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
要叫你們行事對得起那召你們進他國、得他榮耀的 神。
encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. – 1 Thessalonians 2: 12
為此,我們也不住的感謝 神,因你們聽見我們所傳 神的道就領受了;不以為是人的道,乃以為是 神的道。這道實在是 神的,並且運行在你們信主的人心中。
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. – 1 Thessalonians 2: 13
我們的盼望和喜樂,並所誇的冠冕是甚麼呢?豈不是我們主耶穌來的時候,你們在他面前站立得住麼?
因為你們就是我們的榮耀,我們的喜樂。
For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy. – 1 Thessalonians 2: 19~20
免得有人被諸般患難搖動。因為你們自己知道我們受患難原是命定的。
so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them. – 1 Thessalonians 3: 3
你們若靠主站立得穩,我們就活了。
我們在 神面前,因著你們甚是喜樂,為這一切喜樂,可用何等的感謝為你們報答神呢?
For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? – 1 Thessalonians 3: 8~9
又願主叫你們彼此相愛的心,並愛眾人的心都能增長、充足,如同我們愛你們一樣;
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. – 1 Thessalonians 3: 12
好使你們當我們主耶穌同他眾聖徒來的時候,在我們父 神面前,心裡堅固,成為聖潔,無可責備。
May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. – 1 Thessalonians 3: 13
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
