我雖對義人說他必能存活，但如果他仗著自己的義而犯罪，他的義將不會被記念，他必因犯罪而死亡。

我对义人说：‘你必定存活！’他若倚靠他的义而作罪孽，他所行的义都不被记念。他必因所作的罪孽死亡。

我对义人说：‘你必存活！’他若倚靠自己的义作恶，所行的义就不被记念；他必因所作的恶死亡。

我对义人说：‘你必存活！’他若倚靠自己的义作恶，所行的义就不被记念；他必因所作的恶死亡。

我虽对义人说他必能存活，但如果他仗着自己的义而犯罪，他的义将不会被记念，他必因犯罪而死亡。

我虽然对义人说他必定生存，但是他若恃着自己的义而行恶，他的一切义都必不被记念；他必因所行的恶死亡。

我對義人說：『你必定存活！』他若倚靠他的義而作罪孽，他所行的義都不被記念。他必因所作的罪孽死亡。

我對義人說：『你必存活！』他若倚靠自己的義作惡，所行的義就不被記念；他必因所作的惡死亡。

我雖然對義人說他必定生存，但是他若恃著自己的義而行惡，他的一切義都必不被記念；他必因所行的惡死亡。

我雖指着義人說他必定活着，然而他若倚靠他的義而行罪孽的事，他所行的義也都不被記得；他一定會因所行罪孽的事而死亡。

我謂義人必生、如彼自恃其義而行惡、則其義行、俱不見憶、必死於其所犯之罪、

我言善人必生、如彼自恃其善、陷罪觸法、則其前善、必不復憶、因其作惡、必置之死、

我言善人必生、如彼自恃其善而行惡、則其諸善不復記憶、必因所作之惡死亡、

If I tell a righteous person that they will surely live, but then they trust in their righteousness and do evil, none of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered; they will die for the evil they have done.

Suppose I tell a godly person that they will live. And they trust in the fact that they used to do what is right. But now they do what is evil. Then I will not remember any of the right things they have done. They will die because they have done so many evil things.

Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die.

When I tell righteous people that they will live, but then they sin, expecting their past righteousness to save them, then none of their righteous acts will be remembered. I will destroy them for their sins.

When I tell the righteous person that he will surely live, but he trusts in his righteousness and acts unjustly, then none of his righteousness will be remembered, and he will die because of the injustice he has committed.

When I say to the righteous that he will certainly live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but for that same injustice of his which he has committed he will die.

When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.

When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he die.

When I tell the righteous person that he will surely live, but he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteousness will be remembered, and he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.

When I shall say to the righteous,[ that] he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

Suppose I tell the righteous that he will certainly live, but he becomes confident in his righteousness and commits iniquity. None of his righteous deeds will be remembered; because of the iniquity he has committed he will die.

When I tell the righteous that he will surely live; if he trusts in his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.

義人若棄善行惡，與惡人同流合污，這人豈能活著？他從前的義行不會被記念，他必因自己的背信和罪惡而滅亡。

屬我的義人必靠信心而活。他若畏縮退後，我必不喜悅他。」

他們不知道上帝所賜的義，想努力建立自己的義，不肯服從上帝的義。

如果他們藉著認識我們的主和救主耶穌基督，已經擺脫了世俗的污穢，但後來又被這些事纏住、俘虜了，他們的處境會比以前更糟糕。他們明知道正路，卻背棄了傳給他們的神聖誡命，這樣倒不如不知道的好。俗語說得好：「狗轉過身來，吃自己所吐的；豬洗乾淨了，又回到污泥裡去打滾。」這些話正好用在他們身上。

因為所有的生命都屬於我，父和子都屬於我。誰犯罪，誰死亡。

與祂聯合。我成為義人不是因為遵行律法，而是因為信靠基督。這義從上帝而來，以信為基礎。

耶穌對那些自以為義、藐視別人的人講了一個比喻：「有兩個人到聖殿裡禱告，一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。法利賽人站在那裡自言自語地禱告說，『上帝啊！我感謝你，因為我不像別人那樣勒索、不義、通姦，也不像這稅吏。我每週禁食兩次，奉獻全部收入的十分之一。』「但那稅吏卻遠遠地站著，連頭也不敢抬起來，捶著胸說，『上帝啊，求你憐憫我這個罪人！』「我告訴你們，二人回家後，被上帝算為義的是稅吏而不是法利賽人，因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」

如果一個義人偏離正道、犯罪作惡，我會使他跌倒，他必死亡。如果你不告誡他，他必死在罪惡之中，他以前的義行也不會被記念，而我要追究你的責任。

這些人是從我們中間出去的，但他們不屬於我們。他們如果屬於我們，就會留在我們當中了。他們的離去表明他們都不屬於我們。
