懶惰人哪，你去察看螞蟻的動作就可得智慧。螞蟻沒有元帥，沒有官長，沒有君王，尚且在夏天預備食物，在收割時聚斂糧食。(箴言6:6-8 和合本)
Go to the ant, you lazy one, Observe its ways and be wise,Which, having no chief, Officer, or ruler,Prepares its food in the summer And gathers its provision in the harvest.(Proverbs6:6-8 NASB)
我們爭戰的兵器本不是屬血氣的，乃是在神面前有能力，可以攻破堅固的營壘， 將各樣的計謀，各樣攔阻人認識神的那些自高之事，一概攻破了，又將人所有的心意奪回，使他都順服基督。 (哥林多後書10:4-5 和合本)
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, (2 Corinthians10:4-5 NASB)
我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裏面煩躁？應當仰望神，因他笑臉幫助我；我還要稱讚他。(詩篇42:5 和合本)
Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.(Psalms42:5 NASB)
撒種之人所撒的就是道。 那撒在路旁的，就是人聽了道，撒但立刻來，把撒在他心裏的道奪了去。 那撒在石頭地上的，就是人聽了道，立刻歡喜領受， 但他心裏沒有根，不過是暫時的，及至為道遭了患難，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了。 還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道， 後來有世上的思慮、錢財的迷惑，和別樣的私慾進來，把道擠住了，就不能結實。 那撒在好地上的，就是人聽道，又領受，並且結實，有三十倍的，有六十倍的，有一百倍的。」(馬可福音4:14-20 和合本)
The sower sows the word.These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.And in a similar way these are the ones sown with seed on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;and yet they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution occurs because of the word, immediately they fall away.And others are the ones sown with seed among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things enter and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.And those are the ones sown with seed on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much. ”(Mark4:14-20 NASB)
我曾耐性等候耶和華；他垂聽我的呼求。他從禍坑裏，從淤泥中，把我拉上來，使我的腳立在磐石上，使我腳步穩當。他使我口唱新歌，就是讚美我們神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕，並要倚靠耶和華。那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的，這人便為有福！(詩篇40:1-4 和合本)
I waited patiently for the LORD ; And He reached down to me and heard my cry.He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud; And He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm.He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the LORD .How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who become involved in falsehood.(Psalms40:1-4 NASB)
因為淫婦的嘴滴下蜂蜜；她的口比油更滑，...你所行的道要離她遠，不可就近她的房門，恐怕將你的尊榮給別人，將你的歲月給殘忍的人；恐怕外人滿得你的力量，你勞碌得來的，歸入外人的家；終久，你皮肉和身體消毀，你就悲歎，(箴言5:3,8-11 和合本)
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, And her speech is smoother than oil;...Keep your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house,Otherwise you will give your vigor to others, And your years to the cruel one;And strangers will be filled with your strength, And your hard-earned possessions will go to the house of a foreigner;And you will groan in the end, When your flesh and your body are consumed;(Proverbs5:3,8-11 NASB)
