He went on: "What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come-sexual immorality, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
All these evils come from inside and defile a person."
又說:「從人裡面出來的,那才能污穢人;
因為從裡面,就是從人心裡,發出惡念、苟合、

這一切的惡都是從裡面出來,且能污穢人。」

let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;

我們必得各樣寶物,將所擄來的,裝滿房屋;

你須側耳聽受智慧人的言語,留心領會我的知識。

雅各書 5:1
- 6
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you.
Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.
Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
嗐!你們這些富足人哪,應當哭泣、號咷,因為將有苦難臨到你們身上。
你們的財物壞了,衣服也被蟲子咬了。
你們的金銀都長了(金秀);那(金秀)要證明你們的不是,又要吃你們的肉,如同火燒。你們在這末世只知積儹錢財。
工人給你們收割莊稼,你們虧欠他們的工錢,這工錢有聲音呼叫,並且那收割之人的冤聲已經入了萬軍之主的耳了。
你們在世上享美福,好宴樂,當宰殺的日子竟嬌養你們的心。
你們定了義人的罪,把他殺害,他也不抵擋你們。
耶利米書 5:26
- 29
"Among my people are the wicked who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch people.
Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful
and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not seek justice. They do not promote the case of the fatherless; they do not defend the just cause of the poor.
Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord. "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?
因為在我民中有惡人。他們埋伏窺探,好像捕鳥的人;他們設立圈套陷害人。
籠內怎樣滿了雀鳥,他們的房中也照樣充滿詭詐;所以他們得成為大,而且富足。
他們肥胖光潤,作惡過甚,不為人伸冤!就是不為孤兒伸冤,不使他亨通,也不為窮人辨屈。
耶和華說:我豈不因這些事討罪呢?豈不報復這樣的國民呢?

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

加拉太書 5:19
- 21
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
情慾的事都是顯而易見的,就如姦淫、污穢、邪蕩、
拜偶像、邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、分爭、異端、
嫉妒(有古卷加:兇殺二字)、醉酒、荒宴等類。我從前告訴你們,現在又告訴你們,行這樣事的人必不能承受神的國。
以弗所書 5:3
- 5
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
至於淫亂並一切污穢,或是貪婪,在你們中間連提都不可,方合聖徒的體統。
淫詞、妄語,和戲笑的話都不相宜;總要說感謝的話。
因為你們確實的知道,無論是淫亂的,是污穢的,是有貪心的,在基督和神的國裡都是無分的。有貪心的,就與拜偶像的一樣。
彼得後書 2:14
With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed-an accursed brood!
他們滿眼是淫色(原文作淫婦),止不住犯罪,引誘那心不堅固的人,心中習慣了貪婪,正是被咒詛的種類。
瑪拉基書 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
萬軍之耶和華說:你們要將當納的十分之一全然送入倉庫,使我家有糧,以此試試我,是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶,傾福與你們,甚至無處可容。
出埃及記 20:11
- 18
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.

"You shall not murder.
"You shall not commit adultery.
"You shall not steal.
"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance
因為六日之內,耶和華造天、地、海,和其中的萬物,第七日便安息,所以耶和華賜福與安息日,定為聖日。
「當孝敬父母,使你的日子在耶和華你神所賜你的地上得以長久。
「不可殺人。
「不可姦淫。
「不可偷盜。
「不可作假見證陷害人。
「不可貪戀人的房屋;也不可貪戀人的妻子、僕婢、牛驢,並他一切所有的。」
眾百姓見雷轟、閃電、角聲、山上冒煙,就都發顫,遠遠的站立,

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
我並不是因缺乏說這話;我無論在什麼景況都可以知足,這是我已經學會了。
我知道怎樣處卑賤,也知道怎樣處豐富;或飽足,或飢餓;或有餘,或缺乏,隨事隨在,我都得了秘訣。
