馬可福音 16:15
- 16
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
他又對他們說：「你們往普天下去，傳福音給萬民（萬民：原文作凡受造的）聽。
信而受洗的，必然得救；不信的，必被定罪。
約伯記 35:10
- 12
But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?'
He does not answer when people cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked.
卻無人說：造我的神在那裡？他使人夜間歌唱，
教訓我們勝於地上的走獸，使我們有聰明勝於空中的飛鳥。
他們在那裡，因惡人的驕傲呼求，卻無人答應。
詩篇 8:1
- 6
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
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.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
（大衛的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。）耶和華我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。
你因敵人的緣故，從嬰孩和吃奶的口中，建立了能力，使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。
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。
你派他管理你手所造的，使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裡的魚，凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。
詩篇 8:9
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
耶和華我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！
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。
羅馬書 10:16
- 18
But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?"
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."
只是人沒有都聽從福音，因為以賽亞說：「主啊，我們所傳的有誰信呢？」
可見信道是從聽道來的，聽道是從基督的話來的。
但我說，人沒有聽見嗎？誠然聽見了。他們的聲音傳遍天下；他們的言語傳到地極。
使徒行傳 14:17
Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy."
然而為自己未嘗不顯出證據來，就如常施恩惠，從天降雨，賞賜豐年，叫你們飲食飽足，滿心喜樂。」
使徒行傳 17:23
- 28
For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship-and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
我遊行的時候，觀看你們所敬拜的，遇見一座壇，上面寫著『未識之神』。你們所不認識而敬拜的，我現在告訴你們。
創造宇宙和其中萬物的神，既是天地的主，就不住人手所造的殿，
也不用人手服事，好像缺少什麼；自己倒將生命、氣息、萬物，賜給萬人。
他從一本（本：有古卷是血脈）造出萬族的人，住在全地上，並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界，
要叫他們尋求神，或者可以揣摩而得，其實他離我們各人不遠；
我們生活、動作、存留，都在乎他。就如你們作詩的，有人說：『我們也是他所生的。』
羅馬書 1:18
- 21
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
原來，神的忿怒從天上顯明在一切不虔不義的人身上，就是那些行不義阻擋真理的人。
神的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裡，因為神已經給他們顯明。
自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉著所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。
因為，他們雖然知道神，卻不當作神榮耀他，也不感謝他。他們的思念變為虛妄，無知的心就昏暗了。
羅馬書 10:1
- 4
Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
弟兄們，我心裡所願的，向神所求的，是要以色列人得救。
我可以證明他們向神有熱心，但不是按著真知識；
因為不知道神的義，想要立自己的義，就不服神的義了。
律法的總結就是基督，使凡信他的都得著義。
彼得後書 1:5
- 9
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
正因這緣故，你們要分外的殷勤；有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知識；
有了知識，又要加上節制；有了節制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬；
有了虔敬，又要加上愛弟兄的心；有了愛弟兄的心，又要加上愛眾人的心；
你們若充充足足的有這幾樣，就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上不至於閒懶不結果子了。
人若沒有這幾樣，就是眼瞎，只看見近處的，忘了他舊日的罪已經得了潔淨。
約伯記 37:1
- 24
"At this my heart pounds and leaps from its place.
Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.'
So that everyone he has made may know his work, he stops all people from their labor.
The animals take cover; they remain in their dens.
The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds.
The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.
He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them.
At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them.
He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.
"Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God's wonders.
Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?
You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?
"Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.
Should he be told that I want to speak? Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty.
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
Therefore, people revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart? "
因此我心戰兢，從原處移動。
聽啊，神轟轟的聲音是他口中所發的響聲。
他發響聲震遍天下，發電光閃到地極。
隨後人聽見有雷聲轟轟，大發威嚴，雷電接連不斷。
神發出奇妙的雷聲；他行大事，我們不能測透。
他對雪說：要降在地上；對大雨和暴雨也是這樣說。
他封住各人的手，叫所造的萬人都曉得他的作為。
百獸進入穴中，臥在洞內。
暴風出於南宮；寒冷出於北方。
神噓氣成冰；寬闊之水也都凝結。
他使密雲盛滿水氣，布散電光之雲；
這雲是藉他的指引游行旋轉，得以在全地面上行他一切所吩咐的，
或為責罰，或為潤地，或為施行慈愛。
約伯啊，你要留心聽，要站立思想神奇妙的作為。
神如何吩咐這些，如何使雲中的電光照耀，你知道嗎？
雲彩如何浮於空中，那知識全備者奇妙的作為，你知道嗎？
南風使地寂靜，你的衣服就如火熱，你知道嗎？
你豈能與神同鋪穹蒼嗎？這穹蒼堅硬，如同鑄成的鏡子。
我們愚昧不能陳說；請你指教我們該對他說什麼話。
人豈可說：我願與他說話？豈有人自願滅亡嗎？
現在有雲遮蔽，人不得見穹蒼的光亮；但風吹過，天又發晴。
金光出於北方，在神那裡有可怕的威嚴。
論到全能者，我們不能測度；他大有能力，有公平和大義，必不苦待人。
所以，人敬畏他；凡自以為心中有智慧的人，他都不顧念。
詩篇 19:1
- 6
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）諸天述說神的榮耀；穹蒼傳揚他的手段。
這日到那日發出言語；這夜到那夜傳出知識。
無言無語，也無聲音可聽。
他的量帶通遍天下，他的言語傳到地極。神在其間為太陽安設帳幕；
太陽如同新郎出洞房，又如勇士歡然奔路。
他從天這邊出來，繞到天那邊，沒有一物被隱藏不得他的熱氣。
馬太福音 22:36
- 40
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
「夫子，律法上的誡命，那一條是最大的呢？」
耶穌對他說：「你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主你的神。
這是誡命中的第一，且是最大的。
其次也相仿，就是要愛人如己。
這兩條誡命是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。」
羅馬書 8:1
- 4
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
如今，那些在基督耶穌裡的就不定罪了。
因為賜生命聖靈的律，在基督耶穌裡釋放了我，使我脫離罪和死的律了。
律法既因肉體軟弱，有所不能行的，神就差遣自己的兒子，成為罪身的形狀，作了贖罪祭，在肉體中定了罪案，
使律法的義成就在我們這不隨從肉體、只隨從聖靈的人身上。
哥林多前書 13:1
- 13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
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.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
我若能說萬人的方言，並天使的話語，卻沒有愛，我就成了鳴的鑼，響的鈸一般。
我若有先知講道之能，也明白各樣的奧秘，各樣的知識，而且有全備的信，叫我能夠移山，卻沒有愛，我就算不得什麼。
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。
愛是恆久忍耐，又有恩慈；愛是不嫉妒；愛是不自誇，不張狂，
不做害羞的事，不求自己的益處，不輕易發怒，不計算人的惡，
不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理；
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
愛是永不止息。先知講道之能終必歸於無有；說方言之能終必停止；知識也終必歸於無有。
我們現在所知道的有限，先知所講的也有限，
等那完全的來到，這有限的必歸於無有了。
我作孩子的時候，話語像孩子，心思像孩子，意念像孩子，既成了人，就把孩子的事丟棄了。
我們如今彷彿對著鏡子觀看，模糊不清（原文作如同猜謎）；到那時就要面對面了。我如今所知道的有限，到那時就全知道，如同主知道我一樣。
如今常存的有信，有望，有愛這三樣，其中最大的是愛。
帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:15
- 23
Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
Rejoice always,
pray continually,
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Do not treat prophecies with contempt
but test them all; hold on to what is good,
reject every kind of evil.
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
你們要謹慎，無論是誰都不可以惡報惡；或是彼此相待，或是待眾人，常要追求良善。
要常常喜樂，
不住的禱告，
凡事謝恩；因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。
不要消滅聖靈的感動；
不要藐視先知的講論。
但要凡事察驗，善美的要持守，
各樣的惡事要禁戒不做。
願賜平安的神親自使你們全然成聖！又願你們的靈與魂與身子得蒙保守，在我主耶穌基督降臨的時候，完全無可指摘！
提多書 3:5
he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
他便救了我們，並不是因我們自己所行的義，乃是照他的憐憫，藉著重生的洗和聖靈的更新。
雅各書 2:8
- 26
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right.
But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
For he who said, "You shall not commit adultery," also said, "You shall not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,
because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?
Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.
If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder.
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ?
Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
經上記著說：「要愛人如己。」你們若全守這至尊的律法，才是好的。
但你們若按外貌待人，便是犯罪，被律法定為犯法的。
因為凡遵守全律法的，只在一條上跌倒，他就是犯了眾條。
原來那說「不可姦淫」的，也說「不可殺人」；你就是不姦淫，卻殺人，仍是成了犯律法的。
你們既然要按使人自由的律法受審判，就該照這律法說話行事。
因為那不憐憫人的，也要受無憐憫的審判；憐憫原是向審判誇勝。
我的弟兄們，若有人說自己有信心，卻沒有行為，有什麼益處呢？這信心能救他嗎？
若是弟兄或是姐妹，赤身露體，又缺了日用的飲食；
你們中間有人對他們說：「平平安安的去吧！願你們穿得暖，吃得飽」；卻不給他們身體所需用的，這有什麼益處呢？
這樣，信心若沒有行為就是死的。
必有人說：「你有信心，我有行為；你將你沒有行為的信心指給我看，我便藉著我的行為，將我的信心指給你看。」
你信神只有一位，你信的不錯；鬼魔也信，卻是戰驚。
虛浮的人哪，你願意知道沒有行為的信心是死的嗎？
我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕把他兒子以撒獻在壇上，豈不是因行為稱義嗎？
可見信心是與他的行為並行，而且信心因著行為才得成全。
這就應驗經上所說：「亞伯拉罕信神，這就算為他的義。」他又得稱為神的朋友。
這樣看來，人稱義是因著行為，不是單因著信。
妓女喇合接待使者，又放他們從別的路上出去，不也是一樣因行為稱義嗎？
身體沒有靈魂是死的，信心沒有行為也是死的。
加拉太書 5:22
- 25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、
溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止。
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。
我們若是靠聖靈得生，就當靠聖靈行事。
雅各書 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
在神我們的父面前，那清潔沒有玷污的虔誠，就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦，並且保守自己不沾染世俗。
猶大書 1:20
- 21
But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
親愛的弟兄啊，你們卻要在至聖的真道上造就自己，在聖靈裡禱告，
保守自己常在神的愛中，仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫，直到永生。
約伯記 12:7
- 16
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.
Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?
Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
"To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; those he imprisons cannot be released.
If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
To him belong strength and insight; both deceived and deceiver are his.
你且問走獸，走獸必指教你；又問空中的飛鳥，飛鳥必告訴你；
或與地說話，地必指教你；海中的魚也必向你說明。
看這一切，誰不知道是耶和華的手做成的呢？
凡活物的生命和人類的氣息都在他手中。
耳朵豈不試驗言語，正如上膛嘗食物嗎？
年老的有智慧；壽高的有知識。
在神有智慧和能力；他有謀略和知識。
他拆毀的，就不能再建造；他捆住人，便不得開釋。
他把水留住，水便枯乾；他再發出水來，水就翻地。
在他有能力和智慧，被誘惑的與誘惑人的都是屬他。
雅各書 1:26
Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
若有人自以為虔誠，卻不勒住他的舌頭，反欺哄自己的心，這人的虔誠是虛的。
馬太福音 16:15
- 19
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will bebound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」
西門彼得回答說：「你是基督，是永生神的兒子。」
耶穌對他說：「西門巴約拿，你是有福的！因為這不是屬血肉的指示你的，乃是我在天上的父指示的。
我還告訴你，你是彼得，我要把我的教會建造在這磐石上；陰間的權柄（權柄：原文作門），不能勝過他。
我要把天國的鑰匙給你，凡你在地上所捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要釋放。」
羅馬書 2:6
- 8
God "will repay each person according to what they have done."
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
他必照各人的行為報應各人。
凡恆心行善、尋求榮耀、尊貴和不能朽壞之福的，就以永生報應他們；
惟有結黨、不順從真理、反順從不義的，就以忿怒、惱恨報應他們。
