於是耶穌對門徒說:若有人要跟從我,就當捨己,背起他的十字架來跟從我。人若賺得全世界,賠上自己的生命,有甚麼益處呢?人還能拿甚麼換生命呢?
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. … What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? – Matthew 16:24, 26
你們中間若有缺少智慧的,應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的 神,主就必賜給他。
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. – James 1: 5
忍受試探的人是有福的,因為他經過試驗以後,必得生命的冠冕;這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. – James 1: 12
我親愛的弟兄們,這是你們所知道的,但你們各人要快快的聽,慢慢的說,慢慢的動怒,
因為人的怒氣並不成就 神的義。
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. – James 1: 19~20
在 神我們的父面前,那清潔沒有玷污的虔誠,就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦,並且保守自己不沾染世俗。
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. – James 1: 27
經上記著說:「要愛人如己。」你們若全守這至尊的律法,才是好的。
因為那不憐憫人的,也要受無憐憫的審判;憐憫原是向審判誇勝。
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. … because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. – James 2: 8,13
身體沒有靈魂是死的,信心沒有行為也是死的。
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. – James 2: 26
原來我們在許多事上都有過失;若有人在話語上沒有過失,他就是完全人,也能勒住自己的全身。
We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. – James 3: 2
箴 言11章: 10~14節 ¦ 禱讀11:11,13節
城因正直人祝福便高舉,卻因邪惡人的口就傾覆。往來傳舌的,洩漏密事;心中誠實的,遮隱事情。
Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed. …A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret. – Proverbs 11:11, 13
心中乖僻的,為耶和華所憎惡;行事完全的,為祂所喜悅。
The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but He delights in those whose ways are blameless. – Proverbs 11:20
好施捨的,必得豐裕;滋潤人的,必得滋潤。倚仗自己財物的,必跌倒;義人必發旺如青葉。
A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. …Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. – Proverbs 11:25, 28
惡人傾覆,歸於無有;義人的家,必站得住。耕種自己田地的,必得飽食;追隨虛浮的,卻是無知。
The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm. …Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense. – Proverbs 12:7, 11
愚妄人所行的,在自己眼中看為正直;惟智慧人,肯聽人的勸教。愚妄人的惱怒,立時顯露;通達人能忍辱藏羞。
The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice. Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. – Proverbs 12:15~16
殷勤人的手必掌權;懶惰的人必服苦。人心憂慮,屈而不伸;一句良言,使心歡樂。
Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. – Proverbs 12:24~25
謹守口的,得保生命;大張嘴的,必致敗亡。懶惰人羨慕,卻無所得;殷勤人必得豐裕。
Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. – Proverbs 13:3~4
驕傲只啟爭競;聽勸言的,卻有智慧。
Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. – Proverbs 13:10
