所以，食物若叫我弟兄跌倒，我就永远不吃肉，免得叫我弟兄跌倒了。

故食物若礙我兄弟、我永不食肉、免其礙之也、

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、

Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.

So suppose what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin. Then what should I do? I will never eat meat again. In that way, I will not cause them to fall.

Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live— for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.

Therefore, if food causes my brother or sister to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won’t cause my brother or sister to fall.

Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.

Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.

Therefore, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won’t cause my brother to fall.

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

For this reason, if food causes my brother or sister to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I may not cause one of them to sin.

Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.

孰若不食肉不飲酒、以免滋人疑惑之為愈乎。

孰餒而予不為之餒？孰蹶而予不為之焦心如焚？

蓋吾儕之所以小心翼翼、不敢稍樹梗障者亦欲不辱使命而已。

明廉知恥、尚義敦禮、於利不貪、見忤不怒、不念惡、

『苟非犯罪、萬事皆可為之、』然亦有緩急輕重之分。『苟非犯罪、萬物皆可享之、』然亦不可令外物累吾之心、而使心為形役也。

爾等曷亦法予、如予之法基督乎！

夫吾乃自由之人、眾人不得而奴焉；顧甘自為眾人之奴者何也、亦欲感化眾人、使最大多數棄邪歸正而已矣。故於猶太人、吾亦儼然以猶太人自居、所以感化猶太人也。於法內之人、吾亦儼然以法內之人自居、所以感化法內之人也；實則其法無與於我耳。於法外之人、吾亦儼然以法外之人自居、所以感化法外之人也；實則就天主及基督之妙法言之、吾亦法內之人耳。於弱者、吾亦欣然以弱者自居、所以感化弱者也。蓋我甘為一切人之一切所以拯救一切人也。吾之所為、莫非為福音之故；惟如此、始克共承福音所許之惠耳。

他人尚且對爾享此權利、況吾儕乎？然吾儕向未行使此權、而甘受困乏者、蓋不欲在基督福音道上、置任何之障礙也。

若輩心術已壞、喪失信德、反抗真道、正如昔日亞乃芒伯之反抗摩西也。雖然、吾知其行不遠矣。蓋其愚妄、已昭昭在人耳目、亦如彼二人之荒謬之終見暴露耳。
