彼得後書 2:19
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity-for "people are slaves to whatever has mastered them."
他們應許人得以自由，自己卻作敗壞的奴僕，因為人被誰制伏就是誰的奴僕。
加拉太書 6:8
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
順著情慾撒種的，必從情慾收敗壞；順著聖靈撒種的，必從聖靈收永生。
使徒行傳 2:27
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay.
因你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間，也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。
羅馬書 8:21
that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

約翰福音 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:21
but test them all; hold on to what is good,
但要凡事察驗，善美的要持守，
彼得後書 1:4
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
因此，他已將又寶貴又極大的應許賜給我們，叫我們既脫離世上從情慾來的敗壞，就得與神的性情有分。
創世記 6:5

耶和華見人在地上罪惡很大，終日所思想的盡都是惡，

約翰福音 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，你們父的私慾你們偏要行。他從起初是殺人的，不守真理，因他心裡沒有真理。他說謊是出於自己；因他本來是說謊的，也是說謊之人的父。
使徒行傳 13:34
- 37
God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said, " 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
So it is also stated elsewhere: " 'You will not let your holy one see decay.'
"Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.
But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
論到神叫他從死裡復活，不再歸於朽壞，就這樣說：我必將所應許大衛那聖潔、可靠的恩典賜給你們。
又有一篇上說：你必不叫你的聖者見朽壞。
「大衛在世的時候遵行了神的旨意，就睡了（或作：大衛按神的旨意服事了他那一世的人，就睡了），歸到他祖宗那裡，已見朽壞；
惟獨神所復活的，他並未見朽壞。
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。
啟示錄 2:2
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
我知道你的行為、勞碌、忍耐，也知道你不能容忍惡人。你也曾試驗那自稱為使徒卻不是使徒的，看出他們是假的來。
詩篇 16:10
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
因為你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間，也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。
耶利米書 8:8
" 'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
你們怎麼說：我們有智慧，耶和華的律法在我們這裡？看哪，文士的假筆舞弄虛假。
馬太福音 13:47
- 50
"Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.
When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.
This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous
and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
天國又好像網撒在海裡，聚攏各樣水族，
網既滿了，人就拉上岸來，坐下，揀好的收在器具裡，將不好的丟棄了。
世界的末了也要這樣。天使要出來，從義人中把惡人分別出來，
丟在火爐裡；在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。」
羅馬書 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
因為罪的工價乃是死；惟有神的恩賜，在我們的主基督耶穌裡，乃是永生。
哥林多後書 11:13
- 15
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
那等人是假使徒，行事詭詐，裝作基督使徒的模樣。
這也不足為怪，因為連撒但也裝作光明的天使。
所以他的差役，若裝作仁義的差役，也不算希奇。他們的結局必然照著他們的行為。
以弗所書 2:1
- 3
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
你們死在過犯罪惡之中，他叫你們活過來。
那時，你們在其中行事為人，隨從今世的風俗，順服空中掌權者的首領，就是現今在悖逆之子心中運行的邪靈。
我們從前也都在他們中間，放縱肉體的私慾，隨著肉體和心中所喜好的去行，本為可怒之子，和別人一樣。
馬太福音 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。
使徒行傳 3:19
- 21
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you-even Jesus.
Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
所以，你們當悔改歸正，使你們的罪得以塗抹，這樣，那安舒的日子就必從主面前來到；
主也必差遣所預定給你們的基督（耶穌）降臨。
天必留他，等到萬物復興的時候，就是神從創世以來、藉著聖先知的口所說的。
羅馬書 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀；
創世記 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
神說：「我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，和全地，並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。」
申命記 31:25
- 29
he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord:
"Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the Lord while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to testify against them.
For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made."
就吩咐抬耶和華約櫃的利未人說：
「將這律法書放在耶和華你們神的約櫃旁，可以在那裡見證以色列人的不是；
因為我知道你們是悖逆的，是硬著頸項的。我今日還活著與你們同在，你們尚且悖逆耶和華，何況我死後呢？
你們要將你們支派的眾長老和官長都招聚了來，我好將這些話說與他們聽，並呼天喚地見證他們的不是。
我知道我死後，你們必全然敗壞，偏離我所吩咐你們的道，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，以手所做的惹他發怒；日後必有禍患臨到你們。」
約伯記 21:13
They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.
他們度日諸事亨通，轉眼下入陰間。
詩篇 14:2
- 3
The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
耶和華從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有，有尋求神的沒有。
他們都偏離正路，一同變為污穢；並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。
詩篇 58:3
Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
惡人一出母胎就與神疏遠，一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。
以賽亞書 64:6
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
我們都像不潔淨的人；所有的義都像污穢的衣服。我們都像葉子漸漸枯乾；我們的罪孽好像風把我們吹去。
馬太福音 7:21
- 23
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
「凡稱呼我『主啊，主啊』的人不能都進天國；惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人才能進去。
當那日必有許多人對我說：『主啊，主啊，我們不是奉你的名傳道，奉你的名趕鬼，奉你的名行許多異能嗎？』
我就明明的告訴他們說：『我從來不認識你們，你們這些作惡的人，離開我去吧！』」
約翰福音 14:6

羅馬書 7:18
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
我也知道在我裡頭，就是我肉體之中，沒有良善。因為，立志為善由得我，只是行出來由不得我。
羅馬書 8:29
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
因為他預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣，使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。
以弗所書 2:3
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
我們從前也都在他們中間，放縱肉體的私慾，隨著肉體和心中所喜好的去行，本為可怒之子，和別人一樣。

he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
