begat he us with the word of truth。 — It is not of him that willeth; nor of him that runneth; but of God that sheweth mercy。 — Where is boasting then? It is excluded。 — Christ Jesus; 。。。 is made unto us wisdom; and righteousness; and sanctification; and redemption: 。。。 He that glorieth let him glory in the Lord。 You hath he quickened; who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world; according to the prince of the power of the air; the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh; fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath; even as others。 — Ye are washed; 。。。 ye are sanctified; 。。。 ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus; and by the Spirit of our God。 I COR。 4:7。 I Cor。 15:10。 …Jas。 1:18。 …Rom。 9:16。 …Rom。 3:27。 …I Cor。 1:30;31。 Eph。 2:1…3。 …I Cor。 6:11。

他爱我们,用自己的血使我们脱离罪恶(启1:5)。 爱情如死之坚强,众水不能熄灭,大水也不能淹没(歌8:6,7)。人为朋友舍命,人的爱心没有比这个大的(约15:13)。
他被挂在木头上,亲身担当了我们的罪,使我们既然在罪上死,就得以在义上活。因他受的鞭伤,你们便得了医治(彼前2:24)。我们藉这爱子的血得蒙救赎,过犯得以赦免,乃是照他丰富的恩典(弗1:7)。 你们奉主耶稣基督的名,并藉着我们 神的灵,已经洗净、成圣、称义了(林前6:11)。你们是被拣选的族类,是有君尊的祭司,是圣洁的国度,是属 神的子民,要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗、入奇妙光明者的美德(彼前2:9)。 弟兄们,我以 神的慈悲劝你们,将身体献上,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是 神所喜悦的,你们如此侍奉,乃是理所当然的(罗12:1)。 Unto him that loved us; and washed us from our sins in his own blood。 Many waters cannot quench love; neither can the floods drown it。 Love is strong as death。 — Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends。 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree; that we; being dead to sins; should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed。 — In whom we have redemption through his blood; the forgiveness of sins; according to the riches of his grace。 Ye are washed; 。。。 ye are sanctified; 。。。 ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus; and by the Spirit of our God。 — Ye are a chosen generation; a royal priesthood; a holy nation; a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light。 — I beseech you 。。。 brethren; by the mercies of God; that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice; holy; acceptable unto God; which is your reasonable service。 REV。 1:5。 Song 8:7;6。 …John 15:13。 I Pet。 2:24。 …Eph。 1:7。 I Cor。 6:11。 …I Pet。 2:9。 …Rom。 12:1。

职事也有分别,主却是一位(林前12:5)。 掌管王府库的是亚叠的儿子押斯马威;掌管田野城邑村庄保障之仓库的是约拿单;掌管耕田种地的是以斯利;掌管葡萄园的是示每;这都是给大卫王掌管产业的(代上27:25…27,31)。 神在教会所设立的:第一是使徒,第二是先知,第三是教师,其次是行异能的,再次是得恩赐医病的、帮助人的、治理事的、说方言的。这一切都是这位圣灵所运行,随己意分给各人的(林前12:28,11)。 各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服侍,作 神百般恩赐的好管家。若有讲道的,要按着 神的圣言讲;若有服侍人的,要按着 神所赐的力量服侍,叫 神在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀。原来荣耀、权能都是他的,直到永永远远。阿们(彼前4:10,11)! There are differences of administrations; but the same Lord。
Over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses 。。。 Jehonathan: and over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground
was Ezri: and over the vineyards was Shimei。 These were the rulers of the substance which was king David's。 God hath set some in the church; first apostles; secondarily prophets; thirdly teachers; after that miracles; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; diversities of tongues。 All these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit; dividing to every man severally as he will。 As every man hath received the gift; even so minister the same one to another; as good stewards of the manifold grace of God。 If any man speak; let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister; let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever。 I COR。 12:5。 I Chr。 27:25…27;31。 I Cor。 12:28;11。 I Pet。 4:10;11。

摩西不知道自己的面皮因耶和华和他说话就发了光(出34:29)。 耶和华啊,荣耀不要归与我们,不要归与我们,要归在你的名下(诗115:1)。主啊,我们什么时候见你饿了,给你吃,渴了,给你喝(太25:37)?只要存心谦卑,各人看别人比自己强(腓2:3)。你们都要以谦卑束腰(彼前5:5)。 耶稣在他们面前变了形像,脸面明亮如日头,衣裳洁白如光(太17:2)。在公会里坐着的人都定睛看他(指司提反),见他的面貌好像天使的面貌(徒6:15)。你所赐给我的荣耀,我已赐给他们(约17:22)。我们众人既然敞着脸得以看见主的荣光,好像从镜子里返照,就变成主的形状,荣上加荣,如同从主的灵变成的(林后3:18)。 你们是世上的光。城造在山上,是不能隐藏的。人点灯,不放在斗底下,是放在灯台上,就照亮一家的人(太5:14,15)。 Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him。 Not unto us; O LORD; not unto us; but unto thy name give glory。 — Lord; when saw we thee a hungred; and fed thee? or thirsty; and gave thee drink? — In lowliness of mind; let each esteem other better than themselves。 — Be clothed with humility。 'Jesus' was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun; and his raiment was white as the light。 — All that sat in the council; looking stedfastly on Stephen; saw his face as it had been the face of an angel。 — The glory which thou gavest me; I have given them。 — We all; with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord; are changed into the same image from glory to glory; even as by the Spirit of the Lord。
Ye are the light of the world。 A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid。 Neither do men light a candle; and put it under a bushel; but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house。 EXO。 34:29。 Psa。 115:1。 …Matt。 25:37。 …Phi。 2:3。 …I Pet。 5:5。 Matt。 17:2。 …Acts 6:15。 …John 17:22。 …II Cor。 3:18。 Matt。 5:14;15。

功用也有分别, 神却是一位,在众人里面运行一切的事(林前12:6)。 有些玛拿西人来投奔大卫,这些人帮助大卫攻击群贼。他们都是大能的勇士(代上12:19,21)。圣灵显在各人身上,是叫人得益处(林前12:7)。以萨迦支派有族长,都通达时务,知道以色列人所当行的(代上12:32)。这人蒙圣灵赐他智慧的言语,那人也蒙这位圣灵赐他知识的言语(林前12:8)。西布伦支派能上阵,用各样兵器打仗,行伍整齐,不生二心的,有五万人(代上12:33)。心怀二意的人,在他一切所行的路上都没有定见(雅1:8)。免得身上分门别类,总要肢体彼此相顾。若一个肢体受苦,所有的肢体就一同受苦;若一个肢体得荣耀,所有的肢体就一同快乐(林前12:25,26)。一主,一信,一洗(弗4:5)。 There are diversities of operations; but it is the same God which worketh all in all。 There fell some of Manasseh to David。 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour。 — The mani…festation of the spirit is given to every man to profit withal。 Of the children of Issachar; which were men that had understanding of the times; to know what Israel ought to do。 — To one is given by the Spirit 。。。 the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit。 Of Zebulun; such as went forth to battle; expert in war; with all instruments of war; fifty thousand; which could keep rank: they were not of double heart。 — A double minded man is unstable in all his ways。 There should be no schism in the body; but 。。。 the members should have the same care one for another。 And whether one member suffer; all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured; all the members rejoice with it。 One Lord; one faith; one baptism。 I COR。 12:6。 I Chr。 12:19;21。 …I Cor。 12:7。 I Chr。 12:32。 …I Cor。 12:8。 I Chr。 12:33。 …Jas。 1:8。 I Cor。 12:25;26。 Eph。 4:5。

要在患难之日求告我,我必搭救你,你也要荣耀我(诗50:15)。 我的心哪,你为何忧闷?为何在我里面烦躁?应当仰望 神,因我还要称赞他。他是我脸上的光荣,是我的 神(诗42:11)。耶和华啊,谦卑人的心愿,你早已知道;你必预备他们的心,也必侧耳听他们的祈求(诗10:17)。主啊,你本为良善,乐意饶恕人,有丰盛的慈爱,赐给凡求告你的人(诗86:5)。
雅各对他家中的人说:我们要起来,上伯特利去,在那里我要筑一座坛给 神,就是在我遭难的日子应允我的祷告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位(创35:2,3)。 我爱耶和华,因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。他既向我侧耳,我一生要求告他。死亡的绳索缠绕我,阴间的痛苦抓住我。那时,我便求告耶和华的名(诗116:1…4)。 Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee; and thou shalt glorify me。 Why art thou cast down; O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him; who is the health of my count…enance; and my God。 — LORD; thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart; thou wilt cause thine ear to hear。 — For thou; Lord; art good; and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee。 Jacob said unto his household; 。。。 Let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God; who answered me in the day of my distress; and was with me in the way which I went。 — Bless the LORD; O my soul; and f
