再者,你们晓得现今就是该趁早睡醒的时候,因为我们得救,现今比初信的时候更近了。And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
黑夜已深,白昼将近。我们就当脱去暗昧的行为,带上光明的兵器。The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
行事为人要端正,好像行在白昼。不可荒宴醉酒。不可好色邪荡。不可争竞嫉妒。Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
吃的人不可轻看不吃的人。不吃的人不可论断吃的人。因为神已经收纳他了。Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
你是谁,竟论断别人的仆人呢。他或站住,或跌倒,自有他的主人在。而且他也必站住。因为主能使他站住。Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
有人看这日比那日强,有人看日日都是一样。只是各人心里要意见坚定。One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
