彼得前書 3:3
- 4
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
你們不要以外面的辮頭髮，戴金飾，穿美衣為妝飾，
只要以裡面存著長久溫柔，安靜的心為妝飾；這在神面前是極寶貴的。

約翰一書 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
凡勞苦擔重擔的人可以到我這裡來，我就使你們得安息。
我心裡柔和謙卑，你們當負我的軛，學我的樣式；這樣，你們心裡就必得享安息。
因為我的軛是容易的，我的擔子是輕省的。」

羅馬書 8:31
- 39
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
既是這樣，還有什麼說的呢？神若幫助我們，誰能敵擋我們呢？
神既不愛惜自己的兒子，為我們眾人捨了，豈不也把萬物和他一同白白的賜給我們嗎？
誰能控告神所揀選的人呢？有神稱他們為義了（或作：是稱他們為義的神嗎）。
誰能定他們的罪呢？有基督耶穌已經死了，而且從死裡復活，現今在神的右邊，也替我們祈求（有基督云云或作是已經死了，而且從死裡復活，現今在神的右邊，也替我們祈求的基督耶穌嗎）
誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？難道是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是逼迫嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？
如經上所記：我們為你的緣故終日被殺；人看我們如將宰的羊。
然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。
因為我深信無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是有能的，是現在的事，是將來的事，
是高處的，是低處的，是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕；這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裡的。
腓立比書 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
凡事不可結黨，不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀；只要存心謙卑，各人看別人比自己強。
腓立比書 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。
雅各書 4:6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."
但他賜更多的恩典，所以經上說：神阻擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。
約翰福音 6:37
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
凡父所賜給我的人必到我這裡來；到我這裡來的，我總不丟棄他。
詩篇 145:18
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
凡求告耶和華的，就是誠心求告他的，耶和華便與他們相近。
西番雅書 3:17
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."
耶和華你的神是施行拯救、大有能力的主。他在你中間必因你歡欣喜樂，默然愛你，且因你喜樂而歡呼。
約翰福音 3:16
- 17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
「神愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的，不至滅亡，反得永生。
因為神差他的兒子降世，不是要定世人的罪（或作：審判世人；下同），乃是要叫世人因他得救。
羅馬書 8:15
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
你們所受的，不是奴僕的心，仍舊害怕；所受的，乃是兒子的心，因此我們呼叫：「阿爸！父！」
羅馬書 10:13
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
因為「凡求告主名的，就必得救。」
以弗所書 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰（原文作摔跤；下同），乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的，以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。
馬可福音 12:31
The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
其次就是說：『要愛人如己。』再沒有比這兩條誡命更大的了。」
使徒行傳 10:34
- 35
Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.
彼得就開口說：「我真看出神是不偏待人。
原來，各國中那敬畏主、行義的人都為主所悅納。
詩篇 8:3
- 5
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
我觀看你指頭所造的天，並你所陳設的月亮星宿，
便說：人算什麼，你竟顧念他？世人算什麼，你竟眷顧他？
你叫他比天使（或作：神）微小一點，並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
詩篇 46:10
He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
你們要休息，要知道我是神！我必在外邦中被尊崇，在遍地上也被尊崇。
路加福音 18:9
- 14
To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
"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."
耶穌向那些仗著自己是義人，藐視別人的，設一個比喻，
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。」
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。
馬太福音 16:24
- 25
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.
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。
羅馬書 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀；
羅馬書 9:25
As he says in Hosea: "I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one,"
就像神在何西阿書上說：那本來不是我子民的，我要稱為「我的子民」；本來不是蒙愛的，我要稱為「蒙愛的」。
哥林多後書 10:17
But, "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord."
但誇口的，當指著主誇口。

Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.
王就羨慕你的美貌；因為他是你的主，你當敬拜他。

Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
被人輕賤，卻有僕人，強如自尊，缺少食物。
以賽亞書 62:4
- 5
No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah ; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married.
As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.
你必不再稱為「撇棄的」；你的地也不再稱為「荒涼的」。你卻要稱為「我所喜悅的」；你的地也必稱為「有夫之婦」。因為耶和華喜悅你，你的地也必歸他。
少年人怎樣娶處女，你的眾民（民：原文作子）也要照樣娶你；新郎怎樣喜悅新婦，你的神也要照樣喜悅你。
使徒行傳 2:21
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
到那時候，凡求告主名的，就必得救。

彼得前書 1:18
- 21
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
知道你們得贖，脫去你們祖宗所傳流虛妄的行為，不是憑著能壞的金銀等物，
乃是憑著基督的寶血，如同無瑕疵、無玷污的羔羊之血。
基督在創世以前是預先被神知道的，卻在這末世才為你們顯現。
你們也因著他，信那叫他從死裡復活、又給他榮耀的神，叫你們的信心和盼望都在於神。
耶利米書 31:3

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
小子們哪，你們是屬神的，並且勝了他們；因為那在你們裡面的，比那在世界上的更大。
