為甚麼不說，我們可以作惡以成善呢？有人毀謗我們，說我們講過這話；這等人被定罪是應該的。

为什么不说，我们可以作恶以成善呢？这是毁谤我们的人说我们有这话。这等人定罪是该当的。

为什么不说，我们可以作恶以成善呢？有人毁谤我们，说我们讲过这话；这等人被定罪是应该的。

为什么不说，我们可以作恶以成善呢？有人毁谤我们，说我们讲过这话；这等人被定罪是应该的。

为什么你们不干脆说：“我们作恶吧，好成就善事”？有人毁谤我们，说我们传这种道理。这些人受审判是罪有应得！

为什么不说：“我们去作恶以成善吧！”（有人毁谤我们，说我们讲过这话。）这种人被定罪是理所当然的。

这样，为什么不说“让我们作恶好带来善”呢？——我们正是如此受到毁谤，也有些人说过我们讲了这话——这些人被定罪倒是应该的。

為甚麼不說，我們可以作惡以成善呢？這是毀謗我們的人說我們有這話。這等人定罪是該當的。

為甚麼不說，我們可以作惡以成善呢？有人毀謗我們，說我們講過這話；這等人被定罪是應該的。

為什麼你們不乾脆說：「我們作惡吧，好成就善事」？有人毀謗我們，說我們傳這種道理。這些人受審判是罪有應得！

為甚麼不說：“我們去作惡以成善吧！”（有人毀謗我們，說我們講過這話。）這種人被定罪是理所當然的。

難道要說：「讓我們作惡，使善來到」麼？（這是我們所受的毁謗；有人說我們曾說了這話）：這樣辯論的人之受定罪、是該當的。

這樣，為什麼不說「讓我們作惡好帶來善」呢？——我們正是如此受到毀謗，也有些人說過我們講了這話——這些人被定罪倒是應該的。

且何不為惡以致善乎、謗我者謂我儕有是言、其人服罪宜也、○

曰、若是、則謂不如為惡以致善可、然人以此誣為我言、宜服罪也、

何不行如人之所言曰、莫若作惡以致善、曰、非也、有人謗我儕誣我儕素有此言、其人受刑宜也、

曰：是不啻謂吾人當種惡因、以求善果、有是理乎？然誣吾儕持此說者、實大有人在；吾知此輩必受審判也。

Why not say— as some slanderously claim that we say—“ Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!

Why not say,“ Let’s do evil things so that good things will happen”? Some people actually lie by reporting that this is what we say. They are the ones who will rightly be found guilty.

And why not do evil that good may come?— as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.

And some people even slander us by claiming that we say,“ The more we sin, the better it is!” Those who say such things deserve to be condemned.

And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say,“ Let us do what is evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is deserved!

And why not say( just as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say),“ Let’s do evil that good may come of it”? Their condemnation is deserved.

And why not say,“ Let us do evil that good may come”?— as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.

and why not( as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say,“ Let us do what is evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is deserved!

And not[ rather],( as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

And why not say,“ Let us do evil so that good may come of it”?– as some who slander us allege that we say.( Their condemnation is deserved!)

Why not( as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say),“ Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.

這樣，我們要怎麼說呢？我們可以仍在罪中使恩典增多嗎？

那又怎麼樣呢？我們在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪嗎？絕對不可！

這樣，我們要怎麼說呢？律法是罪嗎？絕對不是！但是，若不是藉着律法，我就不知何為罪；若不是律法說「不可貪心」，我就不知何為貪心。

而且加添了律法，使得過犯增加，只是罪在哪裏增加，恩典就在哪裏越發豐盛了。

「人若因我辱罵你們，迫害你們，捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們，你們就有福了！

不過，要以溫柔、敬畏的心回答。要存無虧的良心，使你們在何事上被毀謗，就在何事上使那些凌辱你們在基督裏有好品行的人自覺羞愧。神的旨意若是要你們因行善受苦，這總比因行惡受苦好。

因為有些人偷偷地進來，就是早就被判定受懲罰的不虔誠的人，他們把我們神的恩典變為放縱情慾的機會，並且不認獨一的主宰－我們的主耶穌基督。
