New International Version (NIV)

3Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me,

and what do I gain by not sinning?’

3“For you say, ‘What advantage will it be to You?

What benefit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

3“For you say, ‘What advantage have you [by living a righteous life]?

What profit will I have, more [by being righteous] than if I had sinned?’

3For you ask, ‘What does it profit me,

and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

3That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee?

And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

3For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

3that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you?

What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

3You ask him, ‘What good is it for me not to sin?

What do I get by not sinning?’

3But you also say, “If I do nothing wrong,

God does not bless me.

No good thing comes to me.”

3For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
