你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神,因为他顾念你们。

be subject one to another, and

耶和华说,这一切都是我手所造的,所以就都有了。但我所看顾的就是虚心痛悔因我话而战兢的人。(虚心原文作贫穷) 以赛亚书6:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. - Isaiah 66:2
原来神的忿怒,从天上显明在一切不虔不义的人身上,就是那些行不义阻挡真理的人。
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。 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。
因为他们虽然知道神,却不当作神荣耀他,也不感谢他。他们的思念变为虚妄,无知的心就昏暗了。 自称为聪明,反成了愚拙,
将不能朽坏之神的荣耀变为偶像,仿佛必朽坏的人,和飞禽走兽昆虫的样式。 所以神任凭他们,逞着心里的情欲行污秽的事,以致彼此玷辱自己的身体。 他们将神的真实变为虚谎,去敬拜事奉受造之物,不敬奉那造物的主。主乃是可称颂的,直到永远。阿们。
因此神任凭他们放纵可羞耻的情欲。他们的女人,把顺性的用处,变为逆性的用处。 男人也是如此,弃了女人顺性的用处,欲火攻心,彼此贪恋,男和男行可羞耻的事,就在自己身上受这妄为当得的报应。
他们既然故意不认识神,神就任凭他们存邪僻的心行那些不合理的事,罗马书 1:18-28
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
hold the truth in unrighteousness;.. Because that which may be known of
God is manifest in them; for
God hath shewed it unto them... For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power
and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:.. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him
not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart
was darkened... Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools,.. And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and
creeping things... Wherefore God
also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonour their own bodies
between themselves:.. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped
and served the creature
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen... For this cause
God gave them up unto vile
affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that
which is against nature:.. And
likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men
with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error
which was meet... And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to
a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; - Romans
1:18-28
就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人。这旧人是因私欲的迷惑,渐渐变坏的。
以弗所书 4:22
That ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts;.. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;.. And that
ye put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness. -
Ephesians 4:22-24
人若与男人苟合,像与女人一样,他们二人行了可憎的事,总要把他们治死,罪要归到他们身上。利未记 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them
have committed an
abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon
them. - Leviticus 20:13
你们岂不知不义的人不能承受神的国吗?不要自欺。无论是淫乱的,拜偶像的,奸淫的,作娈童的,亲男色的,
偷窃的,贪婪的,醉酒的,辱骂的,勒索的,都不能承受神的国。 你们中间也有人从前是这样。但如今你们奉主耶稣基督的名,并借着我们神的灵,已经洗净,成圣称义了。 哥林多前书 6:9-11
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers
of themselves with mankind,.. Nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God...
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but
ye are justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
至于淫乱,并一切污秽,或是贪婪,在你们中间连提都不可,方合圣徒的体统。以弗所书 5:3
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once
named among you, as
becometh saints; - Ephesians 5:3
婚姻,人人都当尊重,床也不可污秽。因为苟合行淫的人神必要审判。

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers
and adulterers God will judge. -

不可杀人。申命记 5:17

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book
all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

神就照着自己的形像造人,乃是照着他的形像造男造女。创世记 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he
them. - Genesis 1:27
儿女是耶和华所赐的产业。所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。诗篇 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is
his reward. - Psalm 127:3
我的肺腑是你所造的。我在母腹中,你已覆庇我。 我要称谢你,因我受造,奇妙可畏。你的作为奇妙,这是我心深知道的。
我在暗中受造,在地的深处被联络。那时,我的形体并不向你隐藏。 诗篇39:13-15
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb... I will praise thee; for
I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that
my soul knoweth right well...
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously
wrought in the lowest
parts of the earth. - Psalm 139:13-15
造我在腹中的,不也是造他吗?将他与我抟在腹中的,岂不是一位吗?

Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion
us in the womb? - Job 31:15

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest
forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet
unto the nations. - Jeremiah 1:5

Spirit; - Ephesians 5:18

me, and every tongue shall confess
to God... So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
- Romans 14:11
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。
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。罗马书 12:1,2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service... And be
not conformed to this world: but be
ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is
that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God. - Romans 12:1,2

Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers
of themselves with mankind,.. Nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God...And such were some of you: but ye are
washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
凡事我都可行。但不都有益处。凡事我都可行,但无论那一件,我总不受他的辖制。哥林多前书 6:12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things
are lawful for me, but I will not
be brought under the power of any. - 1 Corinthians 6:12
这样,你们向罪也当看自己是死的。向神在基督耶稣里却当看自己是活的。 所以不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王,使你们顺从身子的私欲。
也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具。倒要像从死里复活的人,将自己献给神。并将肢体作义的器具献给神。罗马书 6:11-13
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive
unto God through Jesus Christ
our Lord... Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should
obey it in the lusts thereof...Neither yield ye your members as instruments
of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that
are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness
unto God. - Romans 6:11-13
所以天父的儿子若叫你们自由,你们就真自由了。约翰福音 8:36

forsaketh them shall have mercy.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us... If we confess our sins,

哥林多前书 10:13

is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it. - 1 Corinthians 10:13
你们要逃避淫行。人所犯的,无论什么罪,都在身子以外。惟有行淫的,是得罪自己的身子。哥林多前书 6:18
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which
is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? - I Corinthians
6:18

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the
Spirit; -Ephesians 5:18
你们存这样的心,从今以后,就可以不从人的情欲,只从神的旨意,在世度余下的光阴。 因为往日随从外邦人的心意,行邪淫,恶欲,醉酒,荒宴,群饮,并可恶拜偶像的事,时候已经够了。
他们在这些事上,见你们不与他们同奔那放荡无度的路,就以为怪毁谤你们。 他们必在那将要审判活人死人的主面前交账。 为此,就是死人也曾有福音传给他们,要叫他们的肉体按着人受审判,他们的灵性却靠神活着。
万物的结局近了。所以你们要谨慎自守,儆醒祷告。彼得前书 4:2-7
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may
suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in
lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable
idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to
the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account
to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For for this cause
was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be
judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the
spirit. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and
watch unto prayer. - I Peter 4:2-7
神圣的圣经包含上帝的意思,人的境况,救恩的方法, 罪人的厄运,和信徒的幸福。其教条是神圣的,其规则是约束的,其历史是真实的,其决定是不变的。读它以得到聪明,信它而得以安全,实践它以致圣洁。它拥有指引你的亮光,是支持你的粮食,使你鼓舞的安慰。是旅客的地图,圣地朝拜者的杖竿,机师的指南针,军人的剑,基督徒的章程。乐园重获恢复,天堂得以开启,地狱之门被揭露。
基督乃是圣经的大主题,我们而设计的,而达致上帝的荣誉。应常紧记它,主旨心术,指引脚步。要幔慢的,经常的,和充满祷告的来阅读。是一座财富的矿,光荣的乐园,且是欢乐的河流。在审判时会被打开,会永远被记着。它包含最高的责任,会奖励最伟大的努力,并将谴责所有轻视它那神圣的内容。[GI]
