帖撒羅尼迦後書 1:1
- 12
Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.
Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.
God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you
and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might
on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.
We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
保羅、西拉、提摩太寫信給帖撒羅尼迦在神我們的父與主耶穌基督裡的教會。
願恩惠、平安從父神和主耶穌基督歸與你們！
弟兄們，我們該為你們常常感謝神，這本是合宜的；因你們的信心格外增長，並且你們眾人彼此相愛的心也都充足。
甚至我們在神的各教會裡為你們誇口，都因你們在所受的一切逼迫患難中，仍舊存忍耐和信心。
這正是神公義判斷的明證，叫你們可算配得神的國；你們就是為這國受苦。
神既是公義的，就必將患難報應那加患難給你們的人；
也必使你們這受患難的人與我們同得平安。那時，主耶穌同他有能力的天使從天上在火焰中顯現，
要報應那不認識神和那不聽從我主耶穌福音的人。
他們要受刑罰，就是永遠沉淪，離開主的面和他權能的榮光。
這正是主降臨、要在他聖徒的身上得榮耀，又在一切信的人身上顯為希奇的那日子。（我們對你們作的見證，你們也信了。）
因此，我們常為你們禱告，願我們的神看你們配得過所蒙的召，又用大能成就你們一切所羨慕的良善和一切因信心所做的工夫；
叫我們主耶穌的名在你們身上得榮耀，你們也在他身上得榮耀，都照著我們的神並主耶穌基督的恩。
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。
詩篇 107:37
They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest;
又種田地，栽葡萄園，得享所出的土產。
約翰福音 1:1
- 3

He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
太初有道，道與神同在，道就是神。
這道太初與神同在。
萬物是藉著他造的；凡被造的，沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。
出埃及記 20:11
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

歷代志下 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
這稱為我名下的子民，若是自卑、禱告，尋求我的面，轉離他們的惡行，我必從天上垂聽，赦免他們的罪，醫治他們的地。
詩篇 24:1
- 10
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.
Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?
The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior.
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. :6The Hebrew has Selah(a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 10.
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty- he is the King of glory.
（大衛的詩。）地和其中所充滿的，世界和住在其間的，都屬耶和華。
他把地建立在海上，安定在大水之上。
誰能登耶和華的山？誰能站在他的聖所？
就是手潔心清、不向虛妄、起誓不懷詭詐的人。
他必蒙耶和華賜福，又蒙救他的神使他成義。
這是尋求耶和華的族類，是尋求你面的雅各。（細拉）
眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要被舉起！那榮耀的王將要進來！
榮耀的王是誰呢？就是有力有能的耶和華，在戰場上有能的耶和華！
眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要把頭抬起！那榮耀的王將要進來！
榮耀的王是誰呢？萬軍之耶和華，他是榮耀的王！（細拉）

When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.
於是那些術士、用法術的、迦勒底人、觀兆的都進來，我將那夢告訴了他們，他們卻不能把夢的講解告訴我。
但以理書 4:7
- 14
When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.
Finally, Daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream. (He is called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him.)
I said, "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Here is my dream; interpret it for me.
These are the visions I saw while lying in bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous.
The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the earth.
Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and on it was food for all. Under it the wild animals found shelter, and the birds lived in its branches; from it every creature was fed.
"In the visions I saw while lying in bed, I looked, and there before me was a holy one, a messenger, coming down from heaven.
He called in a loud voice: 'Cut down the tree and trim off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it and the birds from its branches.
於是那些術士、用法術的、迦勒底人、觀兆的都進來，我將那夢告訴了他們，他們卻不能把夢的講解告訴我。
末後那照我神的名，稱為伯提沙撒的但以理來到我面前，他裡頭有聖神的靈，我將夢告訴他說：
『術士的領袖伯提沙撒啊，因我知道你裡頭有聖神的靈，什麼奧秘的事都不能使你為難。現在要把我夢中所見的異象和夢的講解告訴我。』
「我在床上腦中的異象是這樣：我看見地當中有一棵樹，極其高大。
那樹漸長，而且堅固，高得頂天，從地極都能看見，
葉子華美，果子甚多，可作眾生的食物；田野的走獸臥在蔭下，天空的飛鳥宿在枝上；凡有血氣的都從這樹得食。
「我在床上腦中的異象，見有一位守望的聖者從天而降。
大聲呼叫說：『伐倒這樹！砍下枝子！搖掉葉子！拋散果子！使走獸離開樹下，飛鳥躲開樹枝。
希伯來書 1:14
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
天使豈不都是服役的靈、奉差遣為那將要承受救恩的人效力嗎？
彼得後書 2:3
In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
他們因有貪心，要用捏造的言語在你們身上取利。他們的刑罰，自古以來並不遲延；他們的滅亡也必速速來到（原文作不打盹）。
