希伯來書 10:26
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
因為我們得知真道以後,若故意犯罪,贖罪的祭就再沒有了;
提多書 2:12
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾,在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日,
加拉太書 5:22
- 23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
聖靈所結的果子,就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、
溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止。
雅各書 2:14
- 26
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?
Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.
If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder.
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ?
Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
我的弟兄們,若有人說自己有信心,卻沒有行為,有什麼益處呢?這信心能救他嗎?
若是弟兄或是姐妹,赤身露體,又缺了日用的飲食;
你們中間有人對他們說:「平平安安的去吧!願你們穿得暖,吃得飽」;卻不給他們身體所需用的,這有什麼益處呢?
這樣,信心若沒有行為就是死的。
必有人說:「你有信心,我有行為;你將你沒有行為的信心指給我看,我便藉著我的行為,將我的信心指給你看。」
你信神只有一位,你信的不錯;鬼魔也信,卻是戰驚。
虛浮的人哪,你願意知道沒有行為的信心是死的嗎?
我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕把他兒子以撒獻在壇上,豈不是因行為稱義嗎?
可見信心是與他的行為並行,而且信心因著行為才得成全。
這就應驗經上所說:「亞伯拉罕信神,這就算為他的義。」他又得稱為神的朋友。
這樣看來,人稱義是因著行為,不是單因著信。
妓女喇合接待使者,又放他們從別的路上出去,不也是一樣因行為稱義嗎?
身體沒有靈魂是死的,信心沒有行為也是死的。
申命記 28:47
- 48
Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity,
therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
「因為你富有的時候,不歡心樂意地事奉耶和華你的神,
所以你必在飢餓、乾渴、赤露、缺乏之中事奉耶和華所打發來攻擊你的仇敵。他必把鐵軛加在你的頸項上,直到將你滅絕。
路加福音 16:13
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
一個僕人不能事奉兩個主;不是惡這個愛那個,就是重這個輕那個。你們不能又事奉神,又事奉瑪門。」
以賽亞書 59:18
According to what they have done, so will he repay wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes; he will repay the islands their due.
他必按人的行為施報,惱怒他的敵人,報復他的仇敵向眾海島施行報應。
路加福音 10:27
He answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'10:27Lev. 19:18 "
他回答說:「你要盡心、盡性、盡力、盡意愛主你的神;又要愛鄰舍如同自己。」
羅馬書 12:1
- 2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
所以弟兄們,我以神的慈悲勸你們,將身體獻上,當作活祭,是聖潔的,是神所喜悅的;你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。
不要效法這個世界,只要心意更新而變化,叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
哥林多前書 6:9
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
你們豈不知不義的人不能承受神的國嗎?不要自欺!無論是淫亂的、拜偶像的、姦淫的、作孌童的、親男色的、
哥林多前書 6:11
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
你們中間也有人從前是這樣;但如今你們奉主耶穌基督的名,並藉著我們神的靈,已經洗淨,成聖,稱義了。
歌羅西書 3:5
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
所以,要治死你們在地上的肢體,就如淫亂、污穢、邪情、惡慾,和貪婪(貪婪就與拜偶像一樣)。
出埃及記 22:2
- 3
"If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;
but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed. "Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft.
人若遇見賊挖窟窿,把賊打了,以至於死,就不能為他有流血的罪。
若太陽已經出來,就為他有流血的罪。賊若被拿,總要賠還。若他一無所有,就要被賣,頂他所偷的物。
馬太福音 5:38
- 39
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' ote style="f" caller="+"> 5:38 Exodus 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
「你們聽見有話說:『以眼還眼,以牙還牙。』
只是我告訴你們,不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉,連左臉也轉過來由他打;
馬太福音 6:24
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
「一個人不能事奉兩個主;不是惡這個,愛那個,就是重這個,輕那個。你們不能又事奉神,又事奉瑪門(瑪門:財利的意思)。」
馬太福音 7:1
- 2
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
「你們不要論斷人,免得你們被論斷。
因為你們怎樣論斷人,也必怎樣被論斷;你們用什麼量器量給人,也必用什麼量器量給你們。
羅馬書 1:26
- 27
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
因此,神任憑他們放縱可羞恥的情慾。他們的女人把順性的用處變為逆性的用處;
男人也是如此,棄了女人順性的用處,慾火攻心,彼此貪戀,男和男行可羞恥的事,就在自己身上受這妄為當得的報應。
羅馬書 12:19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
親愛的弟兄,不要自己伸冤,寧可讓步,聽憑主怒(或作:讓人發怒);因為經上記著:「主說:『伸冤在我;我必報應。』」

For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
因為他是神的用人,是與你有益的。你若作惡,卻當懼怕;因為他不是空空的佩劍,他是神的用人,是伸冤的,刑罰那作惡的。
哥林多前書 6:9
- 10
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
你們豈不知不義的人不能承受神的國嗎?不要自欺!無論是淫亂的、拜偶像的、姦淫的、作孌童的、親男色的、
偷竊的、貪婪的、醉酒的、辱罵的、勒索的,都不能承受神的國。
以弗所書 4:14
- 15
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
使我們不再作小孩子,中了人的詭計和欺騙的法術,被一切異教之風搖動,飄來飄去,就隨從各樣的異端;
惟用愛心說誠實話,凡事長進,連於元首基督,

for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers-and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
行淫和親男色的,搶人口和說謊話的,並起假誓的,或是為別樣敵正道的事設立的。
彼得前書 3:1
Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,
你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫;這樣,若有不信從道理的丈夫,他們雖然不聽道,也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來;

Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.
論到人的行為,我藉著你嘴唇的言語自己謹守,不行強暴人的道路。
羅馬書 9:32
Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
這是什麼緣故呢?是因為他們不憑著信心求,只憑著行為求,他們正跌在那絆腳石上。
提摩太前書 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
不可叫人小看你年輕,總要在言語、行為、愛心、信心、清潔上,都作信徒的榜樣。
啟示錄 2:19
I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
我知道你的行為、愛心、信心、勤勞、忍耐,又知道你末後所行的善事,比起初所行的更多。
