以弗所書 4:29
- 32
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
污穢的言語一句不可出口,只要隨事說造就人的好話,叫聽見的人得益處。
不要叫神的聖靈擔憂;你們原是受了他的印記,等候得贖的日子來到。
一切苦毒、惱恨、忿怒、嚷鬧、毀謗,並一切的惡毒(或作:陰毒),都當從你們中間除掉;
並要以恩慈相待,存憐憫的心,彼此饒恕,正如神在基督裡饒恕了你們一樣。

加拉太書 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活著的不再是我,乃是基督在我裡面活著;並且我如今在肉身活著,是因信神的兒子而活;他是愛我,為我捨己。
以弗所書 2:8
- 9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
not by works, so that no one can boast.
你們得救是本乎恩,也因著信;這並不是出於自己,乃是神所賜的;
也不是出於行為,免得有人自誇。
使徒行傳 26:28
Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?"
