看哪，天和天上的天，地和地上所有的，都属耶和华你的神。

你们岂不曾知道吗？你们岂不曾听见吗？从起初岂没有人告诉你们吗？自从立地的根基，你们岂没有明白吗？ 22 神坐在地球大圈之上，地上的居民好像蝗虫。他铺张穹苍如幔子，展开诸天如可住的帐棚。 23 他使君王归于虚无，使地上的审判官成为虚空。 24 他们是刚才栽上，（刚才或作不曾下同）刚才种上，根也刚才扎在地里，他一吹在其上，便都枯干，旋风将他们吹去，像碎秸一样。 25 那圣者说，你们将谁比我，叫他与我相等呢？ Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? 22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. 23 He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. 24 No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. 25 "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One. – Isaiah 40:21 - 25

耶和华说，我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念，要叫你们末后有指望。 12 你们要呼求我，祷告我，我就应允你们。 13 你们寻求我，若专心寻求我，就必寻见。 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11 -13

少种的少收，多种的多收。这话是真的。 7 各人要随本心所酌定的。不要作难，不要勉强，因为捐得乐意的人，是神所喜爱的。 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. – 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

神能将各样的恩惠，多多地加给你们。使你们凡事常常充足，能多行各样善事。 9 如经上所记，他施舍钱财，周济贫穷。他的仁义存到永远。 10 那赐种给撒种的，赐粮给人吃的，必多多加给你们种地的种子，又增添你们仁义的果子。 11 叫你们凡事富足，可以多多施舍，就借着我们使感谢归于神。 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. – 2 Corinthians 9:8 - 11

就用比喻对他们说，有一个财主，田产丰盛。 17 自己心里思想说，我的出产没有地方收藏，怎么办呢？ 18 又说，我要这么办。要把我的仓房拆了，另盖更大的。在那里好收藏我一切的粮食和财物。 19 然后要对我的灵魂说，灵魂哪，你有许多财物积存，可作多年的费用。只管安安逸逸的吃喝快乐吧。 20 神却对他说，无知的人哪，今夜必要你的灵魂。你所预备的，要归谁呢？ 21 凡为自己积财，在神面前却不富足的，也是这样。 And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. 17 He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' 18 "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."' 20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 21 "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.“ – Luke 12:16-20

因为办这供给的事，不但补圣徒的缺乏，而且叫许多人越发感谢神。 13 他们从这供给的事上得了凭据，知道你们承认基督顺服他的福音，多多地捐钱给他们和众人，便将荣耀归与神。 14 他们也因神极大的恩赐，显在你们心里，就切切地想念你们，为你们祈祷。 15 感谢神，因他有说不尽的恩赐。 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! – 2 Corinthians 9:12 - 15

都恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此交接，掰饼，祈祷。 43 众人都惧怕。使徒又行了许多奇事神迹。 44 信的人都在一处，凡物公用。 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. – Acts 2:42 – 44 内中也没有一个缺乏的，因为人人将田产房屋都卖了，把所卖的价银拿来，放在使徒脚前。 35 照各人所需用的，分给各人。 There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. – Acts 4:34-35
