詩篇 86:15
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
主啊，你是有憐憫有恩典的神，不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實。
申命記 4:31
For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
耶和華你神原是有憐憫的神；他總不撇下你，不滅絕你，也不忘記他起誓與你列祖所立的約。
提摩太前書 4:1
- 3
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
聖靈明說，在後來的時候，必有人離棄真道，聽從那引誘人的邪靈和鬼魔的道理。
這是因為說謊之人的假冒；這等人的良心如同被熱鐵烙慣了一般。
他們禁止嫁娶，又禁戒食物（或作：又叫人戒葷），就是神所造、叫那信而明白真道的人感謝著領受的。
耶利米哀歌 3:22
- 23
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
我們不至消滅，是出於耶和華諸般的慈愛；是因他的憐憫不至斷絕。
每早晨，這都是新的；你的誠實極其廣大！
耶利米哀歌 3:31
- 33
For no one is cast off by the Lord forever.
Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
因為主必不永遠丟棄人。
主雖使人憂愁，還要照他諸般的慈愛發憐憫。
因他並不甘心使人受苦，使人憂愁。
但以理書 9:18
Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.
我的神啊，求你側耳而聽，睜眼而看，眷顧我們荒涼之地和稱為你名下的城。我們在你面前懇求，原不是因自己的義，乃因你的大憐憫。
詩篇 103:8
- 13
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
耶和華有憐憫，有恩典，不輕易發怒，且有豐盛的慈愛。
他不長久責備，也不永遠懷怒。
他沒有按我們的罪過待我們，也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
天離地何等的高，他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大！
東離西有多遠，他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠！
父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女，耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人！
以賽亞書 25:8
he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people's disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.
他已經吞滅死亡直到永遠。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因為這是耶和華說的。
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。
詩篇 25:6
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
耶和華啊，求你記念你的憐憫和慈愛，因為這是亙古以來所常有的。
耶利米書 31:20
Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him," declares the Lord.
耶和華說：以法蓮是我的愛子嗎？是可喜悅的孩子嗎？我每逢責備他，仍深顧念他；所以我的心腸戀慕他；我必要憐憫他。
羅馬書 9:15
- 16
For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
因他對摩西說：我要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要恩待誰就恩待誰。
據此看來，這不在乎那定意的，也不在乎那奔跑的，只在乎發憐憫的神。
瑪拉基書 3:17
"On the day when I act," says the Lord Almighty, "they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.
萬軍之耶和華說：「在我所定的日子，他們必屬我，特特歸我。我必憐恤他們，如同人憐恤服事自己的兒子。
詩篇 123:1
- 4
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
（上行之詩。）坐在天上的主啊，我向你舉目。
看哪，僕人的眼睛怎樣望主人的手，使女的眼睛怎樣望主母的手，我們的眼睛也照樣望耶和華我們的神，直到他憐憫我們。
耶和華啊，求你憐憫我們，憐憫我們！因為我們被藐視，已到極處。
我們被那些安逸人的譏誚和驕傲人的藐視，已到極處。
提摩太前書 1:13
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
我從前是褻瀆神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的；然而我還蒙了憐憫，因我是不信不明白的時候而做的。

要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裡的人，把我們的腳引到平安的路上。

I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one. ' I will say to those called 'Not my people, ' 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.' "
我必將他種在這地。素不蒙憐憫的，我必憐憫；本非我民的，我必對他說：你是我的民；他必說：你是我的神。」
哥林多前書 7:1
- 2
Now for the matters you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."
But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
論到你們信上所提的事，我說男不近女倒好。
但要免淫亂的事，男子當各有自己的妻子；女子也當各有自己的丈夫。
哥林多前書 7:25
- 26
Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.
Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.
論到童身的人，我沒有主的命令，但我既蒙主憐恤能作忠心的人，就把自己的意見告訴你們。
因現今的艱難，據我看來，人不如守素安常才好。
哥林多前書 7:32
- 40
I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs-how he can please the Lord.
But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world-how he can please his wife-
and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world-how she can please her husband.
I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.
But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin-this man also does the right thing.
So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.
A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is-and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
我願你們無所掛慮。沒有娶妻的，是為主的事掛慮，想怎樣叫主喜悅。
娶了妻的，是為世上的事掛慮，想怎樣叫妻子喜悅。
婦人和處女也有分別。沒有出嫁的，是為主的事掛慮，要身體、靈魂都聖潔；已經出嫁的，是為世上的事掛慮，想怎樣叫丈夫喜悅。
我說這話是為你們的益處，不是要牢籠你們，乃是要叫你們行合宜的事，得以殷勤服事主，沒有分心的事。
若有人以為自己待他的女兒不合宜，女兒也過了年歲，事又當行，他就可隨意辦理，不算有罪，叫二人成親就是了。
倘若人心裡堅定，沒有不得已的事，並且由得自己作主，心裡又決定了留下女兒不出嫁，如此行也好。
這樣看來，叫自己的女兒出嫁是好，不叫他出嫁更是好。
丈夫活著的時候，妻子是被約束的；丈夫若死了，妻子就可以自由，隨意再嫁，只是要嫁這在主裡面的人。
然而按我的意見，若常守節更有福氣。我也想自己是被神的靈感動了。
加拉太書 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
基督釋放了我們，叫我們得以自由。所以要站立得穩，不要再被奴僕的軛挾制。
啟示錄 14:4
These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.
這些人未曾沾染婦女，他們原是童身。羔羊無論往那裡去，他們都跟隨他。他們是從人間買來的，作初熟的果子歸與神和羔羊。
尼希米記 9:31
But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
然而你大發憐憫，不全然滅絕他們，也不丟棄他們；因為你是有恩典、有憐憫的神。
以賽亞書 50:7
- 8
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser? Let him confront me!
主耶和華必幫助我，所以我不抱愧。我硬著臉面好像堅石；我也知道我必不至蒙羞。
稱我為義的與我相近；誰與我爭論，可以與我一同站立；誰與我作對，可以就近我來。
約珥書 2:12
- 14
"Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."
Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.
Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing- grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God.
耶和華說：雖然如此，你們應當禁食、哭泣、悲哀，一心歸向我。
你們要撕裂心腸，不撕裂衣服。歸向耶和華你們的神；因為他有恩典，有憐憫，不輕易發怒，有豐盛的慈愛，並且後悔不降所說的災。
或者他轉意後悔，留下餘福，就是留下獻給耶和華你們神的素祭和奠祭，也未可知。
羅馬書 11:32
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
因為神將眾人都圈在不順服之中，特意要憐恤眾人。
出埃及記 33:19
And the Lord said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
耶和華說：「我要顯我一切的恩慈，在你面前經過，宣告我的名。我要恩待誰就恩待誰；要憐憫誰就憐憫誰」；
歷代志下 30:9
If you return to the Lord, then your fellow Israelites and your children will be shown compassion by their captors and will return to this land, for the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him."
你們若轉向耶和華，你們的弟兄和兒女必在擄掠他們的人面前蒙憐恤，得以歸回這地，因為耶和華你們的神有恩典、施憐憫。你們若轉向他，他必不轉臉不顧你們。」
以賽亞書 30:18
Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們；必然興起，好憐憫你們。因為耶和華是公平的神；凡等候他的都是有福的！
馬太福音 19:10
- 12
The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others-and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
門徒對耶穌說：「人和妻子既是這樣，倒不如不娶。」
耶穌說：「這話不是人都能領受的，惟獨賜給誰，誰才能領受。
因為有生來是閹人，也有被人閹的，並有為天國的緣故自閹的。這話誰能領受就可以領受。」
哥林多前書 7:7
- 9
I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.
But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
我願意眾人像我一樣；只是各人領受神的恩賜，一個是這樣，一個是那樣。
我對著沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，若他們常像我就好。
倘若自己禁止不住，就可以嫁娶。與其慾火攻心，倒不如嫁娶為妙。
雅各書 5:11
As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
那先前忍耐的人，我們稱他們是有福的。你們聽見過約伯的忍耐，也知道主給他的結局，明顯主是滿心憐憫，大有慈悲。
以弗所書 2:4
- 5
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.
然而，神既有豐富的憐憫，因他愛我們的大愛，
當我們死在過犯中的時候，便叫我們與基督一同活過來。（你們得救是本乎恩。）
約翰一書 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
我們若認自己的罪，神是信實的，是公義的，必要赦免我們的罪，洗淨我們一切的不義。
羅馬書 12:1
- 2
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.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
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。
不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
提摩太前書 1:12
- 13
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
我感謝那給我力量的我們主基督耶穌，因他以我有忠心，派我服事他。
我從前是褻瀆神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的；然而我還蒙了憐憫，因我是不信不明白的時候而做的。
