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。要尊重別人，眾人都認為好的事，應該竭力去做。如果可能，總要盡力與人和睦相處。親愛的弟兄姊妹，不要私自報復，要讓上帝來審判，因為聖經上說：「主說，『伸冤在我，我必報應。』」

不要以惡報惡，以辱駡還辱駡，反要祝福對方，這是你們蒙召的目的，好叫你們得到祝福。

因為人若為了讓良心對得起上帝而忍受冤屈之苦，就會得到恩福。如果你們犯罪受責打，能夠忍受得住，有什麼功勞呢？但如果你們因行善而受苦，還能忍受，就是上帝所喜悅的。你們蒙召也是為此，因為基督也為你們受過苦，給你們留下榜樣，叫你們可以追隨祂的腳步。祂沒有犯罪，口中也沒有詭詐。祂被辱駡也不還口，被迫害也不揚言報復，只把自己交託給按公義施行審判的上帝。

不要說：「我要以惡報惡」，要等候耶和華替你伸冤。

但我告訴你們，不要跟惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來讓他打。有人想控告你，要奪取你的內衣，連外衣也給他。有人強迫你走一里路，你就跟他走二里路。

你們彼此衝突、互相鬥毆的起因是什麼呢？不就是你們身體中不斷交戰的慾望嗎？你們貪心，得不到就去殺人。你們嫉妒，得不到就爭吵、打鬥。你們得不到是因為你們不向上帝祈求。你們求也得不到是因為你們動機不純，只求享樂和滿足自己的慾望。

你們要小心，誰都不可冤冤相報，總要彼此善待，也要善待眾人。

如果有人打你一邊的臉，連另一邊也轉過來讓他打。如果有人奪你的外衣，連內衣也由他拿去。

祂看守正義之路，護衛虔誠人的道。這樣，你就明白何為仁義、公平和正直，懂得一切美善之道。因為智慧必進入你心，知識必令你的靈歡快。

他們心懷詭詐，必受懲罰。耶和華要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的神柱。

你就會懂得敬畏耶和華，認識上帝。
