馬太福音 6:25
- 34
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
「所以我告訴你們，不要為生命憂慮吃什麼，喝什麼；為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎？身體不勝於衣裳嗎？
你們看那天上的飛鳥，也不種，也不收，也不積蓄在倉裡，你們的天父尚且養活他。你們不比飛鳥貴重得多嗎？
你們那一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢（或作：使身量多加一肘呢）？
何必為衣裳憂慮呢？你想野地裡的百合花怎麼長起來；他也不勞苦，也不紡線。
然而我告訴你們，就是所羅門極榮華的時候，他所穿戴的，還不如這花一朵呢！
你們這小信的人哪！野地裡的草今天還在，明天就丟在爐裡，神還給他這樣的妝飾，何況你們呢！
所以，不要憂慮說：吃什麼？喝什麼？穿什麼？
這都是外邦人所求的，你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。
你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。
所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮；一天的難處一天當就夠了。」
腓立比書 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。
彼得前書 5:6
- 7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
所以，你們要自卑，服在神大能的手下，到了時候他必叫你們升高。
你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神，因為他顧念你們。
腓立比書 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。
馬太福音 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮；一天的難處一天當就夠了。」
約翰福音 14:1
- 4
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ote style="f" caller="+"> 14:1 Or Believe in God ; believe also in me.
My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going."
「你們心裡不要憂愁；你們信神，也當信我。
在我父的家裡有許多住處；若是沒有，我就早已告訴你們了。我去原是為你們預備地方去。
我若去為你們預備了地方，就必再來接你們到我那裡去，我在那裡，叫你們也在那裡。
我往那裡去，你們知道；那條路，你們也知道（有古卷：我往那裡去，你們知道那條路）。」
希伯來書 13:6
So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"
所以我們可以放膽說：主是幫助我的，我必不懼怕；人能把我怎麼樣呢？
彼得前書 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神，因為他顧念你們。
箴言 3:5
- 6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
你要專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明，
在你一切所行的事上都要認定他，他必指引你的路。
馬太福音 6:25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
「所以我告訴你們，不要為生命憂慮吃什麼，喝什麼；為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎？身體不勝於衣裳嗎？
詩篇 55:22
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

以賽亞書 43:1
- 3
But now, this is what the Lord says- he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
雅各啊，創造你的耶和華，以色列啊，造成你的那位，現在如此說：你不要害怕！因為我救贖了你。我曾提你的名召你，你是屬我的。
你從水中經過，我必與你同在；你逿過江河，水必不漫過你；你從火中行過，必不被燒，火焰也不著在你身上。
因為我是耶和華你的神，是以色列的聖者你的救主；我已經使埃及作你的贖價，使古實和西巴代替你。
詩篇 32:8
- 10
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.
Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.
我要教導你，指示你當行的路；我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。
你不可像那無知的騾馬，必用嚼環轡頭勒住他；不然，就不能馴服。
惡人必多受苦楚；惟獨倚靠耶和華的必有慈愛四面環繞他。
羅馬書 8:28
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.
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。
箴言 3:1
- 35
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,
because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.
By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;
by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion;
they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.
Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back tomorrow and I'll give it to you"- when you already have it with you.
Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
Do not accuse anyone for no reason- when they have done you no harm.
Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.
For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.
The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
我兒，不要忘記我的法則（或作：指教）；你心要謹守我的誡命；
因為他必將長久的日子，生命的年數與平安，加給你。
不可使慈愛、誠實離開你，要繫在你頸項上，刻在你心版上。
這樣，你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩寵，有聰明。
你要專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明，
在你一切所行的事上都要認定他，他必指引你的路。
不要自以為有智慧；要敬畏耶和華，遠離惡事。
這便醫治你的肚臍，滋潤你的百骨。
你要以財物和一切初熟的土產尊榮耶和華。
這樣，你的倉房必充滿有餘；你的酒醡有新酒盈溢。
我兒，你不可輕看耶和華的管教（或作：懲治），也不可厭煩他的責備；
因為耶和華所愛的，他必責備，正如父親責備所喜愛的兒子。
得智慧，得聰明的，這人便為有福。
因為得智慧勝過得銀子，其利益強如精金，
比珍珠（或作：紅寶石）寶貴；你一切所喜愛的，都不足與比較。
他右手有長壽，左手有富貴。
他的道是安樂；他的路全是平安。
他與持守他的作生命樹；持定他的，俱各有福。
耶和華以智慧立地，以聰明定天，
以知識使深淵裂開，使天空滴下甘露。
我兒，要謹守真智慧和謀略，不可使他離開你的眼目。
這樣，他必作你的生命，頸項的美飾。
你就坦然行路，不至碰腳。
你躺下，必不懼怕；你躺臥，睡得香甜。
忽然來的驚恐，不要害怕；惡人遭毀滅，也不要恐懼。
因為耶和華是你所倚靠的；他必保守你的腳不陷入網羅。
你手若有行善的力量，不可推辭，就當向那應得的人施行。
你那裡若有現成的，不可對鄰舍說：去吧，明天再來，我必給你。
你的鄰舍既在你附近安居，你不可設計害他。
人未曾加害與你，不可無故與他相爭。
不可嫉妒強暴的人，也不可選擇他所行的路。
因為，乖僻人為耶和華所憎惡；正直人為他所親密。
耶和華咒詛惡人的家庭，賜福與義人的居所。
他譏誚那好譏誚的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。
智慧人必承受尊榮；愚昧人高陞也成為羞辱。
箴言 17:22
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
喜樂的心乃是良藥；憂傷的靈使骨枯乾。
路加福音 21:36
Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."
你們要時時警醒，常常祈求，使你們能逃避這一切要來的事，得以站立在人子面前。」
腓立比書 1:6
- 7
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.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.
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。
我為你們眾人有這樣的意念，原是應當的；因你們常在我心裡，無論我是在捆鎖之中，是辯明證實福音的時候，你們都與我一同得恩。
腓立比書 4:6
- 7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。
神所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裡保守你們的心懷意念。
詩篇 42:11
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因我還要稱讚他。他是我臉上的光榮（原文作幫助），是我的神。
加拉太書 1:4
who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
基督照我們父神的旨意，為我們的罪捨己，要救我們脫離這罪惡的世代。
雅各書 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
你們中間若有缺少智慧的，應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的神，主就必賜給他。
約書亞記 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
我豈沒有吩咐你嗎？你當剛強壯膽！不要懼怕，也不要驚惶；因為你無論往那裡去，耶和華你的神必與你同在。」
詩篇 34:14
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕。
詩篇 37:7
- 9
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
你當默然倚靠耶和華，耐性等候他；不要因那道路通達的和那惡謀成就的心懷不平。
當止住怒氣，離棄忿怒；不要心懷不平，以致作惡。
因為作惡的必被剪除；惟有等候耶和華的必承受地土。
詩篇 46:1
- 11
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
（可拉後裔的詩歌，交與伶長。調用女音。）神是我們的避難所，是我們的力量，是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。
所以，地雖改變，山雖搖動到海心，
其中的水雖匉訇翻騰，山雖因海漲而戰抖，我們也不害怕。（細拉）
有一道河，這河的分汊使神的城歡喜；這城就是至高者居住的聖所。
神在其中，城必不動搖；到天一亮，神必幫助這城。
外邦喧嚷，列國動搖；神發聲，地便鎔化。
萬軍之耶和華與我們同在；雅各的神是我們的避難所！（細拉）
你們來看耶和華的作為，看他使地怎樣荒涼。
他止息刀兵，直到地極；他折弓、斷槍，把戰車焚燒在火中。
你們要休息，要知道我是神！我必在外邦中被尊崇，在遍地上也被尊崇。
萬軍之耶和華與我們同在；雅各的神是我們的避難所！
馬太福音 6:31
- 33
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
所以，不要憂慮說：吃什麼？喝什麼？穿什麼？
這都是外邦人所求的，你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。
你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。
馬太福音 6:19
- 21
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
「不要為自己積儹財寶在地上；地上有蟲子咬，能(金秀)壞，也有賊挖窟窿來偷。
只要積儹財寶在天上；天上沒有蟲子咬，不能(金秀)壞，也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷。
因為你的財寶在那裡，你的心也在那裡。」
腓立比書 4:8
- 9
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.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
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。
你們在我身上所學習的，所領受的，所聽見的，所看見的，這些事你們都要去行，賜平安的神就必與你們同在。
彼得前書 5:10
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
那賜諸般恩典的神曾在基督裡召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。
約翰福音 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
我留下平安給你們；我將我的平安賜給你們。我所賜的，不像世人所賜的。你們心裡不要憂愁，也不要膽怯。
哥林多後書 4:1
- 18
Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.
Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.
So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." Since we have that same spirit of4:13Or Spirit-given faith, we also believe and therefore speak,
because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
我們既然蒙憐憫，受了這職分，就不喪膽，
乃將那些暗昧可恥的事棄絕了；不行詭詐，不謬講神的道理，只將真理表明出來，好在神面前把自己薦與各人的良心。
如果我們的福音蒙蔽，就是蒙蔽在滅亡的人身上。
此等不信之人被這世界的神弄瞎了心眼，不叫基督榮耀福音的光照著他們。基督本是神的像。
我們原不是傳自己，乃是傳基督耶穌為主，並且自己因耶穌作你們的僕人。
那吩咐光從黑暗裡照出來的神，已經照在我們心裡，叫我們得知神榮耀的光顯在耶穌基督的面上。
我們有這寶貝放在瓦器裡，要顯明這莫大的能力是出於神，不是出於我們。
我們四面受敵，卻不被困住；心裡作難，卻不至失望；
遭逼迫，卻不被丟棄；打倒了，卻不至死亡。
身上常帶著耶穌的死，使耶穌的生也顯明在我們身上。
因為我們這活著的人是常為耶穌被交於死地，使耶穌的生在我們這必死的身上顯明出來。
這樣看來，死是在我們身上發動，生卻在你們身上發動。
但我們既有信心，正如經上記著說：『我因信，所以如此說話。』我們也信，所以也說話。
自己知道那叫主耶穌復活的，也必叫我們與耶穌一同復活，並且叫我們與你們一同站在他面前。
凡事都是為你們，好叫恩惠因人多越發加增，感謝格外顯多，以致榮耀歸與神。
所以，我們不喪膽。外體雖然毀壞，內心卻一天新似一天。
我們這至暫至輕的苦楚，要為我們成就極重無比、永遠的榮耀。
原來我們不是顧念所見的，乃是顧念所不見的；因為所見的是暫時的，所不見的是永遠的。
腓立比書 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
我的神必照他榮耀的豐富，在基督耶穌裡，使你們一切所需用的都充足。
腓立比書 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
神所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裡保守你們的心懷意念。
詩篇 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
（大衛的詩。）耶和華是我的牧者，我必不至缺乏。
詩篇 37:8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil.
當止住怒氣，離棄忿怒；不要心懷不平，以致作惡。
詩篇 46:1

所以，地雖改變，山雖搖動到海心，
耶利米書 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
耶和華說：我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們末後有指望。
馬太福音 24:13
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
惟有忍耐到底的，必然得救。
路加福音 10:41
- 42
"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."
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。」
路加福音 21:34
"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.
「你們要謹慎，恐怕因貪食、醉酒，並今生的思慮累住你們的心，那日子就如同網羅忽然臨到你們；
約翰福音 16:12
"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
「我還有好些事要告訴你們，但你們現在擔當不了（或作：不能領會）。
使徒行傳 17:30
- 31
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."
世人蒙昧無知的時候，神並不監察，如今卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改。
因為他已經定了日子，要藉著他所設立的人按公義審判天下，並且叫他從死裡復活，給萬人作可信的憑據。」
羅馬書 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
如今，那些在基督耶穌裡的就不定罪了。
哥林多前書 6:19
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;
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；
哥林多前書 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
你們所遇見的試探，無非是人所能受的。神是信實的，必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的；在受試探的時候，總要給你們開一條出路，叫你們能忍受得住。
腓立比書 3:13
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
弟兄們，我不是以為自己已經得著了；我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的，
歌羅西書 3:15
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
又要叫基督的平安在你們心裡作主；你們也為此蒙召，歸為一體；且要存感謝的心。
提摩太前書 6:6
- 12
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；
因為我們沒有帶什麼到世上來，也不能帶什麼去。
只要有衣有食，就當知足。
但那些想要發財的人，就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裡，叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。
貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。
但你這屬神的人要逃避這些事，追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。
你要為真道打那美好的仗，持定永生。你為此被召，也在許多見證人面前，已經作了那美好的見證。
提摩太後書 1:7
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
因為神賜給我們，不是膽怯的心，乃是剛強、仁愛、謹守的心。
