| 經 節：『你們既是神的選民………就要穿上憐憫、恩慈……』（西三章十二節） |
歌羅西書 Colossians 3 : 8 - 17
3:8 但現在你們要棄絕這一切的事，以及惱恨、忿怒、惡毒（或作：陰毒）、毀謗，並口中污穢的言語。
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
3:9 不要彼此說謊；因你們已經脫去舊人和舊人的行為，
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
3:10 穿上了新人。這新人在知識上漸漸更新，正如造他主的形像。
And have put on the new man , which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
3:11 在此並不分希臘 人、猶太人，受割禮的、未受割禮的，化外人，西古提人，為奴的、自主的，惟有基督是包括一切，又住在各人之內。
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
3:12 所以，你們既是 神的選民，聖潔蒙愛的人，就要存（原文作穿；下同）憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐的心。
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
3:13 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. quarrel: or, complaint
3:14 在這一切之外，要存著愛心，愛心就是聯絡全德的。
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
3:15 又要叫基督的平安在你們心裡作主；你們也為此蒙召，歸為一體；且要存感謝的心。
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
3:16 當用各樣的智慧，把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡（或作：當把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡，以各樣的智慧），用詩章、頌詞、靈歌，彼此教導，互相勸戒，心被恩感，歌頌 神。
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
3:17 無論做甚麼，或說話或行事，都要奉主耶穌的名，藉著他感謝父 神。
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
從前有一位老人，無論走到甚麼地方，身邊總帶著一小瓶油的；
如果他走過一扇門，門上發出輾軋的響聲來，他就倒一些油在鉸鏈上。如果他走過一扇門，他就塗一些油在門閂上。他一生就是這樣作加油的工作，使他以後的人得著便利。
人們稱他為怪人；但是這位老人依然照舊去行－－瓶裏的油倒空了再裝.倒空了再裝……。
有 許多人，他們每干的生活頂不和諧－－充滿了軋軋聲、咒罵聲……他們需要喜樂油、溫柔油、關切油……你身上有沒有帶著油呢？你應當隨時帶著你的幫助油－－從 早到晚去分給人－－從你最近的人分起。也許你早晨分給他的油，可以夠他一日應用。把喜樂油分給沮喪的人－－對絕望的人說一句鼓勵的話－－哦，這是一件何等 美麗的事。
在人生的道路上有許多人，我們也許一生只會碰到一次；以後永遠不會冉相遇了。所以千萬不要錯過這唯一的機會啊！
多少次，一滴恩慈油，會叫一個頂硬的罪人軟化1過來。預備接受救主贖罪的恩典。一切悅耳的話，對於一個憂傷的心，就是照明黑暗的陽光。
『愛弟兄，要彼此親熱』（羅十二章十節）。－－選
羅馬書 Romans 12 : 9 - 21
12:9 愛人不可虛假；惡要厭惡，善要親近。
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
12:10 愛弟兄，要彼此親熱；恭敬人，要彼此推讓。
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; with...: or, in the love of the brethren
12:11 殷勤不可懶惰。要心裡火熱，常常服事主。
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12:12 在指望中要喜樂，在患難中要忍耐，禱告要恆切。
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
12:13 聖徒缺乏要幫補；客要一味的款待。
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
12:14 逼迫你們的，要給他們祝福；只要祝福，不可咒詛。
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
12:15 與喜樂的人要同樂；與哀哭的人要同哭。
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
12:16 要彼此同心；不要志氣高大，倒要俯就卑微的人（人：或作事）；不要自以為聰明。
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. condescend...: or, be contented with mean things
12:17 不要以惡報惡；眾人以為美的事要留心去做。
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
12:18 若是能行，總要盡力與眾人和睦。
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
12:19 親愛的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，寧可讓步，聽憑主怒（或作：讓人發怒）；因為經上記著：主說：伸冤在我；我必報應。
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
12:20 所以，你的仇敵若餓了，就給他吃，若渴了，就給他喝；因為你這樣行就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
12:21 你不可為惡所勝，反要以善勝惡。
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
