I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.
I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-
and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
我經過懶惰人的田地、無知人的葡萄園，
荊棘長滿了地皮，刺草遮蓋了田面，石牆也坍塌了。

你的貧窮就必如強盜速來，你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。

- 30
"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
" 'So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.
For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
主人回答說：『你這又惡又懶的僕人，你既知道我沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，
就當把我的銀子放給兌換銀錢的人，到我來的時候，可以連本帶利收回。
奪過他這一千來，給那有一萬的。
因為凡有的，還要加給他，叫他有餘；沒有的，連他所有的也要奪過來。
把這無用的僕人丟在外面黑暗裡；在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。』」

- 27
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑，但得獎賞的只有一人？你們也當這樣跑，好叫你們得著獎賞。
凡較力爭勝的，諸事都有節制，他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。
所以，我奔跑不像無定向的；我鬥拳不像打空氣的。
我是攻克己身，叫身服我，恐怕我傳福音給別人，自己反被棄絕了。
帖撒羅尼迦後書 3:10
- 12

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
因為神並非不公義，竟忘記你們所做的工和你們為他名所顯的愛心，就是先前伺候聖徒，如今還是伺候。
我們願你們各人都顯出這樣的殷勤，使你們有滿足的指望，一直到底。
並且不懈怠，總要效法那些憑信心和忍耐承受應許的人。
