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.

義人若轉離他的義行，而行不公道的事，照惡人所行一切可厭惡之事而行，他哪能活着呢？他所行的一切義都不被記住；他必因他所陰謀的不忠實和所犯的罪而死於其中。

『但我的義僕卻必須本於信而活；他若退縮，我的心就不喜悅他』。

因為他們不明白上帝救人之義，只求立自己的義，就不順服於上帝救人之義了。

倘若他們既因認識我們的主、救主耶穌基督、而逃脫了世俗的染污，又在其中被纏住被制勝着，那麼他們末後的景況就比先前的更壞了。他們認識了正義之路以後，若從所傳授給他們的聖誡上退轉下去，那倒不如沒有認識過好啊。『狗轉過身來，喫自己所嘔吐的』；『豬洗了身，又去污泥裏打滾！』這真實的俗語所說的、已在這些人身上得證實了。

看哪，世人都是屬我的：為父的人怎樣屬我，為子的人也怎樣屬我：只有犯罪的人、才必須死。

而常在他裏面；不是有我自己的義、那以律法為本的義，乃是有那憑着信基督的義、那由上帝而來、以信為條件的義；

耶穌也對那些倚靠自己為義、而藐視其他的人的、講這一個比喻。『有兩個人上殿裏去禱告，一個是法利賽人，另一個是收稅人。那法利賽人站着，用以下這些話禱告說：「上帝啊，我感謝你，我不像其他的人、勒索、不義、姦淫，或者竟像這個收稅人。我每安息週禁食兩次；凡所賺得的，我納上十分之一。」那收稅人卻遠遠地站着，連舉目望天也不敢，只捶着胸膛說：「上帝啊，開恩憐憫我這個罪人哦！」我告訴你們，這個人下去、到他家裏，比那人倒算為無罪了。因為凡自高的必被降卑，自己謙卑的必被升高。』

義人呢，義人若轉離他的義而行不公道的事，當我將絆腳物放在他面前時，他就必死；因你沒有警告他，他就死在他的罪中，他素來所行的義遂不被記念，但流他血的罪、我卻要從你手裏追討。

他們從我們中間出去，卻又不曾屬於我們；如果曾屬於我們，他們就會繼續同我們在一起了；可是他們出去了，這是要顯明他們不是都屬於我們。
