- 2
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
你們中間的爭戰鬥毆是從那裡來的呢？不是從你們百體中戰鬥之私慾來的嗎？
你們貪戀，還是得不著；你們殺害嫉妒，又鬥毆爭戰，也不能得。你們得不著，是因為你們不求。

- 10
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."
Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' "

馬太福音 23:5
- 7
"Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries ote style="f" caller="+"> 23:5 That is, boxes containing Scripture verses, worn on forehead and arm wide and the tassels on their garments long;
they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called 'Rabbi' by others.
他們一切所做的事都是要叫人看見，所以將佩戴的經文做寬了，衣裳的繸子做長了，
喜愛筵席上的首座，會堂裡的高位，
又喜愛人在街市上問他安，稱呼他拉比（拉比就是夫子）。
羅馬書 12:16
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
要彼此同心；不要志氣高大，倒要俯就卑微的人（人：或作事）；不要自以為聰明。
腓立比書 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
凡事不可結黨，不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀；只要存心謙卑，各人看別人比自己強。

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
我勸你，第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝；
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。
但以理書 1:8

提摩太後書 3:12
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
不但如此，凡立志在基督耶穌裡敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。
