1、圣经中最让人感动的十句话摘要:圣经里的英文是美丽的,美国总统也喜欢在演讲中引用圣经中的英文。读一读圣经的语言,不仅让你了解了西方的历史文化,也在不知不觉中提升你的英语水平。1、 “生命在他里头,这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。 ”(新约约翰福音第 1 章)What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not o vercome it. “John 1
2、-4-5“ 这是我最经常诵读的一段经文,也是基督教神学思想的核心。这里的“光”指的是耶稣基督, “生命”指的是永生战胜死亡,获得真理。2、 “你们要进窄门,因为引到灭亡,那门是宽的,路是大的,进去的人也多;引到永生,那门是窄的,路是小的,找着的人也少。 ”(新约马太福音第7 章)Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and t
3、he road is hard that leads to life, and there are few wh o find it. “Matthew 7-13-14“ 这是耶稣“登山宝训”中最短的一段,但却是整个新教精神的核心。对于清教徒而言,人生就意味着无尽艰险,就意味着走窄门。3、 “爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈;爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂,不作害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶,不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理;凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐;爱是永不止息。 ”(新约哥林多前书第 1 3 章)Love is patient; love is kind; love is n
4、ot envious pr boastful or arroga nt or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or re sentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. I t bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never end s. 基督教是“爱的宗教” ,这就是使徒保罗对爱的诠释。从古到今不知有多少人因这段话而皈依基督教
5、,可见“爱是无可比的” 。4、 “死啊,你得胜的权势在哪里?死啊,你的毒钩在哪里?死的毒钩就是罪,罪的权势就是律法。感谢上帝,使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。 ”(新约哥林多前书第 15 章) Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The stin g of death is sin, and. The power of sin is the law. But thanks be to Go d, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ
6、. 使徒保罗用优美的语言阐明了基督教的脉络:原罪与堕落,牺牲与救赎,胜利与永生。总体说来就是“用爱战胜死亡” 。5、 “草必枯干,花必凋残,因为耶和华的气吹在其上;百姓诚然是草。草必枯干,花必凋残;惟有我们上帝的话,必永远立定!” (旧约以赛亚书第40 章)The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows u pon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades ; but the word of our God
7、 will stand forever. 旧约的最大特点是“信念” 。这句话就是无比坚定的信念,既是相信上帝,又是相信作为上帝选民的自己。以色列人的辉煌,大半缘自信念。6、 “我知道我的救赎主活着,末了必站在地上。我这皮肉灭绝之后,我必在肉体之外得见上帝。 ”(旧约约伯记第 19 章)For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand up on the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my fles h I shall s
8、ee God. 这是约伯的信念。无论承受多么巨大的打击、多么绝望的境遇,都不可放弃希望、放弃信仰。亨德尔为此句作的咏叹调也极为感人。7、 “不可封了这书上的预言,因为日期近了。不义的,叫他仍旧不义;污秽的,叫他仍旧污秽;为义的,叫他仍旧为义;圣洁的,叫他仍旧圣洁。 ”(新约启示录第 22 章)Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is n ear. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the rig
9、hteous still do right, and the holy still be holy. 我最开始就是看了启示录才倾向于基督教的。 启示录中有很多让人不能不动容的话,这句只是其中代表而已。8、 “谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢?难道是患难吗?是困苦吗?是逼迫吗?是饥饿吗?是赤身露体吗?是危险吗?是刀剑吗?然而,靠着爱我们的主,在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。 ”(新约罗马书第 8 章)Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress , or persecution, or famine, o
10、r nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in al l these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 圣保罗真是无与伦比的传道者,他的讲道是如此气势磅礴且发人深省。这段话继承了旧约的信心,增加了新约的爱,完美地体现了基督教精神。9、 “我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧,乃知这也是捕风。因为多有智慧,就多有愁烦;加增知识的,就加增忧伤。 ”(旧约传道书第 1 章)And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness an
11、d folly. I pe rceived that this also is but a chasing after wind. For in much wisdom i s much vexation, and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow. 传道书是旧约中我最喜欢的篇章之一,传道者的话虽低沉消极,却又蕴涵着希望。能够用来战胜愁烦和忧伤的,只有一件事:“信仰” 。10、 “哈利路亚!因为主我们的上帝,全能者作王了。世上的国成了我主和主基督的国;他要作王,直到永永远远。万王之王,万主之主。 ” (启示录第 11、19 章)Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he wil l reign forever and ever. 这也是亨德尔歌剧弥赛亚中大合唱哈利路亚的歌词,它是至今唯一能让我多次热泪盈眶的歌曲。从这短短的几句话中我们可以看到无穷的胜利喜悦。欢呼吧!因为胜利属于我们。
