使徒行传 17:22-31
17:22 保罗站在亚略巴古当中,说:“众位雅典人哪,我看你们凡事很敬畏鬼神。
17:23 我游行的时候,观看你们所敬拜的,遇见一座坛,上面写着‘未识之神’;你们所不认识而敬拜的,我现在告诉你们。
17:24 创造宇宙和其中万物的 神,既是天地的主,就不住人手所造的殿,
17:25 也不用人手服事,好像缺少什么;自己倒将生命、气息、万物赐给万人。
17:26 他从一本造出万族的人(注:“本”有古卷作“血脉”),住在全地上,并且预先定准他们的年限和所住的疆界;
17:27 要叫他们寻求 神,或者可以揣摩而得。其实他离我们各人不远,
17:28 我们生活、动作、存留,都在乎他。就如你们作诗的,有人说:‘我们也是他所生的。’
17:29 我们既是 神所生的,就不当以为 神的神性像人用手艺、心思所雕刻的金、银、石。
17:30 世人蒙昧无知的时候, 神并不监察,如今却吩咐各处的人都要悔改。
17:31 因为他已经定了日子,要藉着他所设立的人按公义审判天下,并且叫他从死里复活,给万人作可信的凭据。”
马太福音7:1-5
7:1“你们不要论断人,免得你们被论断。
7:2因为你们怎样论断人,也必怎样被论断;你们用什么量器量给人,也必用什么量器量给你们。
7:3为什么看见你弟兄眼中有刺,却不想自己眼中有梁木呢?
7:4你自己眼中有梁木,怎能对你弟兄说‘容我去掉你眼中的刺’呢?
7:5你这假冒为善的人!先去掉自己眼中的梁木,然后才能看得清楚,去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。
申命记 19:18-20
19:18 审判官要细细地查究,若见证人果然是作假见证的,以假见证陷害弟兄,
19:19 你们就要待他如同他想要待的弟兄。这样,就把那恶从你们中间除掉。
19:20 别人听见都要害怕,就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了。
马太福音5:11-12
5:11人若因我辱骂你们,逼迫你们,捏造各样坏话毁谤你们,你们就有福了。
5:12 应当欢喜快乐,因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的。在你们以前的先知,人也是这样逼迫他们。”
罗马书 14:9-13
14:9 因此基督死了,又活了,为要作死人并活人的主。
14:10 你这个人,为什么论断弟兄呢?又为什么轻看弟兄呢?因我们都要站在 神的台前。
14:11 经上写着:
“主说:‘我凭着我的永生起誓,
万膝必向我跪拜,
万口必向我承认。’”
14:12 这样看来,我们各人必要将自己的事在 神面前说明。
14:13 所以我们不可再彼此论断,宁可定意,谁也不给弟兄放下绊脚跌人之物。
Acts 17:22-31 (NIV)
22Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.
23For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.
24“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
29“Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone–an image made by man’s design and skill.
30In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
31For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.”
Matthew 7:1-5 (NIV)
1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Deuteronomy 19:18-20 (NIV)
18The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother,
19then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you.
20The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.
Matthew 5:11-12 (NIV)
11“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Romans 14:9-13 (NIV)
9For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11It is written: ” ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’ “
12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
