約翰福音 12:26
Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
若有人服事我，就當跟從我；我在那裡，服事我的人也要在那裡；若有人服事我，我父必尊重他。」
馬可福音 10:42

Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
耶穌叫他們來，對他們說：「你們知道，外邦人有尊為君王的，治理他們，有大臣操權管束他們。
只是在你們中間，不是這樣。你們中間，誰願為大，就必作你們的用人；
在你們中間，誰願為首，就必做眾人的僕人。
因為人子來，並不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，並且要捨命作多人的贖價。」
加拉太書 5:13
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
弟兄們，你們蒙召是要得自由，只是不可將你們的自由當作放縱情慾的機會，總要用愛心互相服事。

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."
Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
Jesus replied, "Do what you came for, friend." Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
說話之間，那十二個門徒裡的猶大來了，並有許多人帶著刀棒，從祭司長和民間的長老那裡與他同來。
那賣耶穌的給了他們一個暗號，說：「我與誰親嘴，誰就是他。你們可以拿住他。」
猶大隨即到耶穌跟前，說：「請拉比安」，就與他親嘴。
耶穌對他說：「朋友，你來要做的事，就做吧。」於是那些人上前，下手拿住耶穌。
有跟隨耶穌的一個人伸手拔出刀來，將大祭司的僕人砍了一刀，削掉了他一個耳朵。
耶穌對他說：「收刀入鞘吧！凡動刀的，必死在刀下。
你想，我不能求我父現在為我差遣十二營多天使來嗎？

Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk
and said to her, "How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine."
"Not so, my lord," Hannah replied, "I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord.
Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief."
（原來哈拿心中默禱，只動嘴唇，不出聲音，因此以利以為他喝醉了。）
以利對他說：「你要醉到幾時呢？你不應該喝酒。」
哈拿回答說：「主啊，不是這樣。我是心裡愁苦的婦人，清酒濃酒都沒有喝，但在耶和華面前傾心吐意。
不要將婢女看作不正經的女子。我因被人激動，愁苦太多，所以祈求到如今。」

Peter asked, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
The Lord answered, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?
It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
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.
"The servant who knows the master's will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.
But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
彼得說：「主啊，這比喻是為我們說的呢？還是為眾人呢？」
主說：「誰是那忠心有見識的管家，主人派他管理家裡的人，按時分糧給他們呢？
主人來到，看見僕人這樣行，那僕人就有福了。
我實在告訴你們，主人要派他管理一切所有的。
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。
僕人知道主人的意思，卻不預備，又不順他的意思行，那僕人必多受責打；
惟有那不知道的，做了當受責打的事，必少受責打；因為多給誰，就向誰多取；多托誰，就向誰多要。」
提多書 3:2
to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

雅各書 1:21
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

撒母耳記下 16:9
- 14
Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head."
But the king said, "What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord said to him, 'Curse David,' who can ask, 'Why do you do this?' "
David then said to Abishai and all his officials, "My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.
It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today."
So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt.
The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩對王說：「這死狗豈可咒罵我主我王呢？求你容我過去，割下他的頭來。」
王說：「洗魯雅的兒子，我與你們有何關涉呢？他咒罵是因耶和華吩咐他說：『你要咒罵大衛。』如此，誰敢說你為什麼這樣行呢？」
大衛又對亞比篩和眾臣僕說：「我親生的兒子尚且尋索我的性命，何況這便雅憫人呢？由他咒罵吧！因為這是耶和華吩咐他的。
或者耶和華見我遭難，為我今日被這人咒罵，就施恩與我。」
於是大衛和跟隨他的人往前行走。示每在大衛對面山坡，一面行走一面咒罵，又拿石頭砍他，拿土揚他。
王和跟隨他的眾人疲疲乏乏地到了一個地方，就在那裡歇息歇息。
詩篇 38:13
- 14
I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

我如不聽見的人，口中沒有回話。

A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense.

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
二人若不同心，豈能同行呢？

- 26
When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: "You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.
What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come,
so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.
Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.
As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."
The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them.
他們聽見，就歸榮耀與神，對保羅說：「兄台，你看猶太人中信主的有多少萬，並且都為律法熱心。
他們聽見人說：你教訓一切在外邦的猶太人離棄摩西，對他們說：不要給孩子行割禮，也不要遵行條規。
眾人必聽見你來了，這可怎麼辦呢？
你就照著我們的話行吧？我們這裡有四個人，都有願在身。
你帶他們去，與他們一同行潔淨的禮，替他們拿出規費，叫他們得以剃頭。這樣，眾人就可知道，先前所聽見你的事都是虛的；並可知道，你自己為人，循規蹈矩，遵行律法。
至於信主的外邦人，我們已經寫信擬定，叫他們謹忌那祭偶像之物，和血，並勒死的牲畜，與姦淫。」
於是保羅帶著那四個人，第二天與他們一同行了潔淨的禮，進了殿，報明潔淨的日期滿足，只等祭司為他們各人獻祭。
羅馬書 13:4
For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
因為他是神的用人，是與你有益的。你若作惡，卻當懼怕；因為他不是空空的佩劍，他是神的用人，是伸冤的，刑罰那作惡的。
羅馬書 14:19
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
所以，我們務要追求和睦的事與彼此建立德行的事。
