2 岂不知你们是神的殿，神的灵住在你们里头吗？
因他使我们和睦，（原文作因他是我们的和睦）将两下合而为一，拆毁了中间隔断的墙。 15 而且以自己的身体，废掉冤仇，就是那记在律法上的规条。为要将两下，借着自己造成一个新人，如此便成就了和睦。 16 既在十字架上灭了冤仇，便借这十字架，使两下归为一体，与神和好了。 17 并且来传和平的福音给你们远处的人，也给那近处的人。 18 因为我们两下借着他被一个圣灵所感得以进到父面前。 19 这样，你们不再作外人，和客旅，是与圣徒同国，是神家里的人了。 20 并且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶稣自己为房角石。 21 各（或作全）房靠他联络得合式，渐渐成为主的圣殿。 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. –以弗所書 Ephesians 2:14-21 你去告诉我仆人大卫，说耶和华如此说，你岂可建造殿宇给我居住呢？ 6 自从我领以色列人出埃及直到今日，我未曾住过殿宇，常在会幕和帐幕中行走。 7 凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列一支派的士师，就是我吩咐牧养我民以色列的说，你们为何不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？ "Go and tell my servant David, 'This is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?" –撒母耳記下 2 Samuel 7:5-7 岂不知你们是神的殿，神的灵住在你们里头吗？ Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? – 哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 3:16

3 哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的言语如下。亚达薛西王二十年基斯流月，我在书珊城的宫中。 2 那时，有我一个弟兄哈拿尼，同着几个人从犹大来。我问他们那些被掳归回，剩下逃脱的犹大人和耶路撒冷的光景。 3 他们对我说，那些被掳归回剩下的人，在犹大省遭大难，受凌辱。并且耶路撒冷的城墙拆毁，城门被火焚烧。 The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. 3 They said to me, "Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.“ –尼希米 Nehemiah 1:1-3

5 我听见这话，就坐下哭泣，悲哀几日。在天上的神面前禁食祈祷，说， 5 耶和华天上的神，大而可畏的神阿，你向爱你，守你诫命的人守约施慈爱。 6 愿你睁眼看，侧耳听，你仆人昼夜在你面前，为你众仆人以色列民的祈祷，承认我们以色列人向你所犯的罪。我与我父家都有罪了。 7 我们向你所行的甚是邪恶，没有遵守你借着仆人，摩西所吩咐的诫命，律例，典章。 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said: "O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father's house, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. –尼希米 Nehemiah 1:4-7

7 道成了肉身住在我们中间，充充满满的有恩典有真理。我们也见过他的荣光，正是父独生子的荣光。
神 人 道成了肉身住在我们中间，充充满满的有恩典有真理。我们也见过他的荣光，正是父独生子的荣光。 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. –約翰福音 John 1:14

8 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。 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。 3 我凭着所赐我的恩，对你们各人说，不要看自己过于所当看的。要照着神所分给各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。 4 正如我们一个身子上有好些肢体，肢体也不都是一样的用处。 5 我们这许多人，在基督里成为一身，互相联络作肢体，也是如此。 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. 3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others – 羅馬書 Romans 12:1-5

10 以后，我对他们说，我们所遭的难，耶路撒冷怎样荒凉，城门被火焚烧，你们都看见了。来吧，我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得再受凌辱。 18 我告诉他们我神施恩的手怎样帮助我，并王对我所说的话。他们就说，我们起来建造吧。于是他们奋勇做这善工。 Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace." 18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work. - –尼希米 Nehemiah 2:17-18

11 所以在基督里若有什么劝勉，爱心有什么安慰，圣灵有什么交通，心中有什么慈悲怜悯， 2 你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。 3 凡事不可结党，不可贪图虚浮的荣耀。只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。 4 各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。 5 你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。 6 他本有神的形像，不以自己与神同等为强夺的。 7 反倒虚己，取了奴仆的形像，成为人的样式。 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! -腓立比書 Philippians 2:1-8

15 求你记念所吩咐你仆人摩西的话，说，你们若犯罪，我就把你们分散在万民中。 9 但你们若归向我，谨守遵行我的诫命，你们被赶散的人虽在天涯，我也必从那里将他们招聚回来，带到我所选择立为我名的居所。 10 这都是你的仆人，你的百姓，就是你用大力，和大能的手所救赎的。 11 主阿，求你侧耳听你仆人的祈祷，和喜爱敬畏你名众仆人的祈祷，使你仆人现今亨通，在王面前蒙恩。我是作王酒政的。 "Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.' 10 "They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man." I was cupbearer to the king. –尼希米 Nehemiah 1:8-11
