民數記 30:2
When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.
人若向耶和華許願或起誓，要約束自己，就不可食言，必要按口中所出的一切話行。
路加福音 17:32
Remember Lot's wife!
你們要回想羅得的妻子。
箴言 16:3
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
你所做的，要交託耶和華，你所謀的，就必成立。
詩篇 37:5
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:
當將你的事交託耶和華，並倚靠他，他就必成全。
列王記上 8:61
And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time."
所以你們當向耶和華我們的神存誠實的心，遵行他的律例，謹守他的誡命，至終如今日一樣。」
路加福音 9:62
Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
耶穌說：「手扶著犁向後看的，不配進神的國。」
路加福音 14:25
- 35
Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes, even their own life-such a person cannot be my disciple.
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?
For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,
saying, 'This person began to build and wasn't able to finish.'
"Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won't he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.
In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear."
有極多的人和耶穌同行。他轉過來對他們說：
「人到我這裡來，若不愛我勝過愛（愛我勝過愛：原文作恨）自己的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姐妹，和自己的性命，就不能作我的門徒。
凡不背著自己十字架跟從我的，也不能作我的門徒。
你們那一個要蓋一座樓，不先坐下算計花費，能蓋成不能呢？
恐怕安了地基，不能成功，看見的人都笑話他，說：
『這個人開了工，卻不能完工。』
或是一個王出去和別的王打仗，豈不先坐下酌量，能用一萬兵去敵那領二萬兵來攻打他的嗎？
若是不能，就趁敵人還遠的時候，派使者去求和息的條款。
這樣，你們無論什麼人，若不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的門徒。」
「鹽本是好的；鹽若失了味，可用什麼叫他再鹹呢？
或用在田裡，或堆在糞裡，都不合式，只好丟在外面。有耳可聽的，就應當聽！」
猶大書 1:3
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people.
親愛的弟兄啊，我想盡心寫信給你們，論我們同得救恩的時候，就不得不寫信勸你們，要為從前一次交付聖徒的真道竭力的爭辯。
