Elijah Taken to Heaven
2 Now when the Lord was about to (A)take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and (B)Elisha were on their way from (C)Gilgal. 2 And Elijah said to Elisha, (D)“Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, (E)“As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. 3 And (F)the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord will take away your master from over you?” And he said, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, (G)please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to (H)Jericho.” But he said, (I)“As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. 5 (J)The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord will take away your master from over you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
6 Then Elijah said to him, (K)“Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. 7 Fifty men of (L)the sons of the prophets also went and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. 8 Then Elijah (M)took his cloak and rolled it up and struck the water, (N)and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, till the two of them could go over on dry ground.
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me.” 10 And he said, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you, but if you do not see me, it shall not be so.” 11 And as they still went on and talked, behold, (O)chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it and he cried, “My father, my father! (P)The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw him no more.
Then he took hold of his own clothes (Q)and tore them in two pieces.

以利沙求感以利亞之靈加倍感己
2 耶和華要用旋風接以利亞升天的時候,以利亞與以利沙從吉甲前往。 2 以利亞對以利沙說:「耶和華差我往伯特利去,你可以在這裡等候。」以利沙說:「我指著永生的耶和華,又敢在你面前起誓:我必不離開你!」於是二人下到伯特利。 3 住伯特利的先知門徒出來見以利沙,對他說:「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你,你知道不知道?」他說:「我知道,你們不要作聲。」 4 以利亞對以利沙說:「耶和華差遣我往耶利哥去,你可以在這裡等候。」以利沙說:「我指著永生的耶和華,又敢在你面前起誓:我必不離開你!」於是二人到了耶利哥。 5 住耶利哥的先知門徒就近以利沙,對他說:「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你,你知道不知道?」他說:「我知道,你們不要作聲。」 6 以利亞對以利沙說:「耶和華差遣我往約旦河去,你可以在這裡等候。」以利沙說:「我指著永生的耶和華,又敢在你面前起誓:我必不離開你!」於是二人一同前往。 7 有先知門徒去了五十人,遠遠地站在他們對面,二人在約旦河邊站住。 8 以利亞將自己的外衣捲起來,用以打水,水就左右分開,二人走乾地而過。 9 過去之後,以利亞對以利沙說:「我未曾被接去離開你,你要我為你做什麼,只管求我。」以利沙說:「願感動你的靈加倍地感動我。」 10 以利亞說:「你所求的難得。雖然如此,我被接去離開你的時候,你若看見我,就必得著,不然必得不著了。」
以利亞乘旋風升天
11 他們正走著說話,忽有火車火馬將二人隔開,以利亞就乘旋風升天去了。 12 以利沙看見,就呼叫說:「我父啊!我父啊!以色列的戰車馬兵啊!」
以後不再見他了。於是以利沙把自己的衣服撕為兩片。

Ephesians 2:1-7
English Standard Version
By Grace Through Faith
2 (A)And you were (B)dead in the trespasses and sins 2 (C)in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following (D)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in (E)the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in (F)the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[a] and the mind, and (G)were by nature (H)children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.[b] 4 But[c] God, being (I)rich in mercy, (J)because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even (K)when we were dead in our trespasses, (L)made us alive together with Christ—(M)by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and (N)seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable (O)riches of his grace in (P)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

得救是本乎恩也因著信
2 你們死在過犯罪惡之中,他叫你們活過來。 2 那時你們在其中行事為人,隨從今世的風俗,順服空中掌權者的首領,就是現今在悖逆之子心中運行的邪靈。 3 我們從前也都在他們中間,放縱肉體的私慾,隨著肉體和心中所喜好的去行,本為可怒之子,和別人一樣。 4 然而,神既有豐富的憐憫,因他愛我們的大愛, 5 當我們死在過犯中的時候,便叫我們與基督一同活過來。你們得救是本乎恩。 6 他又叫我們與基督耶穌一同復活,一同坐在天上, 7 要將他極豐富的恩典,就是他在基督耶穌裡向我們所施的恩慈,顯明給後來的世代看。
