我信上帝。上帝就是爱。《圣经》的真理很实在。学习圣经英语是提高英语水平的好办法。

【箴9:10】 敬畏耶和华,是智慧的开端。认识至圣者,便是聪明。

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

【箴2:6】 因为耶和华赐人智慧。知识和聪明,都由他口而出。

For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

【但12:3】 智慧人必发光,如同天上的光。那使多人归义的,必发光如星,直到永永远远。

Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

【路1:47】 My spirit is glad in God my Saviour. 我灵以神我的救主为乐。

My spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

【路1:50】 他怜悯敬畏他的人,直到世世代代。 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.

【传5:18】 This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.

我所见为善为美的,就是人在神赐他一生的日子吃喝,享受日光之下劳碌得来的好处。因为这是他的分。

【传5:19】 Every man to whom God has given money and wealth and the power to have pleasure in it and to do his part and have joy in his work: this is given by God.

神赐人资财丰富,使他能以吃用,能取自己的分,在他劳碌中喜乐。这乃是神的恩赐。

【诗60:12】 Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet. 我们倚靠神,才得施展大能,因为践踏我们敌人的就是他。

With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

【箴17:22】 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry. 喜乐的心,乃是良药。忧伤的灵,使骨枯干。

所以我们只管坦然无惧地,来到施恩的宝座前,为要得怜恤,蒙恩惠作随时的帮助。

Let us come to the throne of grace bravely, so that we may have mercy and find grace to help us when we need it. 智慧在街市上呼喊,在宽阔处发声。Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares. 惟有听从我的,必安然居住,得享安静,不怕灾祸。

Whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm. 你不要惧怕他们,因为我与你同在,要拯救你。这是耶和华说的。"Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," says the Lord. 我们的心向来等候耶和华。他是我们的帮助,我们的盾牌。We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. 耶和华是我的分,因此,我要仰望他。The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. 凡等候耶和华,心里寻求他的,耶和华必施恩给他。The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.
