老年人對他說：「現在王若服事這民如僕人，用好話回答他們，他們就永遠作王的僕人。」

人心懷藏謀略，好像深水，惟明哲人才能汲引出來。

創世記 34:30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me obnoxious to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed."

哥林多前書 8:8 - 13 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won't that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.
其實食物不能叫神看中我們，因為我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。只是你們要謹慎，恐怕你們這自由竟成了那軟弱人的絆腳石。若有人見你這有知識的，在偶像的廟裡坐席，這人的良心，若是軟弱，豈不放膽去吃那祭偶像之物嗎？因此，基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄，也就因你的知識沉淪了。你們這樣得罪弟兄們，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督。所以，食物若叫我弟兄跌倒，我就永遠不吃肉，免得叫我弟兄跌倒了。

通達人的智慧在乎明白己道；愚昧人的愚妄乃是詭詐（或作：自歎）。

箴言 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
殷勤籌劃的，足致豐裕；行事急躁的，都必缺乏。

"Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.
現在我往耶路撒冷去，心甚迫切（原文作心被捆綁），不知道在那裡要遇見什麼事；但知道聖靈在各城裡向我指證，說有捆鎖與患難等待我。我卻不以性命為念，也不看為寶貴，只要行完我的路程，成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事，證明神恩惠的福音。「我素常在你們中間來往，傳講神國的道；如今我曉得，你們以後都不得再見我的面了。

哥林多前書 6:12 "I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but I will not be mastered by anything.

尼希米記 2:12 - 16 I set out during the night with a few others. I had not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no mounts with me except the one I was riding on. By night I went out through the Valley Gate toward the Jackal Well and the Dung Gate, examining the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down, and its gates, which had been destroyed by fire. Then I moved on toward the Fountain Gate and the King's Pool, but there was not enough room for my mount to get through; so I went up the valley by night, examining the wall. Finally, I turned back and reentered through the Valley Gate. The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, because as yet I had said nothing to the Jews or the priests or nobles or officials or any others who would be doing the work.
我夜間起來，有幾個人也一同起來；但神使我心裡要為耶路撒冷做什麼事，我並沒有告訴人。除了我騎的牲口以外，也沒有別的牲口在我那裡。當夜我出了谷門，往野狗井去（野狗：或作龍），到了糞廠門，察看耶路撒冷的城牆，見城牆拆毀，城門被火焚燒。我又往前，到了泉門和王池，但所騎的牲口沒有地方過去。於是夜間沿溪而上，察看城牆，又轉身進入谷門，就回來了。我往那裡去，我做什麼事，官長都不知道。我還沒有告訴猶大平民、祭司、貴冑、官長，和其餘做工的人。

尼希米記 4:13 - 23 Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes." When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work. From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!" So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out. At that time I also said to the people, "Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and as workers by day." Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.
所以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀、拿槍、拿弓站在城牆後邊低窪的空處。我察看了，就起來對貴冑、官長，和其餘的人說：「不要怕他們！當記念主是大而可畏的。你們要為弟兄、兒女、妻子、家產爭戰。」仇敵聽見我們知道他們的心意，見神也破壞他們的計謀，就不來了。我們都回到城牆那裡，各做各的工。從那日起，我的僕人一半做工，一半拿槍、拿盾牌、拿弓、穿（或作：拿）鎧甲，官長都站在猶大眾人的後邊。修造城牆的，扛抬材料的，都一手做工一手拿兵器。修造的人都腰間佩刀修造，吹角的人在我旁邊。我對貴冑、官長，和其餘的人說：「這工程浩大，我們在城牆上相離甚遠；你們聽見角聲在那裡，就聚集到我們那裡去。我們的神必為我們爭戰。」於是，我們做工，一半拿兵器，從天亮直到星宿出現的時候。那時，我又對百姓說：「各人和他的僕人當在耶路撒冷住宿，好在夜間保守我們，白晝做工。」這樣，我和弟兄僕人，並跟從我的護兵都不脫衣服，出去打水也帶兵器。

約伯記 34:3 - 4 For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food. Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

但以理書 1:8 - 14 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, but the official told Daniel, "I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you." Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, "Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see." So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
但以理卻立志不以王的膳和王所飲的酒玷污自己，所以求太監長容他不玷污自己。神使但以理在太監長眼前蒙恩惠，受憐憫。太監長對但以理說：「我懼怕我主我王，他已經派定你們的飲食；倘若他見你們的面貌比你們同歲的少年人肌瘦，怎麼好呢？這樣，你們就使我的頭在王那裡難保。」但以理對太監長所派管理但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亞撒利雅的委辦說：「求你試試僕人們十天，給我們素菜吃，白水喝，然後看看我們的面貌和用王膳那少年人的面貌，就照你所看的待僕人吧！」委辦便允准他們這件事，試看他們十天。

Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
你同告你的對頭還在路上，就趕緊與他和息，恐怕他把你送給審判官，審判官交付衙役，你就下在監裡了。我實在告訴你，若有一文錢沒有還清，你斷不能從那裡出來。」

馬可福音 3:7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
耶穌和門徒退到海邊去，有許多人從加利利跟隨他。

約翰福音 11:47 - 54 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation." Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all! You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish." He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. So from that day on they plotted to take his life. Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
祭司長和法利賽人聚集公會，說：「這人行好些神蹟，我們怎麼辦呢？若這樣由著他，人人都要信他，羅馬人也要來奪我們的地土和我們的百姓。」內中有一個人，名叫該亞法，本年作大祭司，對他們說：「你們不知道什麼。獨不想一個人替百姓死，免得通國滅亡，就是你們的益處。」他這話不是出於自己，是因他本年作大祭司，所以預言耶穌將要替這一國死；也不但替這一國死，並要將神四散的子民都聚集歸一。從那日起，他們就商議要殺耶穌。所以，耶穌不再顯然行在猶太人中間，就離開那裡往靠近曠野的地方去，到了一座城，名叫以法蓮，就在那裡和門徒同住。

使徒行傳 16:3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

使徒行傳 17:10 - 15 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
弟兄們隨即在夜間打發保羅和西拉往庇哩亞去。二人到了，就進入猶太人的會堂。這地方的人賢於帖撒羅尼迦的人，甘心領受這道，天天考查聖經，要曉得這道是與不是。所以他們中間多有相信的，又有希利尼尊貴的婦女，男子也不少。但帖撒羅尼迦的猶太人知道保羅又在庇哩亞傳神的道，也就往那裡去，聳動攪擾眾人。當時弟兄們便打發保羅往海邊去，西拉和提摩太仍住在庇哩亞。送保羅的人帶他到了雅典，既領了保羅的命，叫西拉和提摩太速速到他這裡來，就回去了。
