人若自潔，脫離卑賤的事，就必作貴重的器皿 If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use.

在大戶人家，不但有金器銀器，也有木器瓦器；有作為貴重的，有作為卑賤的。
人若自潔，脫離卑賤的事，就必作貴重的器皿，成為聖潔，合乎主用，預備行各樣的善事。
提摩太後書 2:20-21 (和合本)
In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:20‭-‬21 NLT

他從灰塵裡抬舉貧寒人，從糞堆中提拔窮乏人，
詩篇 113:7 (和合本)
He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump.
Psalms 113:7 NLT

他們在筵席上彈琴，鼓瑟，擊鼓，吹笛，飲酒，卻不顧念耶和華的作為，也不留心他手所做的。
所以，我的百姓因無知就被擄去；他們的尊貴人甚是飢餓，群眾極其乾渴。
以賽亞書 5:12-13 (和合本)
They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties— lyre and harp, tambourine and flute— but they never think about the Lord or notice what he is doing. So my people will go into exile far away because they do not know me. Those who are great and honored will starve, and the common people will die of thirst.
Isaiah 5:12‭-‬13 NLT

耶穌叫門徒來，說：「我實在告訴你們，這窮寡婦投入庫裡的，比眾人所投的更多。
因為，他們都是自己有餘，拿出來投在裡頭；但這寡婦是自己不足，把他一切養生的都投上了。」
馬可福音 12:43-44 (和合本)
Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions.  For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.”
Mark 12:43‭-‬44 NLT
