他們心地昏昧，與神所賜的生命隔絕了，Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God.

在患難的日子，奸惡隨我腳跟，四面環繞我，我何必懼怕？
那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人，
一個也無法贖自己的弟兄，也不能替他將贖價給神，
叫他長遠活著，不見朽壞；因為贖他生命的價值極貴，只可永遠罷休。
詩篇 49:5-8 (和合本)
Why should I fear when trouble comes, when enemies surround me? They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God. Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough.
Psalms 49:5‭-‬8 NLT

房屋因智慧建造，又因聰明立穩；
其中因知識充滿各樣美好寶貴的財物。
智慧人大有能力；有知識的人力上加力。
箴言 24:3-5 (和合本)
A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense. Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables. The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
Proverbs 24:3‭-‬5 NLT

所以我說，且在主裡確實的說，你們行事不要再像外邦人存虛妄的心行事。
他們心地昏昧，與神所賜的生命隔絕了，都因自己無知，心裡剛硬；
良心既然喪盡，就放縱私慾，貪行種種的污穢。
以弗所書 4:17-19 (和合本)
With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him. They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity.
Ephesians 4:17‭-‬19 NLT
