你不要害怕。因为我救赎了你。(赛44:1。)。 不要惧怕,因你必不致蒙羞;也不要抱愧,因你必不至受辱。你必忘记幼年的羞愧,不再记念你寡居的羞辱。因为造你的是你的丈夫,万军之耶和华是他的名;救赎你的是以色列的圣者(赛54:4,5)。我涂抹了你的过犯,像厚云消散;我涂抹了你的罪恶,如薄云灭没。你当归向我,因我救赎了你(赛44:22)。是凭着基督的宝血,如同无瑕疵、无玷污的羔羊之血(彼前1:19)。 他们的救赎主大有能力,万军之耶和华是他的名。他必伸清他们的冤(耶50:34)。我父把羊赐给我,他比万有都大,谁也不能从我父手里把他们夺去(约10:29)。 愿恩惠、平安从父 神与我们的主耶稣基督归与你们。基督为我们的罪舍己,要救我们脱离这罪恶的世代。但愿荣耀归与神,直到永永远远。阿门(加1:3,4,5)! Fear not; for I have redeemed thee。 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth; and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more。 — For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel。 — I have blotted out; as a thick cloud; thy transgressions; and; as a cloud; thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee。 — With the precious blood of Christ; as of a lamb without blemish and without spot。 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause。 — My Father; which gave them me; is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand。 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father; and from our Lord Jesus Christ; who gave himself for our sins; that he might deliver us from this present evil world; according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever。 Amen。 ISA。 43:1 Isa。 54:4;5 …Isa。 44:22。 …I Pet。 1:19。 Jer。 50:34。 …John 10:29。 Gal。 1:3…5。

我要照耶和华一切所赐给我们的,提起他的慈爱和美德(赛63:7)。
他从祸坑里、从淤泥中把我拉上来,使我的脚立在磐石上,使我脚步稳当(诗40:2)。 神的儿子……爱我,为我舍己(加2:20)。神既不爱惜自己的儿子为我们众人舍了,岂不也把万物和他一同白白地赐给我们吗(罗8:32)?唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神的爱就在此向我们显明了(罗5:8)。他又用印印了我们,并赐圣灵在我们心里作凭据(林后1:22)。这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据,直等到 神之民被赎,使他的荣耀得着称赞(弗l:14)。 然而 神既有丰富的怜悯,因他爱我们的大爱,当我们死在过犯中的时候,便叫我们与基督一同活过来(你们得救是本乎恩)。他又叫我们与基督一同复活,一同坐在天上(弗2:4…6)。 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord; and the praises of the Lord; according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us。 He brought me up 。。。 out of an horrible pit; out of the miry clay; and set my feet upon a rock; and established my goings。 — The Son of God 。。。 loved me; and gave himself for me。 — 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? — God mendeth love toward us; in that; while we were yet sinners; Christ died us。 Who hath also sealed us; and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts。 — Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession; unto the praise of his glory。 God; who is rich in mercy; for his great love wherewith he loved us; even when we were dead in sins; hath quickened us together with Christ; (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together; and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus。 ISA。 43:7。 Psa。 40:2。 …Gal。 2:20。 …Rom。 8:32。 …Rom。 5:8。 II Cor。 1:22。 …Eph。 1:14。 Eph。 2:4…6。

我虽然黑,却是秀美(歌1:5)。 我是在罪孽里生的,在我母亲怀胎的时候就有了罪(诗5l:5)。你美貌的名声传在列邦中,你十分美貌,是因我加在你身上的威荣。这是主耶和华说的(结16:14)。 主啊,我是个罪人(路5:8)。我厌恶自己,在尘土和炉灰中懊悔(伯42:6)。我的佳偶,你全然美丽,毫无瑕疵(歌4:7)。 我愿意为善的时候,便有恶与我同在(罗7:21)。小子,放心吧!你的罪赦了(太9:2)。 我知道在我里头,就是我肉体之中,没有良善(罗7:18)。你们在他里面也得了丰盛(西2:10)。要把各人在基督里完完全全的引到 神面前(西1:28)。 你们奉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)。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)。 I am black; but ely。 Behold; I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me。 — Thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my eliness; which I had put upon thee; saith the Lord God。
I am a sinful man; O Lord。 — Behold; thou art fair; my love; behold; thou art fair。 I abhor myself; and repent in dust and ashes。 — Thou art all fair; my love; there is no spot in thee。 When I would do good; evil is present with me。 — Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee。 I know that in me (that is; in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing — Ye are plete in him。 — Perfect in Christ Jesus。 Ye are washed; 。。。 ye are sanctified; 。。。 ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus; and by the Spirit of our God。 — That ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light。 Song 1:5。 Psa。 51:5。 …Ezek。 16:14。 Luke 5:8。 …Song 4:1。 Job 42:6。 …Song 4:7。 Rom。 7:21。 …Matt。 9:2。 Rom。 7:18。 …Col。 2:10。 …Col。 1:28。 I Cor。 6:11。 …I Pet。 2:9。

凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的,也都要受逼迫(提后3:12)。 因为我来是叫人与父亲生疏,女儿与母亲生疏,媳妇与婆婆生疏(太10:35)。所以凡想要与世俗为友的,就是与 神为敌了(雅4:4)。不要爱世界和世界上的事。人若爱世界,爱父的心就不在他里面了。因为凡世界上的事,就象肉体的情欲,眼目的情欲,并今生的骄傲,都不是从父来的,乃是从世界来的(约壹2:15,16)。世人若恨你们,你们知道恨你们以先,已经恨我了。你们若属世界,世界必爱属自己的;只因你们不属世界,乃是我从世界中拣选了你们,所以世界就恨你们。……仆人不能大于主人(约15:18…20)。我已将你的道赐给他们,世界又恨他们;因为他们不属世界,正如我不属世界一样(约17:14)。 All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution。 I am e to set a man at variance against his father; and the daughter against her mother and the daughter…in…law against her mother…in…law。 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household。 — Whosoever 。。。 will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God。 — Love not the world; neither the things that are in the world。 If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him。 For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh; and the lust of the eyes; and the pride of life; is not of the Father; but is of the world。 If the world hate you; ye know that it hated me before it hated you。 If ye were of the world; the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world; but I have chosen you out of the world; therefore the world hateth you。 The servant is not greater than his lord。 — I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them; because they are not of the world; even as I am not of the world。

多言多语难免有过,禁止嘴唇是有智慧(箴10:19)。 我亲爱的弟兄们,你们各人要快快的听,慢慢的说,慢慢的动怒(雅l:19)。不轻易发怒的,胜过勇士;治服己心的,强如取城(箴16:32)。若有人在话语上没有过失,他就是完全人,也能勒住自己的全身(雅3:2)。要凭你的话定你为义;也要凭你的话定你有罪(太12:37)。耶和华啊,求你禁止我的口,把守我的嘴(诗14l:3)。 基督也为你们受过苦,给你们留下榜样,叫你们跟随他的脚踪行。他并没有犯罪,口里也没有诡诈。他被骂不还口,受害不说威吓的话,只将自己交托那按公义审判人的主(彼前2:21…23)。那忍受罪人这样顶撞的,你们要思想,免得疲倦灰心(来12:3)。 在他们口中察不出谎言来,他们是没有瑕疵的(启14:5)。 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise。 My beloved brethren; let every man be swift to hear; slow to speak; slow to wrath。 — He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city。 — If any man offend not in word; the same is a perfect man; and able to bridle the whole body。 — By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned。 — Set a watch; LORD; before my mouth; keep the door of my lips。 Christ 。。。 suffered for us; leaving us an example; that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin; neither was guile found in his mouth: who when he was reviled; reviled not again; when he suffered; he threatened not; but …mitted himself to him that judgeth righteously。 — Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself; lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds。 In their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God。 PROV。 10:19。 Jas。 1:19。 …Prov。 16:32。 …Jas。 3:2。 …Matt。 12:37。 …Psa。 141:3。 I Pet。 2:21…23。 …Heb。 12:3。 Rev。 14:5。

耶和华啊,求你将你的道指教我(诗27:11)。 我要教导你,指示你当行的路;我要定睛在你身上劝戒你。耶和华是良善正直的,所以他必指示罪人走正路。他必按公平引领谦卑人,将他的道教训他们(诗32:8;25:8,9)。 我就
