歌羅西書 1:9
- 10
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,
so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
因此，我們自從聽見的日子，也就為你們不住的禱告祈求，願你們在一切屬靈的智慧悟性上，滿心知道神的旨意；
好叫你們行事為人對得起主，凡事蒙他喜悅，在一切善事上結果子，漸漸的多知道神；
彼得後書 3:18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
你們卻要在我們主救主耶穌基督的恩典和知識上有長進。願榮耀歸給他，從今直到永遠。阿們！
馬太福音 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
飢渴慕義的人有福了！因為他們必得飽足。
加拉太書 5:22
- 23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、
溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止。
以弗所書 4:15
- 16
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督，
全身都靠他聯絡得合式，百節各按各職，照著各體的功用彼此相助，便叫身體漸漸增長，在愛中建立自己。
詩篇 1:1
- 3
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither- whatever they do prospers.
不從惡人的計謀，不站罪人的道路，不坐褻慢人的座位，
惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！
他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。
以弗所書 4:12
- 13
to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體，
直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識神的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量，
哥林多前書 11:1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
你們該效法我，像我效法基督一樣。
提摩太後書 3:16
- 17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
聖經都是神所默示的（或作：凡神所默示的聖經），於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的，
叫屬神的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。
使徒行傳 17:11
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.
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。
加拉太書 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活著的不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著；並且我如今在肉身活著，是因信神的兒子而活；他是愛我，為我捨己。
腓立比書 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
我深信那在你們心裡動了善工的，必成全這工，直到耶穌基督的日子。
提摩太後書 2:24
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
然而主的僕人不可爭競，只要溫溫和和的待眾人，善於教導，存心忍耐，
希伯來書 10:24
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
又要彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。
雅各書 1:2
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；
詩篇 1:1
- 6
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither- whatever they do prospers.
Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
不從惡人的計謀，不站罪人的道路，不坐褻慢人的座位，
惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！
他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。
惡人並不是這樣，乃像糠秕被風吹散。
因此，當審判的時候惡人必站立不住；罪人在義人的會中也是如此。
因為耶和華知道義人的道路；惡人的道路卻必滅亡。
腓立比書 1:9
- 11
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God.
我所禱告的，就是要你們的愛心在知識和各樣見識上多而又多，
使你們能分別是非（或作：喜愛那美好的事），作誠實無過的人，直到基督的日子；
並靠著耶穌基督結滿了仁義的果子，叫榮耀稱讚歸與神。
提多書 2:11
- 14
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
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,
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
因為神救眾人的恩典已經顯明出來，
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。
他為我們捨了自己，要贖我們脫離一切罪惡，又潔淨我們，特作自己的子民，熱心為善。
詩篇 103:2
- 4
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華！不可忘記他的一切恩惠！
他赦免你的一切罪孽，醫治你的一切疾病。
他救贖你的命脫離死亡，以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。
何西阿書 4:6
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
我的民因無知識而滅亡。你棄掉知識，我也必棄掉你，使你不再給我作祭司。你既忘了你神的律法，我也必忘記你的兒女。
約翰福音 4:14
but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
人若喝我所賜的水就永遠不渴。我所賜的水要在他裡頭成為泉源，直湧到永生。」
希伯來書 6:1
- 2
Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
所以，我們應當離開基督道理的開端，竭力進到完全的地步，不必再立根基，就如那懊悔死行，信靠神、
各樣洗禮、按手之禮、死人復活，以及永遠審判各等教訓。
雅各書 1:2
- 4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；
因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。
但忍耐也當成功，使你們成全、完備，毫無缺欠。
彼得後書 1:5
- 8
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
正因這緣故，你們要分外的殷勤；有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知識；
有了知識，又要加上節制；有了節制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬；
有了虔敬，又要加上愛弟兄的心；有了愛弟兄的心，又要加上愛眾人的心；
你們若充充足足的有這幾樣，就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上不至於閒懶不結果子了。
使徒行傳 19:17
- 19
When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done.
A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
凡住在以弗所的，無論是猶太人，是希利尼人，都知道這事，也都懼怕；主耶穌的名從此就尊大了。
那已經信的，多有人來承認訴說自己所行的事。
平素行邪術的，也有許多人把書拿來，堆積在眾人面前焚燒。他們算計書價，便知道共合五萬塊錢。
以弗所書 4:11
- 12
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,
to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
他所賜的，有使徒，有先知，有傳福音的，有牧師和教師，
為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體，
彼得後書 1:3
- 8
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
神的神能已將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們，皆因我們認識那用自己榮耀和美德召我們的主。
因此，他已將又寶貴又極大的應許賜給我們，叫我們既脫離世上從情慾來的敗壞，就得與神的性情有分。
正因這緣故，你們要分外的殷勤；有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知識；
有了知識，又要加上節制；有了節制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬；
有了虔敬，又要加上愛弟兄的心；有了愛弟兄的心，又要加上愛眾人的心；
你們若充充足足的有這幾樣，就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上不至於閒懶不結果子了。
申命記 18:9
- 12
When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,
or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.
Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.
「你到了耶和華你神所賜之地，那些國民所行可憎惡的事，你不可學著行。
你們中間不可有人使兒女經火，也不可有占卜的、觀兆的、用法術的、行邪術的、
用迷術的、交鬼的、行巫術的、過陰的。
凡行這些事的都為耶和華所憎惡；因那些國民行這可憎惡的事，所以耶和華你的神將他們從你面前趕出。
詩篇 24:1
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
（大衛的詩。）地和其中所充滿的，世界和住在其間的，都屬耶和華。
以西結書 18:4
For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child-both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die.
看哪，世人都是屬我的；為父的怎樣屬我，為子的也照樣屬我；犯罪的，他必死亡。
使徒行傳 1:4
- 8
On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
耶穌和他們聚集的時候，囑咐他們說：「不要離開耶路撒冷，要等候父所應許的，就是你們聽見我說過的。
約翰是用水施洗，但不多幾日，你們要受聖靈的洗。」
他們聚集的時候，問耶穌說：「主啊，你復興以色列國就在這時候嗎？」
耶穌對他們說：「父憑著自己的權柄所定的時候、日期，不是你們可以知道的。
但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得著能力，並要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地，和撒瑪利亞，直到地極，作我的見證。」
羅馬書 8:28
- 30
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。
因為他預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣，使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。
預先所定下的人又召他們來；所召來的人又稱他們為義；所稱為義的人又叫他們得榮耀。
希伯來書 5:12
- 14
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
看你們學習的工夫，本該作師傅，誰知還得有人將神聖言小學的開端另教導你們，並且成了那必須吃奶，不能吃乾糧的人。
凡只能吃奶的都不熟練仁義的道理，因為他是嬰孩；
惟獨長大成人的才能吃乾糧；他們的心竅習練得通達，就能分辨好歹了。
以弗所書 6:11
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
要穿戴神所賜的全副軍裝，就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。
