【约14:6】 耶稣说,我就是道路,真理, 生命 。若不借着我。没有人能到父那里去。
jesus answered, 'i am the way and the truth and the life. no one comes to the father except through me.
【路20:25】 耶稣说,这样,凯撒的物当归给凯撒,神的物当归给神。
'caesar's,' they replied. he said to them, 'then give to caesar what is caesar's, and to god what is god's.'
【创2:18】 耶和华神说,那人独居不好,我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。
the lord god said, 'it is not good for the man to be alone. i will make a helper suitable for him.'
【约3:16】 神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生。
'for god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
【罗9:25】 就像神在何西阿书上说,那本来不是我子民的,我要称为我的子民。本来不是蒙爱的,我要称为蒙爱的。
as he says in hosea: 'i will call them `my people' who are not my people; and i will call her `my loved one' who is not my loved one,'
1、"生命在他里头,这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。"(《新约·约翰福音》第1章)
what has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. "john 1-4,5"
这是是基督教神学思想的核心。这里的"光"指的是耶稣基督,"生命"指的是永生--战胜死亡,获得真理。
2、"你们要进窄门,因为引到灭亡,那门是宽的,路是大的,进去的人也多;引到永生,那门是窄的,路是小的,找着的人也少。"(《新约·马太福音》第7 章)
enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. for the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few wh o find it. "matthew 7-13,14"
这是耶稣"登山宝训"中最短的一段,但却是整个新教精神的核心。对于清教徒而言, 人生 就意味着无尽艰险,就意味着走窄门。
