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.

“義人若轉離他的義去行惡，照著惡人所行一切可憎的事而行，他能存活嗎？他所行的一切義都不會被記念；他必因他所行不忠的事和他所犯的罪而滅亡。

我的義人必因信得生，如果他後退，我的心就不喜悅他。”

他們既然不明白神的義，而又企圖建立自己的義，就不服神的義了。

如果他們因為認識我們的主、救主耶穌基督，可以脫離世上的污穢，後來又在其中被纏住、受制伏，他們末了的景況，就比先前的更不好了。既然認識了義路，竟又背棄傳給他們的聖誡命，對他們來說，倒不如不認識好得多了。他們的情形，正像俗語所說的：“狗轉過來，又吃自己所吐的；豬洗淨了，又到污泥中去打滾。”

看哪！所有的人都是屬我的，作父親的怎樣屬我，作兒子的也怎樣屬我，唯獨犯罪的，才會滅亡。

並且得以在他裡面，不是有自己因律法而得的義，而是有因信基督而得的義，就是基於信心，從神而來的義，

耶穌向那些自恃為義、輕視別人的人，講了這個比喻：“有兩個人上聖殿去祈禱，一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。法利賽人站著，禱告給自己聽，這樣說：‘神啊，我感謝你，我不像別人，勒索、不義、姦淫，也不像這個稅吏。我一個禮拜禁食兩次，我的一切收入都奉獻十分之一。’稅吏卻遠遠站著，連舉目望天也不敢，只捶著胸說：‘神啊，可憐我這個罪人！’我告訴你們，這個人回家去，比那個倒算為義了。因為高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己謙卑的，必要升高。”

如果義人偏離正義，行事邪惡，我必把絆腳石放在他面前，他必定死亡；因為你沒有警告他，他必因自己的罪死亡。他素常所行的義，也必不被記念。但我要因他的死追究你。

他們從我們中間離去，這就表明他們是不屬於我們的。其實他們並不屬於我們，如果真的屬於我們，就一定會留在我們中間。
