哥林多後書 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
若有人在基督裡,他就是新造的人,舊事已過,都變成新的了。
加拉太書 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活著的不再是我,乃是基督在我裡面活著;並且我如今在肉身活著,是因信神的兒子而活;他是愛我,為我捨己。
以弗所書 2:10
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
我們原是他的工作,在基督耶穌裡造成的,為要叫我們行善,就是神所預備叫我們行的。
歌羅西書 3:9
- 10
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
不要彼此說謊;因你們已經脫去舊人和舊人的行為,
穿上了新人。這新人在知識上漸漸更新,正如造他主的形像。
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。
以賽亞書 43:18
- 19
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
耶和華如此說:你們不要記念從前的事,也不要思想古時的事。
看哪,我要做一件新事;如今要發現,你們豈不知道嗎?我必在曠野開道路,在沙漠開江河。
哥林多後書 3:18
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
我們眾人既然敞著臉得以看見主的榮光,好像從鏡子裡反照,就變成主的形狀,榮上加榮,如同從主的靈變成的。
哥林多後書 5:17
- 21
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
若有人在基督裡,他就是新造的人,舊事已過,都變成新的了。
一切都是出於神;他藉著基督使我們與他和好,又將勸人與他和好的職分賜給我們。
這就是神在基督裡,叫世人與自己和好,不將他們的過犯歸到他們身上,並且將這和好的道理託付了我們。
所以,我們作基督的使者,就好像神藉我們勸你們一般。我們替基督求你們與神和好。
神使那無罪(無罪:原文作不知罪)的,替我們成為罪,好叫我們在他裡面成為神的義。
彼得前書 3:18
- 22
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits-
to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,
and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand-with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
因基督也曾一次為罪受苦(有古卷:受死),就是義的代替不義的,為要引我們到神面前。按著肉體說,他被治死;按著靈性說,他復活了。
他藉這靈曾去傳道給那些在監獄裡的靈聽,
就是那從前在挪亞預備方舟、神容忍等待的時候,不信從的人。當時進入方舟,藉著水得救的不多,只有八個人。
這水所表明的洗禮,現在藉著耶穌基督復活也拯救你們;這洗禮本不在乎除掉肉體的污穢,只求在神面前有無虧的良心。
耶穌已經進入天堂,在神的右邊;眾天使和有權柄的,並有能力的,都服從了他。
以西結書 11:19
- 20
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
我要使他們有合一的心,也要將新靈放在他們裡面,又從他們肉體中除掉石心,賜給他們肉心,
使他們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。他們要作我的子民,我要作他們的神。
羅馬書 12:1
- 5
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
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.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
所以弟兄們,我以神的慈悲勸你們,將身體獻上,當作活祭,是聖潔的,是神所喜悅的;你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。
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。
我憑著所賜我的恩對你們各人說:不要看自己過於所當看的,要照著神所分給各人信心的大小,看得合乎中道。
正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體,肢體也不都是一樣的用處。
我們這許多人,在基督裡成為一身,互相聯絡作肢體,也是如此。
加拉太書 4:9
- 10
But now that you know God-or rather are known by God-how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
現在你們既然認識神,更可說是被神所認識的,怎麼還要歸回那懦弱無用的小學,情願再給他作奴僕呢?
你們謹守日子、月分、節期、年分。
以賽亞書 65:17
- 25
"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more.
"Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.
They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them.
Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the Lord.
看哪!我造新天新地;從前的事不再被記念,也不再追想。
你們當因我所造的永遠歡喜快樂;因我造耶路撒冷為人所喜,造其中的居民為人所樂。
我必因耶路撒冷歡喜,因我的百姓快樂;其中必不再聽見哭泣的聲音和哀號的聲音。
其中必沒有數日夭亡的嬰孩,也沒有壽數不滿的老者;因為百歲死的仍算孩童,有百歲死的罪人算被咒詛。
他們要建造房屋,自己居住;栽種葡萄園,吃其中的果子。
他們建造的,別人不得住;他們栽種的,別人不得吃;因為我民的日子必像樹木的日子;我選民親手勞碌得來的必長久享用。
他們必不徒然勞碌,所生產的,也不遭災害,因為都是蒙耶和華賜福的後裔;他們的子孫也是如此。
他們尚未求告,我就應允;正說話的時候,我就垂聽。
豺狼必與羊羔同食;獅子必吃草與牛一樣;塵土必作蛇的食物。在我聖山的遍處,這一切都不傷人,不害物。這是耶和華說的。
以西結書 36:25
- 27
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
我必用清水灑在你們身上,你們就潔淨了。我要潔淨你們,使你們脫離一切的污穢,棄掉一切的偶像。
我也要賜給你們一個新心,將新靈放在你們裡面,又從你們的肉體中除掉石心,賜給你們肉心。
我必將我的靈放在你們裡面,使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。
