10 彼前 1Peter 2:9-10 9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY. 9惟有你們是被揀選的族類，是有君尊的祭司，是聖潔的國度，是屬神的子民，要叫你們宣揚那召你們出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德‧10你們從前算不得子民，現在卻作了神的子民‧從前未曾蒙憐恤，現在卻蒙了憐恤‧

11 A. New Perspective for work 新的看法/意義 (林前 1Cor 10:31, NIV)
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 所以你們或吃或喝，無論作什麼，都要為榮耀神而行‧

12 西 Colossians 3:23–24 (NIV) 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 23無論作什麼，都要從心裡作，像是給主作的，不是給人作的‧24因你們知道從主那裡，必得著基業為賞賜‧你們所事奉的乃是主基督‧

林前 1 Corinthians 7:17 (NIV84) 17 Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 只要照主所分給各人的，和神所召各人的而行‧我吩咐各教會都是這樣‧

14 Live for Christ in the real world. 在真實的世界裡為主而活.
罗 Romans 12:1–2 (NIV84) 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. 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. 1所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的‧你們如此事奉，乃是理所當然的‧2不要效法這個世界‧只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良，純全可喜悅的旨意‧

15 C. New compass for work 新的指南/方向 (賽 Isaiah 58:3,6-7; 啟 Rev 14:13; 太 Matt 6:19-21; 弥迦 Micah 6:8)
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?’ “Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers. …6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 3他們說，我們禁食，你為何不看見呢‧我們刻苦己心，你為何不理會呢‧看哪，你們禁食的日子，仍求利益，勒逼人為你們作苦工‧ …6我所揀選的禁食，不是要鬆開兇惡的繩，解下軛上的索，使被欺壓的得自由，折斷一切的軛麼‧7不是要把你的餅，分給飢餓的人‧將飄流的窮人，接到你家中‧見赤身的，給他衣服遮體‧顧恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏麼‧

16 弥迦 Micah 6:8 (NIV) 世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善‧他向你所要的是什麼呢‧只要你行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與你的神同行‧
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. 世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善‧他向你所要的是什麼呢‧只要你行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與你的神同行‧

19 Kingdom Value (國度价值) 太 Matthew 6:19–21 (NASB)
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 19不要為自己積儹財寶在地上，地上有蟲子咬，能銹壞，也有賊挖窟窿來偷‧20只要積儹財寶在天上，天上沒有蟲子咬，不能銹壞，也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷‧21因為你的財寶在那裡，你的心也在那裡‧
