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！』」
路加福音 18:10
- 14
"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
說：「有兩個人上殿裡去禱告：一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。
法利賽人站著，自言自語的禱告說：『神啊，我感謝你，我不像別人勒索、不義、姦淫，也不像這個稅吏。
我一個禮拜禁食兩次，凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。』
那稅吏遠遠的站著，連舉目望天也不敢，只捶著胸說：『神啊，開恩可憐我這個罪人！』
我告訴你們，這人回家去比那人倒算為義了；因為，凡自高的，必降為卑；自卑的，必升為高。」
馬太福音 21:31
- 32
"Which of the two did what his father wanted?" "The first," they answered. Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.
For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
你們想，這兩個兒子是那一個遵行父命呢？」他們說：「大兒子。」耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，稅吏和娼妓倒比你們先進神的國。
因為約翰遵著義路到你們這裡來，你們卻不信他；稅吏和娼妓倒信他。你們看見了，後來還是不懊悔去信他。」
路加福音 20:46
- 47
"Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely."
「你們要防備文士。他們好穿長衣遊行，喜愛人在街市上問他們安，又喜愛會堂裡的高位，筵席上的首座；
他們侵吞寡婦的家產，假意作很長的禱告。這些人要受更重的刑罰！」
