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
你們蒙了重生,不是由於能壞的種子,乃是由於不能壞的種子,是藉著 神活潑常存的道。
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. – 1 Peter 1: 23
就要愛慕那純淨的靈奶,像才生的嬰孩愛慕奶一樣,叫你們因此漸長,以致得救。
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, – 1 Peter 2: 2
惟有你們是被揀選的族類,是有君尊的祭司,是聖潔的國度,是屬 神的子民,要叫你們宣揚那召你們出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. – 1 Peter 2: 9
你們雖是自由的,卻不可藉著自由遮蓋惡毒(或譯:陰毒),總要作 神的僕人。
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. – 1 Peter 2: 16
總而言之,你們都要同心,彼此體恤,相愛如弟兄,存慈憐謙卑的心。
不以惡報惡,以辱罵還辱罵,倒要祝福;因你們是為此蒙召,好叫你們承受福氣。
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. – 1 Peter 3: 8~9
你們就是為義受苦,也是有福的。不要怕人的威嚇(的威嚇:或譯所怕的),也不要驚慌;
只要心裡尊主基督為聖。有人問你們心中盼望的緣由,就要常作準備,以溫柔、敬畏的心回答各人;
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats [Or fear what they fear]; do not be frightened.” But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, – 1 Peter 3: 14~15
基督既在肉身受苦,你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器,因為在肉身受過苦的,就已經與罪斷絕了。
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. – 1 Peter 4: 1
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
