約翰一書 2:15
- 17
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world.
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
不要愛世界和世界上的事。人若愛世界,愛父的心就不在他裡面了。
因為凡世界上的事,就像肉體的情慾,眼目的情慾,並今生的驕傲,都不是從父來的,乃是從世界來的。
這世界和其上的情慾都要過去,惟獨遵行神旨意的,是永遠常存。
歌羅西書 3:2

羅馬書 5:1
- 21
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned-
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
我們既因信稱義,就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。
我們又藉著他,因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中,並且歡歡喜喜盼望神的榮耀。
不但如此,就是在患難中也是歡歡喜喜的;因為知道患難生忍耐,
忍耐生老練,老練生盼望;
盼望不至於羞恥,因為所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。
因我們還軟弱的時候,基督就按所定的日期為罪人死。
為義人死,是少有的;為仁人死、或者有敢做的。
惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。
現在我們既靠著他的血稱義,就更要藉著他免去神的忿怒。
因為我們作仇敵的時候,且藉著神兒子的死,得與神和好;既已和好,就更要因他的生得救了。
不但如此,我們既藉著我主耶穌基督得與神和好,也就藉著他以神為樂。
這就如罪是從一人入了世界,死又是從罪來的;於是死就臨到眾人,因為眾人都犯了罪。
沒有律法之先,罪已經在世上;但沒有律法,罪也不算罪。
然而從亞當到摩西,死就作了王,連那些不與亞當犯一樣罪過的,也在他的權下。亞當乃是那以後要來之人的預像。
只是過犯不如恩賜,若因一人的過犯,眾人都死了,何況神的恩典,與那因耶穌基督一人恩典中的賞賜,豈不更加倍的臨到眾人嗎?
因一人犯罪就定罪,也不如恩賜,原來審判是由一人而定罪,恩賜乃是由許多過犯而稱義。
若因一人的過犯,死就因這一人作了王,何況那些受洪恩又蒙所賜之義的,豈不更要因耶穌基督一人在生命中作王嗎?
如此說來,因一次的過犯,眾人都被定罪;照樣,因一次的義行,眾人也就被稱義得生命了。
因一人的悖逆,眾人成為罪人;照樣,因一人的順從,眾人也成為義了。
律法本是外添的,叫過犯顯多;只是罪在那裡顯多,恩典就更顯多了。
就如罪作王叫人死;照樣,恩典也藉著義作王,叫人因我們的主耶穌基督得永生。
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。
