羅馬書 14:1
- 23
Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.
One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.
Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.' "
So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.
Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
信心軟弱的，你們要接納，但不要辯論所疑惑的事。
有人信百物都可吃；但那軟弱的，只吃蔬菜。
吃的人不可輕看不吃的人；不吃的人不可論斷吃的人；因為神已經收納他了。
你是誰，竟論斷別人的僕人呢？他或站住，或跌倒，自有他的主人在；而且他也必要站住，因為主能使他站住。
有人看這日比那日強；有人看日日都是一樣。只是各人心裡要意見堅定。
守日的人是為主守的；吃的人是為主吃的，因他感謝神；不吃的人是為主不吃的，也感謝神。
我們沒有一個人為自己活，也沒有一個人為自己死。
我們若活著，是為主而活；若死了，是為主而死。所以，我們或活或死總是主的人。
因此基督死了又活了，為要作死人並活人的主。
你這個人，為什麼論斷弟兄呢？又為什麼輕看弟兄呢？因我們都要站在神的臺前。
經上寫著：主說：我憑著我的永生起誓：萬膝必向我跪拜；萬口必向我承認。
這樣看來，我們各人必要將自己的事在神面前說明。
所以，我們不可再彼此論斷，寧可定意誰也不給弟兄放下絆腳跌人之物。
我憑著主耶穌確知深信，凡物本來沒有不潔淨的；惟獨人以為不潔淨的，在他就不潔淨了。
你若因食物叫弟兄憂愁，就不是按著愛人的道理行。基督已經替他死，你不可因你的食物叫他敗壞。
不可叫你的善被人毀謗；
因為神的國不在乎吃喝，只在乎公義、和平，並聖靈中的喜樂。
在這幾樣上服事基督的，就為神所喜悅，又為人所稱許。
所以，我們務要追求和睦的事與彼此建立德行的事。
不可因食物毀壞神的工程。凡物固然潔淨，但有人因食物叫人跌倒，就是他的罪了。
無論是吃肉，是喝酒，是什麼別的事，叫弟兄跌倒，一概不做才好。
你有信心，就當在神面前守著。人在自己以為可行的事上能不自責，就有福了。
若有疑心而吃的，就必有罪，因為他吃不是出於信心。凡不出於信心的都是罪。
申命記 23:12
- 14
Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.
As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
For the Lord your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
「你在營外也該定出一個地方作為便所。
在你器械之中當預備一把鍬，你出營外便溺以後，用以鏟土，轉身掩蓋。
因為耶和華你的神常在你營中行走，要救護你，將仇敵交給你，所以你的營理當聖潔，免得他見你那裡有污穢，就離開你。」
約翰福音 7:24
Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly."
不可按外貌斷定是非，總要按公平斷定是非。」
腓立比書 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
弟兄們，我還有未盡的話：凡是真實的、可敬的、公義的、清潔的、可愛的、有美名的，若有什麼德行，若有什麼稱讚，這些事你們都要思念。
馬太福音 24:46
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
主人來到，看見他這樣行，那僕人就有福了。
路加福音 10:38

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things,
but few things are needed-or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
他們走路的時候，耶穌進了一個村莊。有一個女人，名叫馬大，接他到自己家裡。
他有一個妹子，名叫馬利亞，在耶穌腳前坐著聽他的道。
馬大伺候的事多，心裡忙亂，就進前來，說：「主啊，我的妹子留下我一個人伺候，你不在意嗎？請吩咐他來幫助我。」
耶穌回答說：「馬大！馬大！你為許多的事思慮煩擾，
但是不可少的只有一件；馬利亞已經選擇那上好的福分，是不能奪去的。」
約翰福音 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
你們必曉得真理，真理必叫你們得以自由。」
雅各書 4:17
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.
人若知道行善，卻不去行，這就是他的罪了。
利未記 11:1
- 47
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
"Say to the Israelites: 'Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat:
You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.
" 'There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you.
The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
" 'Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales.
But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales-whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water-you are to regard as unclean.
And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean.
Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you.
" 'These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
the red kite, any kind of black kite,
any kind of raven,
the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
" 'All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you.
There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground.
Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.
But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean.
" 'You will make yourselves unclean by these; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening.
Whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.
" 'Every animal that does not have a divided hoof or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you; whoever touches the carcass of any of them will be unclean.
Of all the animals that walk on all fours, those that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening.
Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening. These animals are unclean for you.
" 'Of the animals that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink and the chameleon.
Of all those that move along the ground, these are unclean for you. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.
When one of them dies and falls on something, that article, whatever its use, will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, hide or sackcloth. Put it in water; it will be unclean till evening, and then it will be clean.
If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean, and you must break the pot.
Any food you are allowed to eat that has come into contact with water from any such pot is unclean, and any liquid that is drunk from such a pot is unclean.
Anything that one of their carcasses falls on becomes unclean; an oven or cooking pot must be broken up. They are unclean, and you are to regard them as unclean.
A spring, however, or a cistern for collecting water remains clean, but anyone who touches one of these carcasses is unclean.
If a carcass falls on any seeds that are to be planted, they remain clean.
But if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.
" 'If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean till evening.
Anyone who eats some of its carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening. Anyone who picks up the carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.
" 'Every creature that moves along the ground is to be regarded as unclean; it is not to be eaten.
You are not to eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet; it is unclean.
Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them.
I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.
I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.
" 'These are the regulations concerning animals, birds, every living thing that moves about in the water and every creature that moves along the ground.
You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.' "
耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：
「你們曉諭以色列人說，在地上一切走獸中可吃的乃是這些：
凡蹄分兩瓣、倒嚼的走獸，你們都可以吃。
但那倒嚼或分蹄之中不可吃的乃是：駱駝因為倒嚼不分蹄，就與你們不潔淨；
沙番因為倒嚼不分蹄，就與你們不潔淨；
兔子因為倒嚼不分蹄，就與你們不潔淨；
豬因為蹄分兩瓣，卻不倒嚼，就與你們不潔淨。
這些獸的肉，你們不可吃；死的，你們不可摸，都與你們不潔淨。
「水中可吃的乃是這些：凡在水裡、海裡、河裡、有翅有鱗的，都可以吃。
凡在海裡、河裡，並一切水裡游動的活物，無翅無鱗的，你們都當以為可憎。
這些無翅無鱗、以為可憎的，你們不可吃他的肉；死的也當以為可憎。
凡水裡無翅無鱗的，你們都當以為可憎。
「雀鳥中你們當以為可憎、不可吃的乃是：鵰、狗頭鵰、紅頭鵰、
鷂鷹、小鷹與其類；
烏鴉與其類；
鴕鳥、夜鷹、魚鷹、鷹與其類；
鴞鳥、鸕鶿、貓頭鷹、
角鴟、鵜鶘、禿鵰、
鸛、鷺鷥與其類；戴鵀與蝙蝠。
「凡有翅膀用四足爬行的物，你們都當以為可憎。
只是有翅膀用四足爬行的物中，有足有腿，在地上蹦跳的，你們還可以吃。
其中有蝗蟲、螞蚱、蟋蟀與其類；蚱蜢與其類；這些你們都可以吃。
但是有翅膀有四足的爬物，你們都當以為可憎。
「這些都能使你們不潔淨。凡摸了死的，必不潔淨到晚上。
凡拿了死的，必不潔淨到晚上，並要洗衣服。
凡走獸分蹄不成兩瓣、也不倒嚼的，是與你們不潔淨；凡摸了的就不潔淨。
凡四足的走獸，用掌行走的，是與你們不潔淨；摸其屍的，必不潔淨到晚上。
拿其屍的，必不潔淨到晚上，並要洗衣服。這些是與你們不潔淨的。
「地上爬物與你們不潔淨的乃是這些：鼬鼠、鼫鼠、蜥蜴與其類；
壁虎、龍子、守宮、蛇醫、蝘蜓。
這些爬物都是與你們不潔淨的。在他死了以後，凡摸了的，必不潔淨到晚上。
其中死了的，掉在什麼東西上，這東西就不潔淨，無論是木器、衣服、皮子、口袋，不拘是做什麼工用的器皿，須要放在水中，必不潔淨到晚上，到晚上才潔淨了。
若有死了掉在瓦器裡的，其中不拘有什麼，就不潔淨，你們要把這瓦器打破了。
其中一切可吃的食物，沾水的就不潔淨，並且那樣器皿中一切可喝的，也必不潔淨。
其中已死的，若有一點掉在什麼物件上，那物件就不潔淨，不拘是爐子，是鍋臺，就要打碎，都不潔淨，也必與你們不潔淨。
但是泉源或是聚水的池子仍是潔淨；惟挨了那死的，就不潔淨。
若是死的，有一點掉在要種的子粒上，子粒仍是潔淨；
若水已經澆在子粒上，那死的有一點掉在上頭，這子粒就與你們不潔淨。
「你們可吃的走獸若是死了，有人摸他，必不潔淨到晚上；
有人吃那死了的走獸，必不潔淨到晚上，並要洗衣服；拿了死走獸的，必不潔淨到晚上，並要洗衣服。
「凡地上的爬物是可憎的，都不可吃。
凡用肚子行走的和用四足行走的，或是有許多足的，就是一切爬在地上的，你們都不可吃，因為是可憎的。
你們不可因什麼爬物使自己成為可憎的，也不可因這些使自己不潔淨，以致染了污穢。
我是耶和華你們的神；所以你們要成為聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。你們也不可在地上的爬物污穢自己。
我是把你們從埃及地領出來的耶和華，要作你們的神；所以你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。」
這是走獸、飛鳥，和水中游動的活物，並地上爬物的條例。
要把潔淨的和不潔淨的，可吃的與不可吃的活物，都分別出來。
申命記 14:1
- 29
You are the children of the Lord your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave the front of your heads for the dead,
for you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.
Do not eat any detestable thing.
These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep.
You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.
However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.
The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.
Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that has fins and scales.
But anything that does not have fins and scales you may not eat; for you it is unclean.
You may eat any clean bird.
But these you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
the red kite, the black kite, any kind of falcon,
any kind of raven,
the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
All flying insects are unclean to you; do not eat them.
But any winged creature that is clean you may eat.
Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to the foreigner residing in any of your towns, and they may eat it, or you may sell it to any other foreigner. But you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.
Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.
But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away),
then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.
Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.
And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year's produce and store it in your towns,
so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
「你們是耶和華你們神的兒女。不可為死人用刀劃身，也不可將額上剃光；
因為你歸耶和華你神為聖潔的民，耶和華從地上的萬民中揀選你特作自己的子民。」
「凡可憎的物都不可吃。
可吃的牲畜就是牛、綿羊、山羊、
鹿、羚羊、麍子、野山羊、麋鹿、黃羊、青羊。
凡分蹄成為兩瓣又倒嚼的走獸，你們都可以吃。
但那些倒嚼或是分蹄之中不可吃的乃是駱駝、兔子、沙番因為是倒嚼不分蹄，就與你們不潔淨；
豬因為是分蹄卻不倒嚼，就與你們不潔淨。這些獸的肉，你們不可吃，死的也不可摸。
「水中可吃的乃是這些：凡有翅有鱗的都可以吃；
凡無翅無鱗的都不可吃，是與你們不潔淨。
「凡潔淨的鳥，你們都可以吃。
不可吃的乃是鵰、狗頭鵰、紅頭鵰、
鸇、小鷹、鷂鷹與其類，
烏鴉與其類，
鴕鳥、夜鷹、魚鷹、鷹與其類，
鴞鳥、貓頭鷹、角鴟、
鵜鶘、禿鵰、鸕鶿、
鸛、鷺鷥與其類，戴鵀與蝙蝠。
凡有翅膀爬行的物是與你們不潔淨，都不可吃。
凡潔淨的鳥，你們都可以吃。
「凡自死的，你們都不可吃，可以給你城裡寄居的吃，或賣與外人吃，因為你是歸耶和華你神為聖潔的民。「不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。」
「你要把你撒種所產的，就是你田地每年所出的，十分取一分；
又要把你的五穀、新酒、和油的十分之一，並牛群羊群中頭生的，吃在耶和華你神面前，就是他所選擇要立為他名的居所。這樣，你可以學習時常敬畏耶和華你的神。
當耶和華你神賜福與你的時候，耶和華你神所選擇要立為他名的地方若離你太遠，那路也太長，使你不能把這物帶到那裡去，
你就可以換成銀子，將銀子包起來，拿在手中，往耶和華你神所要選擇的地方去。
你用這銀子，隨心所欲，或買牛羊，或買清酒濃酒，凡你心所想的都可以買；你和你的家屬在耶和華你神的面前吃喝快樂。
「住在你城裡的利未人，你不可丟棄他，因為他在你們中間無分無業。
每逢三年的末一年，你要將本年的土產十分之一都取出來，積存在你的城中。
在你城裡無分無業的利未人，和你城裡寄居的，並孤兒寡婦，都可以來，吃得飽足。這樣，耶和華你的神必在你手裡所辦的一切事上賜福與你。」

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈是從神而來，住在你們裡頭的；並且你們不是自己的人；
因為你們是重價買來的。所以，要在你們的身子上榮耀神。
提多書 2:5
to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
謹守，貞潔，料理家務，待人有恩，順服自己的丈夫，免得神的道理被毀謗。

See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment on all people, and many will be those slain by the Lord.
"Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things-they will meet their end together with the one they follow," declares the Lord.
看哪，耶和華必在火中降臨；他的車輦像旋風，以烈怒施行報應，以火焰施行責罰；
因為耶和華在一切有血氣的人身上，必以火與刀施行審判；被耶和華所殺的必多。
「那些分別為聖、潔淨自己的，進入園內跟在其中一個人的後頭，吃豬肉和倉鼠並可憎之物，他們必一同滅絕；這是耶和華說的。
馬太福音 5:9
