Psalm 19
English Standard Version
The Law of the Lord Is Perfect
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
19 (A)The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 (B)Their (C)voice[b] goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for (D)the sun,
5 (E)which comes out like (F)a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 (G)The law of the Lord is perfect,[c]
(H)reviving the soul;
(I)the testimony of the Lord is (J)sure,
(K)making wise (L)the simple;
8 (M)the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is (N)pure,
(O)enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules[d] of the Lord are (P)true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than (Q)gold,
even much (R)fine gold;
(S)sweeter also than honey
and drippings of (T)the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
(U)in keeping them there is great reward.
12 (V)Who can discern his errors?
(W)Declare me innocent from (X)hidden faults.
13 (Y)Keep back your servant also from (Z)presumptuous sins;
let them not have (AA)dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my (AB)rock and my (AC)redeemer.

詩篇 19
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
神之行彰顯其榮
19 大衛的詩，交於伶長。
1 諸天述說神的榮耀，穹蒼傳揚他的手段。
2 這日到那日發出言語，這夜到那夜傳出知識。
3 無言無語，也無聲音可聽。
4 他的量帶通遍天下，他的言語傳到地極。神在其間為太陽安設帳幕，
5 太陽如同新郎出洞房，又如勇士歡然奔路。
6 它從天這邊出來，繞到天那邊，沒有一物被隱藏不得他的熱氣。
神之言純潔真誠
7 耶和華的律法全備，能甦醒人心。耶和華的法度確定，能使愚人有智慧。
8 耶和華的訓詞正直，能快活人的心。耶和華的命令清潔，能明亮人的眼目。
9 耶和華的道理潔淨，存到永遠。耶和華的典章真實，全然公義。
10 都比金子可羨慕，且比極多的精金可羨慕；比蜜甘甜，且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。
11 況且你的僕人因此受警戒，守著這些便有大賞。
12 誰能知道自己的錯失呢？願你赦免我隱而未現的過錯。
13 求你攔阻僕人，不犯任意妄為的罪，不容這罪轄制我，我便完全，免犯大罪。
14 耶和華我的磐石，我的救贖主啊，願我口中的言語、心裡的意念在你面前蒙悅納。
Isaiah 61:1-7
English Standard Version
The Year of the Lord's Favor
61 (A)The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has (B)anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;[a]
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and (C)the opening of the prison to those who are bound;[b]
2 (D)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
(E)and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
(F)to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
(G)the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
(H)that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, (I)that he may be glorified.[c]
4 (J)They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
5 (K)Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;
foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
6 (L)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
(M)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their glory you shall boast.
7 (N)Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
they shall have everlasting joy.

論受膏者之職任
61 「主耶和華的靈在我身上，因為耶和華用膏膏我，叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人[a]，差遣我醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放、被囚的出監牢， 2 報告耶和華的恩年和我們神報仇的日子，安慰一切悲哀的人， 3 賜華冠於錫安悲哀的人代替灰塵，喜樂油代替悲哀，讚美衣代替憂傷之靈，使他們稱為公義樹，是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。」
信道者必獲顯榮
4 他們必修造已久的荒場，建立先前淒涼之處，重修歷代荒涼之城。 5 那時外人必起來牧放你們的羊群，外邦人必做你們耕種田地的，修理葡萄園的。 6 你們倒要稱為耶和華的祭司，人必稱你們為我們神的僕役。你們必吃用列國的財物，因得他們的榮耀自誇。 7 你們必得加倍的好處代替所受的羞辱，份中所得的喜樂必代替所受的凌辱；在境內必得加倍的產業，永遠之樂必歸於你們[b]。

English Standard Version
Released from the Law
7 Or do you not know, brothers[a]—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? 2 For (A)a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage.[b] 3 Accordingly, (B)she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.
4 Likewise, my brothers, (C)you also have died (D)to the law (E)through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, (F)in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work (G)in our members (H)to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the (I)new way of (J)the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.[c]

羅馬書 7:1-6
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
7 弟兄們，我現在對明白律法的人說：你們豈不曉得律法管人是在活著的時候嗎？ 2 就如女人有了丈夫，丈夫還活著，就被律法約束，丈夫若死了，就脫離了丈夫的律法。 3 所以丈夫活著，她若歸於別人，便叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了丈夫的律法，雖然歸於別人，也不是淫婦。 4 我的弟兄們，這樣說來，你們藉著基督的身體，在律法上也是死了，叫你們歸於別人，就是歸於那從死裡復活的，叫我們結果子給神。 5 因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生的惡慾就在我們肢體中發動，以致結成死亡的果子； 6 但我們既然在捆我們的律法上死了，現今就脫離了律法，叫我們服侍主，要按著心靈[a]的新樣，不按著儀文的舊樣。
