5. 提摩太后书 2 Tim 2
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels
of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay,
some for honor and some for
dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses
himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for
honor, sanctified and useful for the Master,
prepared for every good work.
6. 提摩太后书 2 Tim 2
The Message version
在一个精心布置的厨房里,哪不仅有水晶酒杯
和银盘,但也有废罐和堆肥桶-某些容器用
来放一些精致美食,其他别成为垃圾。让我
们成为合住使用的容器和任何类型的礼物为
祂的客人带来祝福。
7. 提摩太后书 2 Tim 2
The Message version
20-21 In a well-furnished kitchen there are not
only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste
cans and compost buckets—some containers
used to serve fine meals, others to take out the
garbage. Become the kind of container God can
use to present any and every kind of gift to his
guests for their blessing.
18. 马太福音 Matt 23
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside
they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.[f] 26 Blind
Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish,
that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear
beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of
dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you
also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you
are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
38. 耶利米书 Jeremiah 1:5
5“ 我使你在母腹中成形以先,就认识你;你
还未出母胎,我已把你分别为圣,立你作
列国的先知。”
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart; I
appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
44. 使徒行传
Acts 9:15
15 主对他说:“你去吧!这人是我拣选的器皿,
为要把我的名传给外族人、君王和以色列人
。 16 我要指示他,为了我的名他必须受许
多的苦。”
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen
vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles,
kings, and the children of Israel. 16 For I will
show him how many things he must suffer for
My name’s sake.”
