出埃及記 20:1
- 10
And God spoke all these words:
"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
"You shall have no other gods before me.
"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
"You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.
神吩咐這一切的話說:
「我是耶和華你的神,曾將你從埃及地為奴之家領出來。
「除了我以外,你不可有別的神。
「不可為自己雕刻偶像,也不可做什麼形像彷彿上天、下地,和地底下、水中的百物。
不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉他,因為我耶和華你的神是忌邪的神。恨我的,我必追討他的罪,自父及子,直到三四代;
愛我、守我誡命的,我必向他們發慈愛,直到千代。
「不可妄稱耶和華你神的名;因為妄稱耶和華名的,耶和華必不以他為無罪。
「當記念安息日,守為聖日。
六日要勞碌做你一切的工,
但第七日是向耶和華你神當守的安息日。這一日你和你的兒女、僕婢、牲畜,並你城裡寄居的客旅,無論何工都不可做;
羅馬書 1:25
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
他們將神的真實變為虛謊,去敬拜事奉受造之物,不敬奉那造物的主;主乃是可稱頌的,直到永遠。阿們!
使徒行傳 17:29
"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone-an image made by human design and skill.
我們既是神所生的,就不當以為神的神性像人用手藝、心思所雕刻的金、銀、石。
出埃及記 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉他,因為我耶和華你的神是忌邪的神。恨我的,我必追討他的罪,自父及子,直到三四代;
哥林多前書 10:20
- 21
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.
我乃是說,外邦人所獻的祭是祭鬼,不是祭神。我不願意你們與鬼相交。
你們不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯,不能吃主的筵席又吃鬼的筵席。
馬太福音 4:8
- 10
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."
Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' "
魔鬼又帶他上了一座最高的山,將世上的萬國與萬國的榮華都指給他看,
對他說:「你若俯伏拜我,我就把這一切都賜給你。」
耶穌說:「撒但(撒但就是抵擋的意思,乃魔鬼的別名),退去吧!因為經上記著說:當拜主你的神,單要事奉他。」
申命記 32:17
They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God- gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your ancestors did not fear.
所祭祀的鬼魔並非真神,乃是素不認識的神,是近來新興的,是你列祖所不畏懼的。
詩篇 115:4
- 8
But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
他們的偶像是金的,銀的,是人手所造的,
有口卻不能言,有眼卻不能看,
有耳卻不能聽,有鼻卻不能聞,
有手卻不能摸,有腳卻不能走,有喉嚨也不能出聲。
造他的要和他一樣;凡靠他的也要如此。
哥林多前書 12:2
You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
你們作外邦人的時候,隨事被牽引,受迷惑,去服事那啞巴偶像,這是你們知道的。
啟示錄 9:20
- 21
The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood-idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
其餘未曾被這些災所殺的人仍舊不悔改自己手所做的,還是去拜鬼魔和那些不能看、不能聽、不能走,金、銀、銅、木、石的偶像,
又不悔改他們那些兇殺、邪術、姦淫、偷竊的事。
詩篇 31:6
I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the Lord.
我恨惡那信奉虛無之神的人;我卻倚靠耶和華。
以賽亞書 46:6
- 10
Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it.
They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer; it cannot save them from their troubles.
"Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'
那從囊中抓金子,用天平平銀子的人,雇銀匠製造神像,他們又俯伏,又叩拜。
他們將神像抬起,扛在肩上,安置在定處,他就站立,不離本位;人呼求他,他不能答應,也不能救人脫離患難。
你們當想念這事,自己作大丈夫。悖逆的人哪,要心裡思想。
你們要追念上古的事。因為我是神,並無別神;我是神,再沒有能比我的。
我從起初指明末後的事,從古時言明未成的事,說:我的籌算必立定;凡我所喜悅的,我必成就。
使徒行傳 15:29
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.

Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
然而,有一件事我要責備你,就是你容讓那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別教導我的僕人,引誘他們行姦淫,吃祭偶像之物。
啟示錄 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
惟有膽怯的、不信的、可憎的、殺人的、淫亂的、行邪術的、拜偶像的,和一切說謊話的,他們的分就在燒著硫磺的火湖裡;這是第二次的死。」
以賽亞書 46:5
"With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?
你們將誰與我相比,與我同等,可以與我比較,使我們相同呢?
以西結書 23:37
for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them.
他們行淫,手中有殺人的血,又與偶像行淫,並使他們為我所生的兒女經火燒給偶像。
約翰福音 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
時候將到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心靈和誠實拜他,因為父要這樣的人拜他。」
使徒行傳 17:22
- 31
Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.
For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship-and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone-an image made by human design and skill.
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."
保羅站在亞略巴古當中,說:「眾位雅典人哪,我看你們凡事很敬畏鬼神。
我遊行的時候,觀看你們所敬拜的,遇見一座壇,上面寫著『未識之神』。你們所不認識而敬拜的,我現在告訴你們。
創造宇宙和其中萬物的神,既是天地的主,就不住人手所造的殿,
也不用人手服事,好像缺少什麼;自己倒將生命、氣息、萬物,賜給萬人。
他從一本(本:有古卷是血脈)造出萬族的人,住在全地上,並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界,
要叫他們尋求神,或者可以揣摩而得,其實他離我們各人不遠;
我們生活、動作、存留,都在乎他。就如你們作詩的,有人說:『我們也是他所生的。』
我們既是神所生的,就不當以為神的神性像人用手藝、心思所雕刻的金、銀、石。
世人蒙昧無知的時候,神並不監察,如今卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改。
因為他已經定了日子,要藉著他所設立的人按公義審判天下,並且叫他從死裡復活,給萬人作可信的憑據。」
彼得前書 4:3
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do-living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
因為往日隨從外邦人的心意行邪淫、惡慾、醉酒、荒宴、群飲,並可惡拜偶像的事,時候已經夠了。

Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality.
然而,有幾件事我要責備你:因為在你那裡有人服從了巴蘭的教訓;這巴蘭曾教導巴勒將絆腳石放在以色列人面前,叫他們吃祭偶像之物,行姦淫的事。
啟示錄 9:20
