路加福音 9:23
Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
耶穌又對眾人說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，天天背起他的十字架來跟從我。
馬可福音 8:35
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
因為，凡要救自己生命（或作：靈魂；下同）的，必喪掉生命；凡為我和福音喪掉生命的，必救了生命。
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。
加拉太書 5:24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
凡屬基督耶穌的人，是已經把肉體連肉體的邪情私慾同釘在十字架上了。
哥林多前書 15:31
I face death every day-yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
弟兄們，我在我主基督耶穌裡，指著你們所誇的口極力的說，我是天天冒死。
羅馬書 8:12
- 13
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation-but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
弟兄們，這樣看來，我們並不是欠肉體的債去順從肉體活著。
你們若順從肉體活著，必要死；若靠著聖靈治死身體的惡行，必要活著。
馬太福音 10:38
Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
不背著他的十字架跟從我的，也不配作我的門徒。
馬太福音 16:24
- 26
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
於是耶穌對門徒說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我。
因為，凡要救自己生命（生命：譯靈魂；下同）的，必喪掉生命；凡為我喪掉生命的，必得著生命。
人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有什麼益處呢？人還能拿什麼換生命呢？
提多書 2:11
- 12
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
因為神救眾人的恩典已經顯明出來，
教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾，在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日，
馬太福音 5:39
- 41
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.
只是我告訴你們，不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打；
有人想要告你，要拿你的裡衣，連外衣也由他拿去；
有人強逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里；
路加福音 14:26
"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.
「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。
路加福音 18:29
- 30
"Truly I tell you," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life."
耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，人為神的國撇下房屋，或是妻子、弟兄、父母、兒女，
沒有在今世不得百倍，在來世不得永生的。」
約翰福音 12:24
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
我實實在在的告訴你們，一粒麥子不落在地裡死了，仍舊是一粒，若是死了，就結出許多子粒來。
加拉太書 1:4
who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
基督照我們父神的旨意，為我們的罪捨己，要救我們脫離這罪惡的世代。
彼得前書 2:24
"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed."
他被掛在木頭上，親身擔當了我們的罪，使我們既然在罪上死，就得以在義上活。因他受的鞭傷，你們便得了醫治。
彼得前書 4:1
- 11
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
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.
They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
基督既在肉身受苦，你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器，因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪斷絕了。
你們存這樣的心，從今以後就可以不從人的情慾，只從神的旨意在世度餘下的光陰。
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。
他們在這些事上，見你們不與他們同奔那放蕩無度的路，就以為怪，毀謗你們。
他們必在那將要審判活人死人的主面前交賬。
為此，就是死人也曾有福音傳給他們，要叫他們的肉體按著人受審判，他們的靈性卻靠神活著。
萬物的結局近了。所以，你們要謹慎自守，警醒禱告。
最要緊的是彼此切實相愛，因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。
你們要互相款待，不發怨言。
各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服事，作神百般恩賜的好管家。
若有講道的，要按著神的聖言講；若有服事人的，要按著神所賜的力量服事，叫神在凡事上因耶穌基督得榮耀。原來榮耀、權能都是他的，直到永永遠遠。阿們！
羅馬書 6:3
Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
豈不知我們這受洗歸入基督耶穌的人是受洗歸入他的死嗎？
羅馬書 12:1
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.
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。
以弗所書 4:20
- 24
That, however, is not the way of life you learned
when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
你們學了基督，卻不是這樣。
如果你們聽過他的道，領了他的教，學了他的真理，
就要脫去你們從前行為上的舊人，這舊人是因私慾的迷惑漸漸變壞的；
又要將你們的心志改換一新，
並且穿上新人；這新人是照著神的形像造的，有真理的仁義和聖潔。
哥林多後書 4:8
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
我們四面受敵，卻不被困住；心裡作難，卻不至失望；
馬可福音 8:34
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
於是叫眾人和門徒來，對他們說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我。
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。
以弗所書 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
又當存敬畏基督的心，彼此順服。
歌羅西書 3:3
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
因為你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裡面。
哥林多前書 13:3
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
我若將所有的賙濟窮人，又捨己身叫人焚燒，卻沒有愛，仍然與我無益。
以弗所書 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
你們作丈夫的，要愛你們的妻子，正如基督愛教會，為教會捨己。
