雅各書 2:14
- 17
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.
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。
彼得前書 4:10
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服事，作神百般恩賜的好管家。
加拉太書 6:10
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
所以，有了機會就當向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更當這樣。
羅馬書 12:13
- 17
Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
聖徒缺乏要幫補；客要一味的款待。
逼迫你們的，要給他們祝福；只要祝福，不可咒詛。
與喜樂的人要同樂；與哀哭的人要同哭。
要彼此同心；不要志氣高大，倒要俯就卑微的人（人：或作事）；不要自以為聰明。
不要以惡報惡；眾人以為美的事要留心去做。
馬太福音 25:40
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
王要回答說：『我實在告訴你們，這些事你們既做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上，就是做在我身上了。』
馬太福音 10:8
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
醫治病人，叫死人復活，叫長大痲瘋的潔淨，把鬼趕出去。你們白白的得來，也要白白的捨去。
馬太福音 25:35
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
因為我餓了，你們給我吃，渴了，你們給我喝；我作客旅，你們留我住；
加拉太書 5:22
- 23
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.
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。
約翰一書 4:19
- 21
We love because he first loved us.
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
我們愛，因為神先愛我們。
人若說「我愛神」，卻恨他的弟兄，就是說謊話的；不愛他所看見的弟兄，就不能愛沒有看見的神（有古卷：怎能愛沒有看見的神呢）。
愛神的，也當愛弟兄，這是我們從神所受的命令。
以賽亞書 61:1
- 4
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
主耶和華的靈在我身上；因為耶和華用膏膏我，叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人（或作：傳福音給貧窮的人），差遣我醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放，被囚的出監牢；
報告耶和華的恩年，和我們神報仇的日子；安慰一切悲哀的人，
賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人，代替灰塵；喜樂油代替悲哀；讚美衣代替憂傷之靈；使他們稱為「公義樹」，是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。
他們必修造已久的荒場，建立先前淒涼之處，重修歷代荒涼之城。
使徒行傳 4:32
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
那許多信的人都是一心一意的，沒有一人說他的東西有一樣是自己的，都是大家公用。
羅馬書 15:25
- 29
Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord's people there.
For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord's people in Jerusalem.
They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
但現在，我往耶路撒冷去供給聖徒。
因為馬其頓和亞該亞人樂意湊出捐項給耶路撒冷聖徒中的窮人。
這固然是他們樂意的，其實也算是所欠的債；因外邦人既然在他們屬靈的好處上有分，就當把養身之物供給他們。
等我辦完了這事，把這善果向他們交付明白，我就要路過你們那裡，往士班雅去。
我也曉得去的時候，必帶著基督豐盛的恩典而去。
以弗所書 2:10
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
我們原是他的工作，在基督耶穌裡造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所預備叫我們行的。
尼希米記 2:17
- 18
Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace."
I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work.
以後，我對他們說：「我們所遭的難，耶路撒冷怎樣荒涼，城門被火焚燒，你們都看見了。來吧，我們重建耶路撒冷的城牆，免得再受凌辱！」
我告訴他們我神施恩的手怎樣幫助我，並王對我所說的話。他們就說：「我們起來建造吧！」於是他們奮勇做這善工。
羅馬書 12:20
- 21
On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
所以，「你的仇敵若餓了，就給他吃，若渴了，就給他喝；因為你這樣行就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。」
你不可為惡所勝，反要以善勝惡。
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。
彼得前書 5:2
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them-not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
務要牧養在你們中間神的群羊，按著神旨意照管他們；不是出於勉強，乃是出於甘心；也不是因為貪財，乃是出於樂意；
以賽亞書 58:9
- 14
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
"If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,
then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The mouth of the Lord has spoken.
那時你求告，耶和華必應允；你呼求，他必說：我在這裡。你若從你中間除掉重軛和指摘人的指頭，並發惡言的事，
你心若向飢餓的人發憐憫，使困苦的人得滿足，你的光就必在黑暗中發現；你的幽暗必變如正午。
耶和華也必時常引導你，在乾旱之地使你心滿意足，骨頭強壯。你必像澆灌的園子，又像水流不絕的泉源。
那些出於你的人必修造久已荒廢之處；你要建立拆毀累代的根基。你必稱為補破口的，和重修路徑與人居住的。
你若在安息日掉轉（或作：謹慎）你的腳步，在我聖日不以操作為喜樂，稱安息日為可喜樂的，稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的；而且尊敬這日，不辦自己的私事，不隨自己的私意，不說自己的私話，
你就以耶和華為樂。耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處，又以你祖雅各的產業養育你。這是耶和華親口說的。
加拉太書 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、
利未記 19:18
" 'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
不可報仇，也不可埋怨你本國的子民，卻要愛人如己。我是耶和華。
箴言 5:19
A loving doe, a graceful deer- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
他如可愛的麀鹿，可喜的母鹿；願他的胸懷使你時時知足，他的愛情使你常常戀慕。
以賽亞書 58:6
- 8
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
我所揀選的禁食不是要鬆開兇惡的繩，解下軛上的索，使被欺壓的得自由，折斷一切的軛嗎？
不是要把你的餅分給飢餓的人，將飄流的窮人接到你家中，見赤身的給他衣服遮體，顧恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏嗎？
這樣，你的光就必發現如早晨的光；你所得的醫治要速速發明。你的公義必在你前面行；耶和華的榮光必作你的後盾。
歌羅西書 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
你們要謹慎，恐怕有人用他的理學和虛空的妄言，不照著基督，乃照人間的遺傳和世上的小學就把你們擄去。
