提摩太前書 4:8
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
「操練身體,益處還少;惟獨敬虔,凡事都有益處,因有今生和來生的應許。」
提摩太後書 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
聖經都是神所默示的(或作:凡神所默示的聖經),於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的,
彼得前書 2:11
Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
親愛的弟兄啊,你們是客旅,是寄居的。我勸你們要禁戒肉體的私慾;這私慾是與靈魂爭戰的。
彌迦書 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
世人哪,耶和華已指示你何為善。他向你所要的是什麼呢?只要你行公義,好憐憫,存謙卑的心,與你的神同行。
提摩太後書 3:1
- 9
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-
having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,
always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
你該知道,末世必有危險的日子來到。
因為那時人要專顧自己、貪愛錢財、自誇、狂傲、謗讟、違背父母、忘恩負義、心不聖潔、
無親情、不解怨、好說讒言、不能自約、性情兇暴、不愛良善、
賣主賣友、任意妄為、自高自大、愛宴樂、不愛神,
有敬虔的外貌,卻背了敬虔的實意;這等人你要躲開。
那偷進人家、牢籠無知婦女的,正是這等人。這些婦女擔負罪惡,被各樣的私慾引誘,
常常學習,終久不能明白真道。
從前雅尼和佯庇怎樣敵擋摩西,這等人也怎樣敵擋真道。他們的心地壞了,在真道上是可廢棄的。
然而他們不能再這樣敵擋;因為他們的愚昧必在眾人面前顯露出來,像那二人一樣。
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,
猶大書 1:4
For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
因為有些人偷著進來,就是自古被定受刑罰的,是不虔誠的,將我們神的恩變作放縱情慾的機會,並且不認獨一的主宰我們(或作和我們)主耶穌基督。
羅馬書 12:2
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.
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。
提摩太前書 6:17
- 19
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
你要囑咐那些今世富足的人,不要自高,也不要倚靠無定的錢財;只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的神。
又要囑咐他們行善,在好事上富足,甘心施捨,樂意供給(或作:體貼)人,
為自己積成美好的根基,預備將來,叫他們持定那真正的生命。
彼得後書 2:9
if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探,把不義的人留在刑罰之下,等候審判的日子。
彼得後書 3:11
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
這一切既然都要如此銷化,你們為人該當怎樣聖潔,怎樣敬虔,
哥林多前書 6:19
- 20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎?這聖靈是從神而來,住在你們裡頭的;並且你們不是自己的人;
因為你們是重價買來的。所以,要在你們的身子上榮耀神。
哥林多後書 7:1
Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
親愛的弟兄啊,我們既有這等應許,就當潔淨自己,除去身體、靈魂一切的污穢,敬畏神,得以成聖。
彼得後書 2:5
if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
神也沒有寬容上古的世代,曾叫洪水臨到那不敬虔的世代,卻保護了傳義道的挪亞一家八口。
羅馬書 12:1
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.
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。
彼得後書 2:6
if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
又判定所多瑪、蛾摩拉,將二城傾覆,焚燒成灰,作為後世不敬虔人的鑑戒;
詩篇 1:1
- 3
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither- whatever they do prospers.
不從惡人的計謀,不站罪人的道路,不坐褻慢人的座位,
惟喜愛耶和華的律法,晝夜思想,這人便為有福!
他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁,按時候結果子,葉子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。
提摩太前書 2:2
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
為君王和一切在位的,也該如此,使我們可以敬虔、端正、平安無事的度日。
提摩太前書 3:16
Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
大哉,敬虔的奧秘!無人不以為然:就是神在肉身顯現,被聖靈稱義(或作:在靈性稱義),被天使看見,被傳於外邦,被世人信服,被接在榮耀裡。
提摩太前書 6:11
But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
但你這屬神的人要逃避這些事,追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。
提多書 1:1
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness-
神的僕人,耶穌基督的使徒保羅,憑著神選民的信心與敬虔真理的知識,
雅各書 1:27
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.
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。
彼得後書 1:5
- 8
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
正因這緣故,你們要分外的殷勤;有了信心,又要加上德行;有了德行,又要加上知識;
有了知識,又要加上節制;有了節制,又要加上忍耐;有了忍耐,又要加上虔敬;
有了虔敬,又要加上愛弟兄的心;有了愛弟兄的心,又要加上愛眾人的心;
你們若充充足足的有這幾樣,就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上不至於閒懶不結果子了。
提摩太前書 6:5
and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
並那壞了心術、失喪真理之人的爭競。他們以敬虔為得利的門路。
彼得後書 3:7
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
但現在的天地還是憑著那命存留,直留到不敬虔之人受審判遭沉淪的日子,用火焚燒。
猶大書 1:15
to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
要在眾人身上行審判,證實那一切不敬虔的人,所妄行一切不敬虔的事,又證實不敬虔之罪人所說頂撞他的剛愎話。」
