雅各书 2:2-10
2:2 若有一个人戴着金戒指，穿着华美衣服，进你们的会堂去，又有一个穷人，穿着肮脏衣服也进去；
2:3 你们就重看那穿华美衣服的人，说：“请坐在这好位上”，又对那穷人说：“你站在那里”，或“坐在我脚凳下边”，
2:4 这岂不是你们偏心待人，用恶意断定人吗？
2:5 我亲爱的弟兄们，请听！ 神岂不是拣选了世上的贫穷人，叫他们在信上富足，并承受他所应许给那些爱他之人的国吗？
2:6 你们反倒羞辱贫穷人！那富足人岂不是欺压你们，拉你们到公堂去吗？
2:7 他们不是亵渎你们所敬奉（注：“所敬奉”或作“被称”）的尊名吗？
2:8 经上记着说：“要爱人如己。”你们若全守这至尊的律法，才是好的；
2:9 但你们若按外貌待人，便是犯罪，被律法定为犯法的。
2:10 因为凡遵守全律法的，只在一条上跌倒，他就是犯了众条。
马太福音 25:1-13
25:1那时，天国好比十个童女拿著灯出去迎接新郎。
25:2其中有五个是愚拙的，五个是聪明的。
25:3愚拙的拿著灯，却不预备油；
25:4聪明的拿著灯，又预备油在器皿里。
25:5新郎迟延的时候，她们都打盹睡著了。
25:6半夜有人喊著说：‘新郎来了，你们出来迎接他！’
25:7那些童女就都起来收拾灯。
25:8愚拙的对聪明的说：‘请分点油给我们，因为我们的灯要灭了。’
25:9聪明的回答说：‘恐怕不够你我用的，不如你们自己到卖油的那里去买吧！’
25:10她们去买的时候，新郎到了，那预备好了的，同他进去坐席，门就关了。
25:11其余的童女随后也来了，说：‘主啊，主啊，给我们开门！’
25:12他却回答说：‘我实在告诉你们：我不认识你们。’
25:13所以，你们要警醒，因为那日子、那时辰，你们不知道。
歌罗西书 3:9-10
3:9 不要彼此说谎，因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为，
3:10 穿上了新人。这新人在知识上渐渐更新，正如造他主的形像。
James 2:2-10 (NIV)
2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,”
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
6But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
7Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?
8If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.
9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Matthew 25:1-13 (NIV)
1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9” ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11“Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’
12“But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’
13“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Colossians 3:9-10 (NIV)
9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
