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？

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？

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

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

所以，你們彼此告狀，對你們已經是一個全然的失敗。你們為什麼不情願受委屈呢？為什麼不情願受虧負呢？

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?

不要对任何人以恶报恶；要敬重所有的人看为美善的事；如果有可能，尽量在你们的事上与所有的人和睦。各位蒙爱的人哪，不要自己报复，宁可给神的震怒留地步，因为经上记着：“主说：报应在我，我将回报。”

不要以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂，反要祝福，因为你们是为此蒙召的，好使你们继承祝福。

因为人如果为了在神面前良心的缘故，在不公正的苦害中忍受忧患，这是可称赞的；就是说，如果你们因犯罪受责打而忍耐，有什么可称赞的呢？但如果你们因行善受苦害而忍耐，这在神看来是可称赞的。原来你们是为此蒙召的，因为基督也为你们受了苦害，给你们留下了榜样，好让你们追随他的脚踪。他没有犯过罪，在他口中也找不出诡诈；他被辱骂的时候，不还口；受苦害的时候，不说威吓的话，而是把自己交托给以公义施行审判的那一位。

你不可说：“我要以恶报恶”；你当等候耶和华，他必拯救你。

但是我告诉你们：不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，把左脸也转给他；有人想要控告你，并要拿走你的里衣，你就连外衣也由他拿去；有人强迫你走一里路，你就与他一起走两里；

你们中间的冲突是从哪里来的？争执是从哪里来的？难道不是从你们身体各部分中交战的私欲而来的吗？你们渴望而不能拥有，就杀人；你们嫉妒而不能获得，就争斗、作战。你们不能拥有，是因为你们不求；你们求也不能得到，是因为你们求的动机不对，为了要花费在自己的私欲上。

你们要注意，谁都不要以恶报恶；相反，无论是彼此之间，还是对待众人，总要追求美善。

有人打你这边的脸，把另一边也让他打；有人拿走你的外衣，连里衣也不要阻止他拿；

为要守护公正的路，看守他忠信者的道；你也会领悟公义、公正、公平，就是一切美善的路；因为智慧会进入你的心，知识会使你的灵魂欣喜；

那么，你就会领悟什么是敬畏耶和华，并且寻得对神的认识；
