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?

不要以恶报恶，众人以为美的事要留心去做。若是可行，总要尽力与众人和睦。各位亲爱的，不要自己伸冤，宁可给主的愤怒留地步，因为经上记着：“主说：‘伸冤在我，我必报应。’”

不要以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂，倒要祝福，因为你们正是为此蒙召的，好使你们承受福气。

倘若你们为使良心对得起上帝，忍受冤屈的痛苦，这是可赞许的。你们若因犯罪受责打而忍耐，有什么可称赞的呢？但你们若因行善受苦而忍耐，这在上帝看来是可赞许的。你们蒙召就是为此，因为基督也为你们受过苦，给你们留下榜样，为要使你们跟随他的脚踪。“他并没有犯罪，口里也没有诡诈。”他被辱骂不还口，受害也不说威吓的话，只将自己交托给公义的审判者。

你不要说：“我要以恶报恶”；要等候耶和华，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，连另一边也转过去由他打。有人想要告你，要拿你的里衣，连外衣也由他拿去。有人强迫你走一里路，你就跟他走二里。

你们中间的冲突是哪里来的？争执是哪里来的？不是从你们肢体中交战着的私欲来的吗？你们贪恋，得不着就杀人；你们嫉妒，不能得手就起争执和冲突；你们得不着，是因为你们不求。你们求也得不着，是因为你们妄求，为了要浪费在你们的宴乐中。

你们要谨慎，无论是谁都不要以恶报恶，彼此间和对众人都要追求做好事。

有人打你的脸，连另一边也由他打。有人拿你的外衣，连内衣也由他拿去。

为要保护公正的路，庇护虔诚人的道。那时，你就明白公义、公平、正直，和一切完善的道路。因为智慧要进入你的心，知识要使你内心欢愉。

他们心怀二意，现今要定为有罪。耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛，粉碎他们的柱像。

你就懂得敬畏耶和华，得以认识上帝。
