But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

哥林多後書 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

馬太福音 5:11

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
「人若因我辱罵你們,逼迫你們,捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們,你們就有福了!
應當歡喜快樂,因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。在你們以前的先知,人也是這樣逼迫他們。」

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
聖經都是神所默示的(或作:凡神所默示的聖經),於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的,

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
然而主的僕人不可爭競,只要溫溫和和的待眾人,善於教導,存心忍耐,
用溫柔勸戒那抵擋的人;或者神給他們悔改的心,可以明白真道,

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。
