如善人去善就惡、行諸不義、我所痛疾者、豈得保生乎、其所行之善、不復追憶、既犯罪作惡、必使之亡。

义人若转离义行而作罪孽，照着恶人所行一切可憎的事而行，他岂能存活吗？他所行的一切义都不被记念；他必因所犯的罪、所行的恶死亡。

至于义人，他若转离义行而作恶，照着恶人所做一切可憎的事去做，岂能存活呢？他所行的一切义都不被记念；反而因所行的恶、所犯的罪死亡。

如義人轉離其義而行惡、效惡人行可惡之事、豈得生存乎、其所行之義、不復見憶、必死於其所蹈之愆、所犯之罪、

“ But if a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.

“ Suppose a godly person stops doing what is right. And they sin. They do the same evil things a sinful person does. They do things I hate. Then they will not live. I will not remember any of the right things they have done. They have not been faithful to me. They have also committed many other sins. So they are guilty. They will die.

But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.

However, if righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and start doing sinful things and act like other sinners, should they be allowed to live? No, of course not! All their righteous acts will be forgotten, and they will die for their sins.

But when a righteous person turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, committing the same detestable acts that the wicked do, will he live? None of the righteous acts he did will be remembered. He will die because of the treachery he has engaged in and the sin he has committed.

“ But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.

“ But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.

But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

善人去善作惡、則因其所為、置諸死地、

背道之人、必與地獄之徒為伍。

祭司耶何耶大存日、約轄行善於耶和華前。

善人去善作惡、則必因其所為、置諸死地。

耶何耶大既沒、猶大諸伯、拜請於王前、王從之、遂棄列祖之上帝耶和華殿、奉事偶像、於是干上帝震怒、降災於猶大族。耶路撒冷民。上帝遣先知、訓迪民人、歸耶和華、弗聽、祭司耶何耶大子撒加利亞、感上帝之神、當眾前言曰、上帝云、爾違耶和華命曷故、爾必不亨通、爾棄耶和華、耶和華亦棄爾。民聽王命、謀害祭司、於耶和華殿院、石擊之。約轄王忘祭司耶何耶大保育之恩、殺其子、臨死呼曰、願耶和華垂顧伸冤。○

人子、當告民云、如善人陷罪、不因前善而獲救、惡人悛改、不因舊惡而殞亡、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、

掃羅違我、不遵我命、昔立之為王、今則悔焉。撒母耳甚憂、終夜禱耶和華。

余恐至時、爾不能副我所望、我不能副爾所望、恐有爭鬥、媢嫉、忿怒、朋黨、毀謗、隱刺、妄誇、混亂、勿使我至時、上帝卑我、見眾犯罪、污穢淫行、邪侈、而不悔改、為吾憂也、

爾素力行、誰阻爾不順真理乎、

如此義人有子、為盜殺人、上所言之善不作、上所言之惡屢行、食岡巒之祭品、淫人之妻、

我故云、爾必死於爾罪、蓋不信我之為我、爾死於罪必矣、

若見兄弟犯罪、苟其罪猶不致喪心、則可代求、而主必賜之生、有罪足以喪其心者、吾不曰為之求矣、諸惡無非犯罪、不喪心之罪亦有之、出自上帝者、吾知其不犯罪、既自上帝出、則自慎防閑、惡敵不足以害之、

爾以我名見憾於眾、惟終忍者得救也、

素有不為乖謬所囿者、今為偽師矜誇、虛誕、縱欲、邪侈所惑、勝我者、吾為之奴、偽師從惡、則亦為惡之奴、反以自由許弟子、如有人知救主耶穌基督道、不為污世所囿、復因憧擾而受陷、則其人之後患、較先時尤劇、既識道矣、猶棄所受之聖命、孰若不識道義之為美、然論此人、正如諺云、犬轉食其所吐、豕既潔、復淖於污泥之中、

其所作之惡、不復追憶、乃因其善、必保其生、

惟所行邪曲者、耶和華必罰之、俾與惡黨同科、願以色列族、俱享平康兮。

爾曹相愛、肆筵設席、彼必與焉、是謀哺啜、玷爾潔清、終無所懼、彼偽師如密雲不雨、為風飄搖、如秋末之樹、果落莖枯、根株盡拔、

彼既不以上帝存於中、上帝聽其喪心、行所不當行、充諸不義、淫行、惡慝、貪婪、暴狠、媢嫉、兇殺、爭鬥、詭譎、澆俗、隱刺、毀謗、怨上帝、狎侮、驕傲、矜誇、機詐、違逆父母、頑梗、背約、不情、搆怨、中無惻隱、

當日多人將語我曰、主也、主也、我非托爾名傳教、托爾名逐鬼、托爾名廣行異能乎、我將明告之曰作不善者、吾未嘗識爾、其離我去矣、○

悖逆耶和華不祈求我者、必戮之而後已、

我必速至、爾所有者守之、恐爾獲冠冕之賞、見褫於人、

播於磽地者、猶人聽道、即喜受之、惟內無根、則亦暫耳、及為道而遇難窘逐、即厭而棄之、

倘吾儕識真理後、故背教、無復贖罪之祭、乃觳觫待刑、上帝震怒、使逆理者翦滅、昔有犯摩西律法者、若二三人為證、必殺之不恤、況蹂躪上帝子、以贖己之約之血為不潔、狎侮施恩之聖神、爾意其人受刑、當如何重哉、吾知經所載、主曰、伸冤在我、我必報之、經又曰、主必鞫其民、遭永生上帝譴、伊可畏也、

邪神離人、遊行旱地、求安不得、曰、我將歸所出之室、至、則見其室闃寂、掃除修飾、遂往、又攜七神、惡於己者、入而居之、其人之後患、較先時尤劇、此惡世亦猶是也、○

乃有始則明道、蒙天錫賚、共享聖神、知上帝至理、季世有妙用、後竟背教、其不克悔改自新、猶復釘上帝子於十字架、而顯辱之、

由是門徒多有去、不復從之者、耶穌謂十二徒曰、爾曹亦欲去乎、西門彼得對曰、主有永生之言、我又誰歸、我儕信爾、知爾基督、永生上帝子也、耶穌曰、汝十有二人、非我所選者乎、然中一人魔鬼也、

惟爾人子、當告以色列族云、主耶和華曰、爾之列祖、更蹈罪愆、欺我太甚、

義人以信得生、如背道者、吾不悅之、然吾儕惟信主以得救、非若背道者、至於沉淪、

魔鬼將爾數人幽囚之、加爾以禍、受難十日、然爾雖受苦、毋畏、當盡忠至死、我必賚爾永生之賞、若加冠冕、

彼離我而出、非我友也、若我友必恆偕我、出則非我友也明矣、

所言詭詐、不順道、不行善兮、彼偃息在床、猶謀不軌、立於惡地、有過不恥兮。

如義人棄善作惡、我任其陷罪、至於死亡、彼所為之善不復繫念、死於罪戾、爾既不示之、我亦必罰爾。如爾示義人、使不犯罪、聽爾訓悔、彼可得生、爾亦無咎、

季世必有危日、爾當知之、人將自私、好利、驕泰、訕謗、逆親、辜恩、斁倫、拂情、背誓約興謠諑、縱嗜欲、行殘刻、疾善良、不信乎友、苟且自衒、樂佚樂、不愛上帝、有敬虔之名、無敬虔之實、若此者、當遠之、

爾為斯道、亦既受多苦矣、今若此、不徒然乎、其可徒然歟、

然其父殘暴、強據同儕、作惡於民間、則必蹈罪而亡。

耶穌又曰、我往、爾將求我、而必死於爾罪、我往之所、爾不得至、

惡人行橫逆而見驅、義者雖死亡而有望。
