《西番雅书》3 Zephaniah 3 17.耶和华你的神,是施行拯救、大有能力的主。他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐,默然爱你,且因你喜乐而欢呼。 18.那些属你,为无大会愁烦,因你担当羞辱的,我必聚集他们。 19.那时,我必惩办一切苦待你的人,又拯救你瘸腿的,聚集你被赶出的,那些在全地受辱的,我必使他们得称赞,有名声。 20.那时、我必领你们进来、聚集你们.我使你们被掳之人归回的时候、就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声、得称赞。这是耶和华说的 17.The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;he will save,he will rejoice over thee with joy;he will rest in his love,he will joy over thee with singing. 18.I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly,who are of thee,to whom the reproach of it was a burden. 19.Behold,at that time I will undo all that afflict thee;and I will save her that halteth,and gather her that was driven out;and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. 20.At that time will I bring you again,even in the time that I gather you;for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth,when I turn back your captivity before your eyes,saith the Lord.
Acts 25 《使徒行传》25 I have shewed you all things,how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak,and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus,how he said,it is more blessed to give than receive. 我凡事给你们做榜样,叫你们知道,应当这样劳苦,扶助软弱的人,又当纪念主耶稣的话,说,施比受更为有福。
Psalm 24 《诗篇》24 谁能登耶和华的山,谁能站在他的圣所。 就是手洁心清、不向虚妄、起誓不怀诡诈的人。 他必蒙耶和华赐福,又蒙救他的神使他称义。 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands,and a pure heart;who hath not lifted up his soul into vanity,nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
约翰一书 4 上帝差他的独生子来到世间,使我们借着他得生,上帝爱我们的心就此显明了。 John 4 In this was manifested the love of God toward us,because the God sent his only begotten son into the world,that we might live through him.
但那等候耶和华的必从新得力。 他们必如鹰展翅上腾; 他们奔跑却不困倦, 行走却不疲乏。 (以赛亚书 40:31) But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
所以,你们要去,使万民作我的门徒,奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗 。 (马太福音 28:19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew 28:19 )
人非有信,就不能得上帝的喜悦;因为到上帝面前来的人必须信有上帝,且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。 (希伯来书 11:6) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 )
我却不以性命为念,也不看为宝贵,只要行完我的路程,成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事,证明上帝恩惠的福音。 (使徒行传 20:24) But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. (Acts 20:24 )
耶稣的降生 当那些日子,凯撒 奥古斯都 有旨意下来,叫天下人民都报名上册。 这是 居里扭 作 叙利亚 巡抚的时候,头一次行报名上册的事。 众人各归各城,报名上册。 约瑟 也从 加利利 的 拿撒勒 城上 犹太 去,到了 大卫 的城,名叫 伯利恒 ,因他本是 大卫 一族一家的人, 要和他所聘之妻 马利亚 一同报名上册。那时 马利亚 的身孕已经重了。 他们在那里的时候, 马利亚 的产期到了, 就生了头胎的儿子,用布包起来,放在马槽里,因为客店里没有地方。 (路加福音 2:1-7 ) The Birth of Christ And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:1-7 )
