箴言雜記
25 以下也是所羅門的箴言，是猶大王希西家的人所謄錄的。
2 將事隱祕乃神的榮耀，將事察清乃君王的榮耀。 3 天之高，地之厚，君王之心也測不透。 4 除去銀子的渣滓就有銀子出來，銀匠能以做器皿； 5 除去王面前的惡人，國位就靠公義堅立。 6 不要在王面前妄自尊大，不要在大人的位上站立。 7 寧可有人說「請你上來」，強如在你覲見的王子面前叫你退下。 8 不要冒失出去與人爭競，免得至終被他羞辱，你就不知道怎樣行了。 9 你與鄰舍爭訟，要與他一人辯論，不可洩漏人的密事， 10 恐怕聽見的人罵你，你的臭名就難以脫離。 11 一句話說得合宜，就如金蘋果在銀網子裡。 12 智慧人的勸誡在順從的人耳中，好像金耳環和精金的裝飾。 13 忠信的使者叫差他的人心裡舒暢，就如在收割時有冰雪的涼氣。 14 空誇贈送禮物的，好像無雨的風雲。 15 恆常忍耐可以勸動君王，柔和的舌頭能折斷骨頭。 16 你得了蜜嗎？只可吃夠而已，恐怕你過飽就嘔吐出來。 17 你的腳要少進鄰舍的家，恐怕他厭煩你，恨惡你。 18 作假見證陷害鄰舍的，就是大槌，是利刀，是快箭。 19 患難時倚靠不忠誠的人，好像破壞的牙，錯骨縫的腳。 20 對傷心的人唱歌，就如冷天脫衣服，又如鹼上倒醋。 21 你的仇敵若餓了，就給他飯吃；若渴了，就給他水喝。 22 因為你這樣行，就是把炭火堆在他的頭上，耶和華也必賞賜你。 23 北風生雨，讒謗人的舌頭也生怒容。 24 寧可住在房頂的角上，不在寬闊的房屋與爭吵的婦人同住。 25 有好消息從遠方來，就如拿涼水給口渴的人喝。 26 義人在惡人面前退縮，好像趟渾之泉，弄濁之井。 27 吃蜜過多是不好的，考究自己的榮耀也是可厭的。 28 人不制伏自己的心，好像毀壞的城邑沒有牆垣。
箴言雜記
26 夏天落雪，收割時下雨，都不相宜，愚昧人得尊榮，也是如此。 2 麻雀往來，燕子翻飛，這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到。 3 鞭子是為打馬，轡頭是為勒驢，刑杖是為打愚昧人的背。 4 不要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他，恐怕你與他一樣。 5 要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他，免得他自以為有智慧。 6 藉愚昧人手寄信的，是砍斷自己的腳，自受[a]損害。 7 瘸子的腳空存無用，箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。 8 將尊榮給愚昧人的，好像人把石子包在機弦裡。 9 箴言在愚昧人的口中，好像荊棘刺入醉漢的手。 10 雇愚昧人的與雇過路人的，就像射傷眾人的弓箭手。 11 愚昧人行愚妄事，行了又行，就如狗轉過來吃他所吐的。 12 你見自以為有智慧的人嗎？愚昧人比他更有指望。 13 懶惰人說：「道上有猛獅！街上有壯獅！」 14 門在樞紐轉動，懶惰人在床上也是如此。 15 懶惰人放手在盤子裡，就是向口撤回，也以為勞乏。 16 懶惰人看自己比七個善於應對的人更有智慧。 17 過路被事激動，管理不干己的爭競，好像人揪住狗耳。 18 人欺凌鄰舍，卻說：「我豈不是戲耍嗎？」他就像瘋狂的人拋擲火把、利箭與殺人的兵器[b]。 20 火缺了柴就必熄滅，無人傳舌，爭競便止息。 21 好爭競的人煽惑爭端，就如餘火加炭，火上加柴一樣。 22 傳舌人的言語如同美食，深入人的心腹。 23 火熱的嘴奸惡的心，好像銀渣包的瓦器。 24 怨恨人的用嘴粉飾，心裡卻藏著詭詐。 25 他用甜言蜜語，你不可信他，因為他心中有七樣可憎惡的。 26 他雖用詭詐遮掩自己的怨恨，他的邪惡必在會中顯露。 27 挖陷坑的，自己必掉在其中；滾石頭的，石頭必反滾在他身上。 28 虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人，諂媚的口敗壞人的事。

More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These are more proverbs(A) of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:(B)
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.(C)
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,(D)
and his throne will be established(E) through righteousness.(F)
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(G)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?(H)
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
11 Like apples[b] of gold in settings of silver(I)
is a ruling rightly given.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(J)
13 Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.(K)
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.(N)
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.(O)
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on a wound,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals(P) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(Q)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(R)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(S)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,(T)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(U)
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
26 Like snow in summer or rain(V) in harvest,
honor is not fitting for a fool.(W)
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.(X)
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,(Y)
and a rod for the backs of fools!(Z)
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.(AA)
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.(AB)
6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool(AC)
is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.
7 Like the useless legs of one who is lame
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(AD)
8 Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.(AE)
9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(AF)
10 Like an archer who wounds at random
is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,(AG)
so fools repeat their folly.(AH)
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?(AI)
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(AJ)
13 A sluggard says,(AK) “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”(AL)
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.(AM)
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(AN)
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
20 Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.(AO)
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(AP)
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(AQ)
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[c] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(AR)
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(AS)
25 Though their speech is charming,(AT) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(AU)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit(AV) will fall into it;(AW)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(AX)
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth(AY) works ruin.

Further Wise Sayings of Solomon
25 These(A) also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:
2 (B)It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth,
So the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 (C)Take away the dross from silver,
And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
And his throne will be established in (D)righteousness.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 (E)For it is better that he say to you,
“Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
8 (F)Do not go hastily to [a]court;
For what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor has put you to shame?
9 (G)Debate your case with your neighbor,
And do not disclose the secret to another;
10 Lest he who hears it expose your shame,
And [b]your reputation be ruined.
11 A word fitly (H)spoken is like apples of gold
In settings of silver.
12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.
13 (I)Like the cold of snow in time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
15 (L)By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.
16 Have you found honey?
Eat only as much as you need,
Lest you be filled with it and vomit.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house,
Lest he become weary of you and hate you.
18 (M)A man who bears false witness against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
And like vinegar on soda,
Is one who (N)sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 (O)If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,
(P)And the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings forth rain,
And (Q)a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24 (R)It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25 As cold water to a weary soul,
So is (S)good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a [c]polluted well.
27 It is not good to eat much honey;
So (T)to seek one’s own glory is not glory.
28 (U)Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.
Honor Is Not Fitting for a Fool
26 As snow in summer (V)and rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow,
So (W)a curse without cause shall not alight.
3 (X)A whip for the horse,
A bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the fool’s back.
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.
5 (Y)Answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7 Like the legs of the lame that hang limp
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling
Is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 [d]The great God who formed everything
Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.
11 (Z)As a dog returns to his own vomit,
(AA)So a fool repeats his folly.
12 (AB)Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion is in the [e]streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
So does the lazy man on his bed.
15 The (AC)lazy man buries his hand in the [f]bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 Is the man who deceives his neighbor,
And says, (AD)“I was only joking!”
20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is no [g]talebearer, strife ceases.
21 (AE)As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a [h]talebearer are like [i]tasty trifles,
And they go down into the [j]inmost body.
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25 (AF)When [k]he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27 (AG)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works (AH)ruin.

哥林多後書 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
誇獎亞該亞信徒的熱心
9 論到供給聖徒的事，我不必寫信給你們。 2 因為我知道你們樂意的心，常對馬其頓人誇獎你們，說亞該亞人預備好了，已經有一年了，並且你們的熱心激動了許多人。 3 但我打發那幾位弟兄去，要叫你們照我的話預備妥當，免得我們在這事上誇獎你們的話落了空。 4 萬一有馬其頓人與我同去，見你們沒有預備，就叫我們所確信的反成了羞愧，你們羞愧更不用說了。 5 因此，我想不得不求那幾位弟兄先到你們那裡去，把從前所應許的捐資預備妥當，就顯出你們所捐的是出於樂意，不是出於勉強。
少種少收多種多收
6 「少種的少收，多種的多收」，這話是真的。 7 各人要隨本心所酌定的，不要作難，不要勉強，因為捐得樂意的人是神所喜愛的。 8 神能將各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足，能多行各樣善事， 9 如經上所記：「他施捨錢財，賙濟貧窮，他的仁義存到永遠。」
增添仁義的果子
10 那賜種給撒種的、賜糧給人吃的，必多多加給你們種地的種子，又增添你們仁義的果子， 11 叫你們凡事富足，可以多多施捨，就藉著我們使感謝歸於神。 12 因為辦這供給的事，不但補聖徒的缺乏，而且叫許多人越發感謝神。 13 他們從這供給的事上得了憑據，知道你們承認基督、順服他的福音，多多地捐錢給他們和眾人，便將榮耀歸於神。 14 他們也因神極大的恩賜顯在你們心裡，就切切地想念你們，為你們祈禱。 15 感謝神，因他有說不盡的恩賜！
2 Corinthians 9
New International Version
2 Corinthians 9
New International Version
9 There is no need(A) for me to write to you about this service(B) to the Lord’s people.(C) 2 For I know your eagerness to help,(D) and I have been boasting(E) about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year(F) you in Achaia(G) were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. 3 But I am sending the brothers(H) in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.(I) 4 For if any Macedonians(J) come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers(K) to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift,(L) not as one grudgingly given.(M)
Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.(N) 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,(O) not reluctantly or under compulsion,(P) for God loves a cheerful giver.(Q) 8 And God is able(R) to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,(S) you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food(V) will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.(W) 11 You will be enriched(X) in every way so that you can be generous(Y) on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.(Z)
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs(AA) of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.(AB) 13 Because of the service(AC) by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God(AD) for the obedience that accompanies your confession(AE) of the gospel of Christ,(AF) and for your generosity(AG) in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God(AH) for his indescribable gift!(AI)

Administering the Gift
9 Now concerning (A)the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you; 2 for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a (B)year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority. 3 (C)Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready; 4 lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this [a]confident boasting. 5 Therefore I thought it necessary to [b]exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a [c]grudging obligation.
The Cheerful Giver
6 (D)But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows [d]bountifully will also reap [e]bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, (E)not grudgingly or of [f]necessity; for (F)God loves a cheerful giver. 8 (G)And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written:
(H)“He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now [g]may He who (I)supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, [h]supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your (J)righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, (K)which causes thanksgiving through us to God. 12 For the administration of this service not only (L)supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 13 while, through the proof of this ministry, they (M)glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal (N)sharing with them and all men, 14 and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding (O)grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God (P)for His indescribable gift!
