Acts 20:29–30 29 我知道，我去之後必有兇暴的豺狼進入你們中間，不愛惜羊群。30 就是你們中間，也必有人起來說悖謬的話，要引誘門徒跟從他們。 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.

Acts 20:28 28 聖靈立你們作全群的監督，你們就當為自己謹慎，也為全群謹慎，牧養上帝的教會，就是他用自己血所買來的。 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

2 Thessalonians 2:14–15 14 上帝藉我們所傳的福音召你們到這地步，好得著我們主耶穌基督的榮光。15 所以，弟兄們，你們要站立得穩，凡所領受的教訓，不拘是我們口傳的，是信上寫的，都要堅守。 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
