路加福音 12:35
- 37
"Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,
like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.
It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.
「你們腰裡要束上帶，燈也要點著，
自己好像僕人等候主人從婚姻的筵席上回來。他來到，叩門，就立刻給他開門。
主人來了，看見僕人警醒，那僕人就有福了。我實在告訴你們，主人必叫他們坐席，自己束上帶，進前伺候他們。
腓立比書 3:20
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
我們卻是天上的國民，並且等候救主，就是主耶穌基督從天上降臨。
希伯來書 9:28
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
像這樣，基督既然一次被獻，擔當了多人的罪，將來要向那等候他的人第二次顯現，並與罪無關，乃是為拯救他們。
路加福音 12:45
- 46
But suppose the servant says to himself, 'My master is taking a long time in coming,' and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
那僕人若心裡說：『我的主人必來得遲』，就動手打僕人和使女，並且吃喝醉酒；
在他想不到的日子，不知道的時辰，那僕人的主人要來，重重的處治他（或作：把他腰軋了），定他和不忠心的人同罪。
提多書 2:12
- 13
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾，在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日，
等候所盼望的福，並等候至大的神和（或作?無和字）我們救主耶穌基督的榮耀顯現。
