神的應許,不論有多少,在基督都是是的,所以藉着他也都是實在的,
(實在原文作阿們)叫神因我們得榮耀。
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen,
unto the glory of God by us.
---林後1:20
你們作兒女的,要在主里聽從父母,這是理所當然的。
要孝敬父母,使你得福,在世長壽。這是第一條帶應許的誡命。
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first
commandment with promise;
---弗6:1-3
虛心的人有福了,因為天國是他們的。
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
清心的人有福了,因為他們必得見神。
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
---馬太福音5:3,8
凡為我的名撇下房屋,或是弟兄,姐妹,父親,母親,(有古卷添妻子),
兒女,田地的,必要得着百倍,並且承受永生。
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
---太19:29
凡父所賜給我的人,必到我這裡來。到我這裡來的,我總不丟棄他。
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
----約6:37
你們存心不可貪愛錢財。要以自己所有的為足。
因為主曾說,我總不撇下你,也不丟去你。
Let your conversation be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
---來13:5
你們若常在我裡面,我的話也常在你們裡面,
凡你們所願意的,祈求就給你們成就。
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
---約15:7
向來你們沒有奉我的名求什麼,如今你們求就必得着,叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name:
ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
---約16:24
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。
And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
---羅馬書8:28
耶穌回答說,我實在告訴你們,你們若有信心,不疑惑,
不但能行無花果樹上所行的事,就是對這座山說,
你挪開此地,投在海里,也必成就。
Jesus answered and said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not,
ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree,
but also if ye shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
it shall be done.
--馬太福音21:21
耶穌對他們說,我曾看見撒但從天上墜落,像閃電一樣。
我已經給你們權柄,可以踐踏蛇和蠍子,
又勝過仇敵一切的能力,斷沒有什麼能害你們。
然而不要因鬼服了你們就歡喜,要因你們的名記在天上歡喜。
And he said unto them,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
---路加福音10:18-20
神既不愛惜自己的兒子為我們眾人舍了,豈不也把萬物和他一同白白的
賜給我們嗎。誰能控告 神所揀選的人呢?有神稱他們為義了(註:或作
“是稱他們為義的 神嗎?”)。誰能定他們的罪呢?有基督耶穌已經死
了,而且從死里復活,現今在神的右邊,也替我們祈求。
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?
It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again,
who is even at the right hand of God,
who also maketh intercession for us.
在你院宇住一日,勝似在別處住千日。
寧可在我神殿中看門,不願住在惡人的帳棚里。
因為耶和華神是日頭,是盾牌,要賜下恩惠和榮耀。
他未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield:
the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
---詩篇84:11
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,你的酒榨有新酒盈溢。
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes:
fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones
Honour the LORD with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
---箴言3:5-10
當將你的事交託耶和華,並倚靠他,他就必成全。
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.
--詩篇37:5
你所揀選,使他親近你,住在你院中的,這人便為有福。
我們必因你居所,你聖殿的美福知足了。
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest,
and causest to approach unto thee,
that he may dwell in thy courts:
we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,
even of thy holy temple.
你們親近神,神就必親近你們。
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
--雅4:8a
願上帝祝福他自己的話語。天地都要過去,惟有他的話永遠長存。
