你们互相指控，已经是很大的失败，为什么不能甘愿受欺负、吃点亏呢？

你们彼此告状，已经是你们的失败了。为什么不宁愿受委屈呢？为什么不甘心吃亏呢？

你們彼此告狀，這已經是你們的大錯了。為甚麼不情願受欺呢？為甚麼不情願吃虧呢？

夫爾曹相訟、其失已甚、盍寧受枉受虧乎、

爾曹爭訟、其過大矣、孰若受害受虧為美、

爾彼此爭訟、已為爾之大過、何不忍以受欺、何不忍以受虧乎、

又有進者、兄弟間有爭訟之事、已屬不是；孰若甘心抱屈、犯而不校之為善乎？

The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

When you take another believer to court, you have lost the battle already. Why not be treated wrongly? Why not be cheated?

To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated?

As it is, to have legal disputes against one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

Therefore, to have legal disputes against one another is already a moral failure for you. Why not rather put up with injustice? Why not rather be cheated?

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather[ suffer yourselves to] be defrauded?

The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

不要以惡報惡，眾人以為美的事要留心去做。若是可行，總要盡力與眾人和睦。各位親愛的，不要自己伸冤，寧可給主的憤怒留地步，因為經上記着：「主說：『伸冤在我，我必報應。』」

不要以惡報惡，以辱罵還辱罵，倒要祝福，因為你們正是為此蒙召的，好使你們承受福氣。

倘若你們為使良心對得起神，忍受冤屈的痛苦，這是可讚許的。你們若因犯罪受責打而忍耐，有甚麼可稱讚的呢？但你們若因行善受苦而忍耐，這在神看來是可讚許的。你們蒙召就是為此，因為基督也為你們受過苦，給你們留下榜樣，為要使你們跟隨他的腳蹤。「他並沒有犯罪，口裏也沒有詭詐。」他被辱罵不還口，受害也不說威嚇的話，只將自己交託給公義的審判者。

你不要說：「我要以惡報惡」；要等候耶和華，他必拯救你。

但是我告訴你們：不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連另一邊也轉過去由他打。有人想要告你，要拿你的裏衣，連外衣也由他拿去。有人強迫你走一里路，你就跟他走二里。

你們中間的衝突是哪裏來的？爭執是哪裏來的？不是從你們肢體中交戰着的私慾來的嗎？你們貪戀，得不着就殺人；你們嫉妒，不能得手就起爭執和衝突；你們得不着，是因為你們不求。你們求也得不着，是因為你們妄求，為了要浪費在你們的宴樂中。

你們要謹慎，無論是誰都不要以惡報惡，彼此間和對眾人都要追求做好事。

有人打你的臉，連另一邊也由他打。有人拿你的外衣，連內衣也由他拿去。

為要保護公正的路，庇護虔誠人的道。那時，你就明白公義、公平、正直，和一切完善的道路。因為智慧要進入你的心，知識要使你內心歡愉。

他們心懷二意，現今要定為有罪。耶和華必拆毀他們的祭壇，粉碎他們的柱像。

你就懂得敬畏耶和華，得以認識神。
