詩篇 49:20
People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.
人在尊貴中而不醒悟，就如死亡的畜類一樣。
哥林多前書 15:34
Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God-I say this to your shame.
你們要醒悟為善，不要犯罪，因為有人不認識神。我說這話是要叫你們羞愧。
哥林多後書 12:20
- 21
For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.
I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.
我怕我再來的時候，見你們不合我所想望的，你們見我也不合你們所想望的；又怕有分爭、嫉妒、惱怒、結黨、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、混亂的事。
且怕我來的時候，我的神叫我在你們面前慚愧，又因許多人從前犯罪，行污穢、姦淫、邪蕩的事不肯悔改，我就憂愁。
提多書 3:11
You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.
因為知道這等人已經背道，犯了罪，自己明知不是，還是去做。
彼得後書 2:20
- 22
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud."
倘若他們因認識主救主耶穌基督，得以脫離世上的污穢，後來又在其中被纏住、制伏，他們末後的景況就比先前更不好了。
他們曉得義路，竟背棄了傳給他們的聖命，倒不如不曉得為妙。
俗語說得真不錯：狗所吐的，他轉過來又吃；豬洗淨了又回到泥裡去輥；這話在他們身上正合式。
