不要懼怕 Fear Not!

就生了头胎的儿子，用布包起来，放在马槽里，因为客店里没有地方。 8 在伯利恒之野地里有牧羊的人，夜间按着更次看守羊群。 9 有主的使者站在他们旁边，主的荣光四面照着他们。牧羊的人就甚惧怕。 10 那天使对他们说，不要惧怕，我报给你们大喜的信息，是关乎万民的。 11 因今天在大卫的城里，为你们生了救主，就是主基督。 12 你们要看见一个婴孩，包着布，卧在马槽里，那就是记号了。. . . and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.“ – Luke 2:7-12

因今天在大卫的城里，为你们生了救主，就是主基督。Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. – Luke 2:11

报好信息给锡安的阿，你要登高山。报好信息给耶路撒冷的阿，你要极力扬声。扬声不要惧怕，对犹大的城邑说，看哪，你们的神。 10 主耶和华必像大能者临到，他的膀臂必为他掌权。他的赏赐在他那里，他的报应在他面前。 11 他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群，用膀臂聚集羊羔抱在怀中，慢慢引导那乳养小羊的。 You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God!" 10 See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. 11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. – Isaiah 40:9-11

我留下平安给你们，我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的，不像世人所赐的。你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。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. – John 14:27 我将这些事告诉你们，是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有苦难。但你们可以放心，我已经胜了世界。 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.“ – John 16:33

父差子作世人的救主，这是我们所看见且作见证的。 15 凡认耶稣为神儿子的，神就住在他里面，他也住在神里面。 16 神爱我们的心，我们也知道也信。神就是爱。住在爱里面的，就是住在神里面，神也住在他里面。 17 这样爱在我们里面得以完全，我们就可以在审判的日子，坦然无惧。因为他如何，我们在这世上也如何。 18 爱里没有惧怕。爱既完全，就把惧怕除去。因为惧怕里含着刑罚。惧怕的人在爱里未得完全。And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17 In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. – 1 John 4:14-18

忽然有一大队天兵，同那天使赞美神说， 14 在至高之处荣耀归与神，在地上平安归与他所喜悦的人。（有古卷作喜悦归与人）。 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.“ – Luke 2:13-14
