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?

不可以惡報惡。大家以為美的事，要努力去作。可能的話，總要盡你們的所能與人和睦。親愛的啊，不要為自己伸冤，寧可等候主的忿怒，因為經上記著，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，因為你們就是為此蒙召，好叫你們承受福氣。

因為人若在神面前為良心的緣故，忍受冤屈的苦楚，是有福的。你們若因犯罪受責打而能忍耐，有甚麼可誇的呢？但你們若因行善而受苦，能忍耐，在神看來，這是有福的。你們就是為此蒙召，因基督也為你們受過苦，給你們留下榜樣，叫你們跟隨他的腳蹤行。“他從來沒有犯過罪，口裡也找不到詭詐。”他被罵的時候不還嘴，受苦的時候也不說恐嚇的話；只把自己交託給那公義的審判者。

你不要說：“我要以惡報惡”；要等候耶和華，他必拯救你。

可是我告訴你們，不要與惡人對抗，有人打你的右臉，把另一邊也轉過來讓他打；有人要告你，想拿你的襯衫，就連外套也讓他拿去。有人要強迫你走一里路，就陪他走兩里。

你們中間的爭執和打鬥是從哪裡來的呢？不是從你們肢體中好鬥的私慾來的嗎？你們放縱貪慾，如果得不到，就殺人；你們嫉妒，如果一無所得，就打鬥爭執。你們得不到，因為你們不求；你們求也得不到，因為你們的動機不良，要把所得的耗費在你們的私慾上。

你們要注意，不管是誰都不要以惡報惡，卻要在彼此相處和對待眾人這方面，常常追求良善。

有人打你一邊的臉，把另一邊也轉給他打；有人拿你的外衣，連內衣也讓他拿去。

為要看顧正直人的路徑，護衛虔誠人的道路。這樣，你就明白公義、公正、正直，以及一切善道。智慧必進入你的心，知識必使你歡悅。

他們心懷詭詐，現在要承擔這罪的懲罰。耶和華必拆毀他們的祭壇，毀壞他們的柱像。

你就明白怎樣敬畏耶和華，並且獲得對神的認識。
