亲串的弟兄,不要自己伸冤,宁可让步,听凭主怒。(或作让人发怒)因为经上记着,主说,伸冤在我。我必报应。
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
你不可为恶所胜,反要以善胜恶。
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
但如今肢体是多的,身子却是一个。
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
眼不能对手说,我用不着你。头也不能对脚说,我用不着你。
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
神在教会所设立的,第一是使徒。第二是先知,第三是教师。其次是行异能的。再次是得恩赐医病的。帮助人的。治理事的。说方言的。
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
你们要切切的求那更大的恩赐,我现今把最妙的道指示你们。
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
如今我打算第三次到你们那里去,也必不累着你们,因我所求的是你们,不是你们的财物。儿女不该为父母积财,父母该为儿女积财。
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
那忍受罪人这样顶撞的,你们要思想,免得疲倦灰心。
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
你们与罪恶相争,还没有抵挡到留血的地步。
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
再者,我们曾有生身的父管教我们,我们尚且敬重他,何况万灵的父,我们岂不更当顺服他得生吗。
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
