林前3章8-13节 (1 Corinthians 3: 8-13) 3:8 栽种的和浇灌的，都是一样。但将来各人要照自己的工夫得自己的赏赐。 3:9 因为我们是与神同工的; 你们是神所耕种的田地,所建造的房屋。 3:10 我照　神所给我的恩，好像一个聪明的工头，立好了根基，有别人在上面建造，只是各人要谨慎怎样在上面建造。 3:11 因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督,此外没有人能立别的根基。 3:12 若有人用金、银、宝石、草木、禾秸在这根基上建造， 3:13 各人的工程必然显露，因为那日子要将它表明出来，有火发现，这火要试验各人的工程怎样。 3:8 The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God‘s husbandry, ye are God’s building. 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

弗4章:11-13,15-16节 (Ephesus 4:11-13,15-16) 4:11 他所赐的有使徒，有先知，有传福音的，有牧师和教师。 4:12 为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体， 4:13 直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一，认识神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量， 4:15 惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。 4:16 全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照着各体的功用彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。 4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 4:12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, 4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 4:15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

罗马书 11:33-36; 1:19-20; 3:23-24… Book of Rome, 11:33-36; 1:19-20; 3:23-24… 11:33 深哉，神丰富的智慧和知识！他的判断何其难测！他的踪迹何其难寻！ 11:34 “谁知道主的心？谁作过他的谋士呢？” 11:35 “谁是先给了他，使他后来偿还呢？” 11:36 因为万有都是本于他,倚靠他,归于他。愿荣耀归给他,直到永远。阿们! 1:19 神的事情，人所能知道的，原显明在人心里，因为神已经给他们显明。 1:20 自从造天地以来，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，虽是眼不能见，但借着所造之物就可以晓得，叫人无可推诿。 3:23 因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了　神的荣耀； 3:24 如今却蒙　神的恩典，因基督耶稣的救赎，就白白地称义。 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 11:34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" 11:35 "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" 11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. 1:19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 3:24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

罗马书 12章1-2节 (Book of Rome 12: 1-2) 12:1 所以弟兄们,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;你们如此事奉,乃是理所当然的。 12:2 不要效法这个世界,只要心意更新而变化,叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
