You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
神能將各樣的恩惠多多的加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足,能多行各樣善事。
如經上所記:他施捨錢財,賙濟貧窮;他的仁義存到永遠。
那賜種給撒種的,賜糧給人吃的,必多多加給你們種地的種子,又增添你們仁義的果子;
叫你們凡事富足,可以多多施捨,就藉著我們使感謝歸於神。
因為辦這供給的事,不但補聖徒的缺乏,而且叫許多人越發感謝神。

The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
你在耶和華向你列祖起誓應許賜你的地上,他必使你身所生的,牲畜所下的,地所產的,都綽綽有餘。
耶和華必為你開天上的府庫,按時降雨在你的地上。在你手裡所辦的一切事上賜福與你。你必借給許多國民,卻不至向他們借貸。
你若聽從耶和華你神的誡命,就是我今日所吩咐你的,謹守遵行,不偏左右,也不隨從事奉別神,耶和華就必使你作首不作尾,但居上不居下。」

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
有求你的,就給他;有向你借貸的,不可推辭。」
「你們聽見有話說:『當愛你的鄰舍,恨你的仇敵。』
只是我告訴你們,要愛你們的仇敵,為那逼迫你們的禱告。

你們若單愛那愛你們的人,有什麼賞賜呢?就是稅吏不也是這樣行嗎?

All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

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.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
(大衛的詩。)耶和華是我的牧者,我必不至缺乏。
他使我躺臥在青草地上,領我在可安歇的水邊。
他使我的靈魂甦醒,為自己的名引導我走義路。
我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害,因為你與我同在;你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。
在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席;你用油膏了我的頭,使我的福杯滿溢。
我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我;我且要住在耶和華的殿中,直到永遠。

因為資財不能永有,冠冕豈能存到萬代?
馬太福音 6:24
- 32
"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.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
「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)。」
「所以我告訴你們,不要為生命憂慮吃什麼,喝什麼;為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎?身體不勝於衣裳嗎?
你們看那天上的飛鳥,也不種,也不收,也不積蓄在倉裡,你們的天父尚且養活他。你們不比飛鳥貴重得多嗎?
你們那一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢(或作:使身量多加一肘呢)?
何必為衣裳憂慮呢?你想野地裡的百合花怎麼長起來;他也不勞苦,也不紡線。
然而我告訴你們,就是所羅門極榮華的時候,他所穿戴的,還不如這花一朵呢!
你們這小信的人哪!野地裡的草今天還在,明天就丟在爐裡,神還給他這樣的妝飾,何況你們呢!
所以,不要憂慮說:吃什麼?喝什麼?穿什麼?
這都是外邦人所求的,你們需用的這一切東西,你們的天父是知道的。
路加福音 10:34
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.
上前用油和酒倒在他的傷處,包裹好了,扶他騎上自己的牲口,帶到店裡去照應他。
提摩太前書 6:7
- 9
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
因為我們沒有帶什麼到世上來,也不能帶什麼去。
只要有衣有食,就當知足。
但那些想要發財的人,就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裡,叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。
希伯來書 7:6
- 10
This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.
In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
獨有麥基洗德,不與他們同譜,倒收納亞伯拉罕的十分之一,為那蒙應許的亞伯拉罕祝福。
從來位分大的給位分小的祝福,這是駁不倒的理。
在這裡收十分之一的都是必死的人;但在那裡收十分之一的,有為他作見證的說,他是活的;
並且可說那受十分之一的利未,也是藉著亞伯拉罕納了十分之一。
因為麥基洗德迎接亞伯拉罕的時候,利未已經在他先祖的身(原文作腰)中。
箴言 11:4
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
發怒的日子資財無益;惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。
箴言 23:4
- 5
Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.
Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. Saying 9
不要勞碌求富,休仗自己的聰明。
你豈要定睛在虛無的錢財上嗎?因錢財必長翅膀,如鷹向天飛去。
傳道書 9:11
I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
我又轉念:見日光之下,快跑的未必能贏;力戰的未必得勝;智慧的未必得糧食;明哲的未必得資財;靈巧的未必得喜悅。所臨到眾人的是在乎當時的機會。
使徒行傳 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "
我凡事給你們作榜樣,叫你們知道應當這樣勞苦,扶助軟弱的人,又當記念主耶穌的話,說:『施比受更為有福。』」
哥林多前書 4:2
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
所求於管家的,是要他有忠心。
創世記 14:17

After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,
and he blessed Abram, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself."
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, 'I made Abram rich.'
亞伯蘭殺敗基大老瑪和與他同盟的王回來的時候,所多瑪王出來,在沙微谷迎接他;沙微谷就是王谷。
又有撒冷王麥基洗德帶著餅和酒出來迎接;他是至高神的祭司。
他為亞伯蘭祝福,說:「願天地的主、至高的神賜福與亞伯蘭!
至高的神把敵人交在你手裡,是應當稱頌的!」亞伯蘭就把所得的拿出十分之一來,給麥基洗德。
所多瑪王對亞伯蘭說:「你把人口給我,財物你自己拿去吧!」
亞伯蘭對所多瑪王說:「我已經向天地的主至高的神耶和華起誓:
凡是你的東西,就是一根線、一根鞋帶,我都不拿,免得你說:『我使亞伯蘭富足!』
申命記 28:6
- 10
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him.
Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.
你出也蒙福,入也蒙福。
「仇敵起來攻擊你,耶和華必使他們在你面前被你殺敗;他們從一條路來攻擊你,必從七條路逃跑。
在你倉房裡,並你手所辦的一切事上,耶和華所命的福必臨到你。耶和華你神也要在所給你的地上賜福與你。
你若謹守耶和華你神的誡命,遵行他的道,他必照著向你所起的誓立你作為自己的聖民。
天下萬民見你歸在耶和華的名下,就要懼怕你。
詩篇 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
我要教導你,指示你當行的路;我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。
箴言 21:20
The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.
智慧人家中積蓄寶物膏油;愚昧人隨得來隨吞下。
箴言 21:17
Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
愛宴樂的,必致窮乏;好酒,愛膏油的,必不富足。
