爾曹爭訟、其過大矣、孰若受害受虧為美、

你们彼此告状，这已经是你们的大错了。为什么不情愿受欺呢？为什么不情愿吃亏呢？

你们彼此告状，这已经是你们的大错了。为什么不情愿受冤屈呢？为什么不情愿吃亏呢？

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？

所以，你们彼此告状，对你们已经是一个全然的失败。你们为什么不情愿受委屈呢？为什么不情愿受亏负呢？

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？

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?

勿以惡報惡、眾所善者、則務之、有可和眾、則盡力與之和、凡我良朋、毋伸己冤、寧待主怒、記有之、主曰、伸冤在我、我必報之、

勿以惡報惡、詬而不反、更為祝嘏知爾見召、以得福祉、

爾受枉、緣上帝而忍之、則可嘉矣、爾有過、見撻而忍受之、亦何足褒、若爾行善、反遘艱辛、能忍、則為上帝所嘉、爾見召者為此、昔基督緣我受苦遺法與我、使繼其武、其不行惡、口無詭譎、見詬不反、受苦不校、上帝鞫人至公、耶穌托之、

毋以惡報惡、望耶和華救我。

惟我語汝、勿敵惡、有人批爾右頰、轉左頰向之、有人訟爾、欲得爾裹衣、外服亦聽取之、有人強爾行一里、則偕行二里、

戰鬥爭競、何自而來、非欲戰於中而生乎、爾欲而不得、爾忿怒殺戮、而終無所獲、爾戰鬥爭競、而無所得者、因爾不知求、爾求而不得、妄求從欲故也、

慎勿以惡報惡、或交友、或待眾、恆從善如不及、

擊爾頰、則轉頰以與之、奪爾外服、勿禁裏衣也、

秉公義之理、保敬虔之士、爾既求智、則百善由此而知、仁義由此而明。若大道之洽於心、快於意、

以色列族咸懷二心、必遭重罰、傾其祭壇、毀其偶像。

夫如是、則耶和華上帝、所當寅畏、可得而知矣。
