<15> You have known the Holy Scriptures since you
were a child. These Scriptures are able to make
you wise. And that wisdom leads to salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given
by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and
for showing people what is wrong in their lives. It is
useful for correcting faults and teaching the right
way to live. Using the Scriptures, those who serve
God will be prepared and will have everything they
need to do every good work. (II Timothy 3:15-17)
提后：3:15-17

教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义、都是有
益的． 3:17叫属 神的人得以完全、预备行
各样的善事。

understand us
He is always Faithful
and focus on us
He paid the hightest
price to search for us
He enjoys being with us
and bless us forever
We are born of the Spirit
我们由神的灵而生
Joh 3:5/6： Jesus answered, "I tell you the
truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives
birth to spirit.
约 3:5/6： 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你，人
若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进 神的国。
从肉身生的就是肉身；从灵生的就是灵。

gives life. No one who comes to me will ever be
hungry. No one who believes in me will ever be
thirsty. <36> I told you before that you have seen me,
and still you don’t believe. 耶稣说、我就是生命的
粮．到我这里来的、必定不饿．信我的、永远不渴。
6：35 我就是生命的粮。你们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪、
还是死了。这是从天上降下来的粮、叫人吃了就不死。
我是从天上降下来生命的粮．人若吃这粮、就必永远
活着．我所要赐的粮、就是我的肉、为世人之生命所
赐的。 約6：48-51
I Peter 2: 1-3 彼前２︰1-3

So then, stop doing anything to hurt others. Don’t lie
anymore, and stop trying to fool people. Don’t be
jealous or say bad things about others. Like
newborn babies hungry for milk, you should want
the pure teaching that feeds your spirit. With it you
can grow up and be saved. You have already tasted
the goodness of the Lord. “所以你们既除去一切的
恶毒、〔或作阴毒〕诡诈、并假善、嫉妒、和一切毁
谤的话、就要爱慕那纯净的灵奶、像才生的婴孩爱慕
奶一样、叫你们因此渐长、以致得救．你们若尝过主
恩的滋味、就必如此。 ”

Jesus Story About Two Sons (Luke 15:11-32)
<11> Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
<12> The younger son said to his father, ‘Give me now the part
of your property that I am supposed to receive someday.’ So the
father divided his wealth between his two sons.
<13> “A few days later the younger son gathered up all that he
had and left. He traveled far away to another country, and there
he wasted his money living like a fool. <14> After he spent
everything he had, there was a terrible famine throughout the
country. He was hungry and needed money. <15> So he went
and got a job with one of the people who lived there. The man
sent him into the fields to feed pigs. <16> He was so hungry that
he wanted to eat the food that the pigs were eating. But no one
gave him anything.
Need of Goal for Life

“But now I must obey the Spirit and go to
Jerusalem. I don’t know what will happen to
me there. <23> I know only that in every city
the Holy Spirit tells me that troubles and even
jail wait for me. <24> I don’t care about my
own life. The most important thing is that I
finish my work. I want to finish the work that
the Lord Jesus gave me to do—to tell people
the Good News about God’s grace.

说这话、是叫他们心里充满我的喜乐。 17:14
我已将你的道赐给他们．世界又恨他们、因为
他们不属世界、正如我不属世界一样。 17:15
我不求你叫他们离开世界、只求你保守他们脱
离那恶者。〔或作脱离罪恶〕 17:16他们不属
世界、正如我不属世界一样。 17:17求你用真
理使他们成圣．你的道就是真理。
John 17:13-17:主耶稣祷告的力量

“I am coming to you now. But I pray these things
while I am still in the world. I say all this so that
these followers can have the true happiness that I
have. I want them to be completely happy. <14> I
have given them your teaching. And the world has
hated them, because they don’t belong to the world,
just as I don’t belong to the world. “I am not asking
you to take them out of the world. But I am asking
that you keep them safe from the Evil One. They
don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to
the world. Make them ready for your service through
your truth. Your teaching is truth.

Don’t let them out of your sight. Never stop
thinking about them. <22> These words are
the secret of life and health to all who

钱的价值：Value about Money:
12:15-21
Luke
<15> Then
Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard
against all kinds of greed. People do not get life from the
many things they own.”<16> Then Jesus used this story:
“There was a rich man who had some land. His land
grew a very good crop of food. <17> He thought to
himself, ‘What will I do? I have no place to keep all my
crops.’ <18> “Then he said, ‘I know what I will do. I will
tear down my barns and build bigger barns! I will put all
my wheat and good things together in my new barns.
<19> Then I can say to myself, I have many good things
stored. I have saved enough for many years. Rest, eat,
drink, and enjoy life!’ <20> “But God said to that man,
‘Foolish man! Tonight you will die. So what about the
things you prepared for yourself? Who will get those
things now?’ <21> “This is how it will be for anyone who
saves things only for himself. To God that person is not
rich.”

关于钱财的价值观：路12:15-21

于是对众人说、你们要谨慎自守、免去一切的贪
心．因为人的生命、不在乎家道丰富。 12:16就用比
喻对他们说、有一个财主、田产丰盛． 12:17自己心
里思想说、我的出产没有地方收藏、怎么办呢。
12:18又说、我要这么办．要把我的仓房拆了、另盖
更大的．在那里好收藏我一切的粮食和财物。 12:19
然后要对我的灵魂说、灵魂哪、你有许多财物积存、
可作多年的费用．只管安安逸逸的吃喝快乐吧。
12:20神却对他说、无知的人哪、今夜必要你的灵
魂．你所预备的、要归谁呢。 12:21凡为自己积财、
在 神面前却不富足的、也是这样。
I King 17：7-16 Widow and Elijah
寡妇和以利亚先知


There was no rain, so after a while the stream became dry. ...
So Elijah went to Zarephath. ... Elijah said to her, “Would you
bring me a small cup water to drink?” As she was going to get
the water, Elijah said, “Bring me a piece of bread too, please.”
The woman answered, “I promise you, before the Lord your God,
that I have nothing but a handful of flour in a jar and a little bit of
olive oil in a jug. I came here to gather a few pieces of wood for a
fire to cook our last meal. My son and I will eat it and then die
from hunger.” Elijah said to the woman, “Don’t worry. Go home
and cook your food as you said. But first make a small piece
of bread from the flour that you have and bring it to me, and
then cook some for yourself and your son. The Lord, the God of
Israel, says, ‘That jar of flour will never be empty and the jug will
always have oil in it. This will continue until the day the Lord
sends rain to the land.’” So the woman went home and did what
Elijah told her to do. And Elijah, the woman, and her son had
enough food for a long time.The jar of flour and the jug of oil
were never empty. This happened just as the Lord said through
Elijah.
穷寡妇和伊利亚先知的故事

王上17:7-16：过了些日子、溪水就干了、因为雨没有下
在地上。 耶和华的话临到他、说你起身往西顿的撒勒法
去住在那里．我已吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你。以利亚就
起身往撒勒法去、到了城门、见有一个寡妇在那里捡柴．
以利亚呼叫他、说、求你用器皿取点水来给我喝。他去取
水的时候、以利亚又呼叫他、说、也求你拿点饼来给我。
他说、我指着永生耶和华你的 神起誓、我没有饼、坛内
只有一把面、瓶里只有一点油．我现在找两根柴、回家要
为我和我儿子作饼．我们吃了、死就死吧。以利亚对他说、
不要惧怕．可以照你所说的去作吧．只要先为我作一个小
饼、拿来给我、然后为你和你的儿子作饼。 因为耶和华
以色列的 神如此说、坛内的面必不减少、瓶里的油必不
缺短、直到耶和华使雨降在地上的日子。 妇人就照以利
亚的话去行．他和他家中的人、并以利亚、吃了许多日子。
坛内的面果不减少、瓶里的油也不缺短、正如耶和华借以
利亚所说的话。

<24> By this time the boat was already a long way from shore.
Since the wind was blowing against it, the boat was having
trouble because of the waves. <25> Between three and six
o’clock in the morning, Jesus’ followers were still in the boat.
Jesus came to them. He was walking on the water. <26> When
they saw him walking on the water, it scared them. “It’s a ghost!”
they said, screaming in fear.<27> But Jesus quickly spoke to
them. He said, “Don’t worry! It’s me! Don’t be afraid.” <28> Peter
said, “Lord, if that is really you, tell me to come to you on the
water.” <29> Jesus said, “Come, Peter.” Then Peter left the boat
and walked on the water to Jesus. <30> But while Peter was
walking on the water, he saw the wind and the waves. He was
afraid and began sinking into the water. He shouted, “Lord, save
me!” <31> Then Jesus caught Peter with his hand. He said,
“Your faith is small. Why did you doubt?” <32> After Peter and
Jesus were in the boat, the wind stopped. <33> Then the
followers in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “You really are
the Son of God.”

<43> “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love
your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’ <44> But I
tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who
treat you badly. <45> If you do this, you will be
children who are truly like your Father in heaven.
He lets the sun rise for all people, whether they
are good or bad. He sends rain to those who do
right and to those who do wrong. <46> If you
love only those who love you, why should you
get a reward for that? Even the tax collectors do
that. <47> And if you are nice only to your
friends, you are no better than anyone else.
Even the people who don’t know God are nice to
their friends. <48> What I am saying is that you
must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is
perfect.
练习：马太福音5：43-48

5:43你们听见有话说、『当爱你的邻舍、恨你
的仇敌。』 5:44只是我告诉你们、要爱你们
的仇敌．为那逼迫你们的祷告。 5:45这样、
就可以作你们天父的儿子．因为他叫日头照好
人、也照歹人、降雨给义人、也给不义的人。
5:46你们若单爱那爱你们的人．有甚么赏赐
呢．就是税吏不也是这样行么。 5:47你们若
单请你弟兄的安、比人有甚么长处呢．就是外
邦人不也是这样行么。 5:48所以你们要完全、
像你们的天父完全一样。

people alive


Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert. He
was taken there to be tempted by the devil.
Jesus ate nothing for 40 days and nights.
After this, he was very hungry. The devil
came to tempt him and said, “If you are the
Son of God, tell these rocks to become
bread.” Jesus answered him, “The
Scriptures say, ‘It is not just bread that keeps
people alive. Their lives depend on what God
says.’”
