做工的得工价，不算恩典，乃是该得的；

做工的得工资不算是恩典，而是应得的；

夫行者得賞、非為恩、乃其所宜、

凡行法者、其賞不為恩、乃宜也、

凡行者得賞、非由恩也、由所宜也、

若徒憑事功、則其所得者乃為酬報、不復為恩賜矣。

Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.

When a person works, their pay is not considered a gift. It is owed to them.

Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.

When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.

Now to the one who works, pay is not credited as a gift, but as something owed.

Now to the one who works, the wages are not credited as a favor, but as what is due.

Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.

既是按着恩典，就不是由於行為了；不然，恩典就不再是恩典了。

『因為天國好像一個做家主的人，清早時分出去，雇工人進他的葡萄園。和工人約定了一天「一日工錢」，就差遣他們進他的葡萄園去。大約在上午九點，他又出去，看見市場上另有人站着，閒懶無事，就對他們說：「你們、也進葡萄園去，所應當給的，我要給你們。」他們就去。大約在中午十二點和下午三點，他又出去，也這樣行。大約在午後五點，他出去了，看見另有人站着，就對他們說：「你們為甚麼在這裏整天站着，閒懶無事呢？」他們對他說：「因為沒有人雇我們呀。」他就對他們說：「你們、也進葡萄園去。」到了傍晚，葡萄園主對他的理事說：「把工人叫來，分給他們工錢，從末後的起，到首先的為止。」那些大約在午後五點上工的來了，每人領了「一日工錢」幣。那些首先的也來了，滿以為總可多領一些；就是他們，也每人只領了「一日工錢」幣。既領了，就唧唧咕咕地對家主埋怨說：「這些末後的作了一個鐘頭的工，你竟讓他們跟我們這擔受一天之重擔和熱氣的平等呀！」家主回答他們中間一個人說：「同伴哪，我不冤你；你不是和我約定了『一日工錢』麼？你的你拿去；走吧！我願意給這末後的、正如給你一樣。我將我自己的東西按我自己的意思作，不可以麼？還是因我慈善、你就眼紅了麼？」這樣，末後的必成了首先的，首先的必成了末後的。』

為甚麼緣故呢？這是因為他們不本着信心而求，反以為可本着行為而求：他們正碰倒在那碰腳的石頭上啊！

誰先給了他，使他報答人呢？』
