞳人。

他說：「主啊！你是誰？」主說：「我就是你所迫害的耶穌。
