王志勇版
151問：那些使某些罪加重，比其它罪更可憎的情節是什麼？
答：罪的加重情節有:
（1）與犯罪之人有關的（耶2:8）：他們的年齡越大（伯32:7，9；傳4:13）， 或經驗越豐富，或所領受的恩典越多（王上11:4，9），在見證（撒下12:14；林前5:1）、恩賜（雅4:17；路12:47－48）、地位（耶5:4－5）、職分（撒下12:7－9；結8:11－12）上，眾所周知，為人師表（羅2:17－24），是其他人所 效法的榜樣（加2:11－14）。
（2）與被侵害者有關的（太21:38－39）：直接冒犯上帝（撒 上2:25；徒5:4；詩51:4）、祂的屬性（羅2:4）和敬拜（瑪1:8，14）；直接冒犯基督和祂的恩典（來2:2－3；12:25）；直接冒犯聖靈（來10:29；太12:31－32）、祂的見證（弗4:30）和工作（來6:4－6）；直接冒犯尊 長、處於尊位之人（猶8；民 12:8－9；賽3:5），以及和我們有特別關係與責任的 人（箴30:17；林後 12:15；詩55:12－15）；直接冒犯聖徒（番2:8，10－11；太18:6；林前6:8；啟 17:6），特別是那些軟弱的弟兄（林前8:11－12；羅14:13，15，21），冒犯他們或其他任何人的靈魂（結13:19；林前8:12；啟18:12－13；太23:15），以及傷害所有人或許多人的共同利益（帖前2:15－16；書22:20）。
（3）與犯罪性質有關的（箴6:30－33）：直接違反律法的明確內容（拉9:10－12；王上11:9－10），違背多條誡命，本身包含諸多罪（西3:5；提前6:10；箴5:8－12；6:32-33；書7:21）；不僅心中圖謀，還在言語行為上（雅1:14－15；太5:22；彌2:1），絆倒他人（太18:7；羅2:23－24）， 並且不予補償（申22:22，28－29； 箴6:32－35）；不顧蒙恩之道（太11:21－24；約15:22）、憐憫（賽1:3；申32:6）、審判（摩4:8－11；耶5:3）、自然之光（羅1:26－27）、良心責備（羅1:32；但5:22；多3:10－11）、公開或私下的勸誡（箴29:1）、教會的勸懲（多3:10；太18:17）、國家的審判（箴27:22；23:35）； 蓄意（詩36:4）、故意（耶6:16）、任意（民15:30；出21:14）、無恥（耶3:3；箴7:13）、自誇（詩52:1）、惡意（約叄10）、屢次（民14:22）、頑固（亞7:11－12）地違背我們 的禱告、決心、允諾（詩78:34－37； 耶2:20；42:5－6，20－21）、許願（傳5:4－6；箴20:25）立約（利26:25）、與上帝或他人 的約定（箴2:17；結 17:18－19）；在悔改之後,故態復萌（耶34:8－11；彼後2:20－22），仍然是歡喜作惡（箴2:14），繼續犯罪（賽57:17）。
（4）與犯罪時間（王下5:26）和地點（耶7:10；賽26:10）有 關的：在主日（結23:37－39），或其它敬拜上帝的時間（賽58:3-5；民25:6-7），或恰在此前（林前11:20－21），或恰在此後（耶7:8－10；箴7:14－15；約13:27，30），或不顧攔阻、糾正此類失敗的幫助（拉9:13－14）；或在公共場所，或有他人在場，使其受到刺激或玷污（撒下16:22；撒上2:22－24）。
