雅各逃离拉班
1雅各听见拉班的儿子们说:“雅各夺去了我们父亲的一切!他的财富都是从我们父亲那里得来的.” 2雅各发觉拉班对他的态度不如从前了. 3这时,耶和华对雅各说:“回到你的家乡和亲族那里吧!我必与你同在.” 4于是,雅各就派人把拉结和利亚叫到放羊的地方, 5对她们说:“我感到你们父亲对我不如从前了,但我父亲的上帝常与我同在. 6你们知道我是怎样尽心尽力地替你们父亲工作, 7他却欺骗我,把我的工酬更改了十次.然而,上帝不让他苦待我. 8如果他说把有斑点的羊给我当酬劳,羊群生的就都是有斑点的;如果他说把有条纹的给我,羊群生的就都是有条纹的. 9上帝就这样把你们父亲的牲畜夺过来给了我.
10“在羊群交配的季节,我梦见所有和母羊交配的公羊都是有条纹或有斑点的. 11在梦中,上帝的天使叫我,我说,‘仆人在.’ 12他说,‘拉班对你的所作所为,我都看见了.现在你留心看看,与母羊交配的公羊都是有条纹或有斑点的. 13我就是你在伯特利遇见的上帝.你在那里用油浇过柱子,向我许过愿.现在,你要动身离开这里,回到你的家乡.’”
14拉结和利亚说:“父亲的家产没有我们的份儿, 15我们早就被当作外人了,他卖了我们,把我们的身价全部吞了. 16上帝从我们父亲那里夺过来的一切财产,本来就属于我们和我们的儿女.现在你只管照上帝的吩咐做吧!”
17雅各便起来让儿女和妻子都骑上骆驼, 18带着他在巴旦·亚兰得到的所有牲畜和财物,启程去迦南的父亲以撒那里. 19那时拉班正在外面剪羊毛,拉结偷了父亲的家庭神像. 20雅各不辞而别,背着亚兰人拉班偷偷地跑了. 21他带着所有的一切渡过幼发拉底河,逃往基列山区.
拉班追赶雅各
22到了第三天,拉班才知道雅各逃走了. 23于是,他带着族人去追赶,追了七天,在基列山区追上了雅各. 24当天晚上,上帝在梦中对亚兰人拉班说:“你要当心,不可对雅各多说什么.”
25拉班追上了雅各,那时雅各在基列山搭起帐篷,拉班和他的族人也在那里搭起帐篷. 26拉班对雅各说:“你做的是什么?你欺瞒我,把我的女儿像战俘一样带走. 27你为什么要偷偷地溜走?你为什么不告诉我,我好击鼓,弹琴,唱歌欢送你? 28你甚至不让我亲吻外孙和女儿,与他们道别,你这样做真愚蠢. 29我有能力伤害你,但你父亲的上帝昨夜对我说,‘你要小心,不可对雅各多说什么.’ 30你思家心切,一定要走,但你为什么要偷走我的神像呢?”
31雅各对拉班说:“我逃跑是因为害怕你会夺回你的女儿. 32至于你的神像,你在谁身上搜出来,谁就是该死的.你可以当着众弟兄的面察看,如果在我这里有什么物件是你的,你只管拿走.”雅各不知道拉结偷走了神像.
33拉班进入雅各,利亚和两个婢女的帐篷搜查,却搜不出什么.拉班离开利亚的帐篷进入拉结的帐篷, 34那时拉结已经把神像藏在骆驼的鞍座里,自己坐在上面.拉班搜遍了整个帐篷什么也找不到. 35拉结对父亲说:“父亲,请别生气,我有月事在身,不便起来.”结果,拉班搜来搜去找不到神像.
36雅各发怒,斥责拉班说:“我做错了什么,犯了什么罪以致你对我穷追不舍? 37你搜遍我所有的东西,搜到了什么?现在就当着众弟兄的面拿出来,让他们评评理吧! 38我在你家这二十年,你的母绵羊,母山羊没有掉过胎,我也没有吃过你公羊的肉. 39我没有把被野兽撕裂的羊带来给你,而是自己赔上.无论在白昼或黑夜被偷去的,你都要我赔偿. 40我白天受尽烈日煎熬,晚上饱尝夜露寒霜,不得好睡. 41这二十年来,我为了你的两个女儿,替你工作了十四年,又用了六年才从你那里得到这些羊,你把我的工钱更改了十次. 42如果不是我父亲以撒敬畏的上帝,就是亚伯拉罕的上帝与我同在,你肯定会让我两手空空地回家.但上帝看见了我的难处和劳苦,所以在昨夜责备了你.”
雅各和拉班立约
43拉班回答说:“女儿是我的,这些孩子是我的,羊群也是我的,你的一切都是我的,我又怎会伤害我的女儿和她们的孩子呢? 44来吧,你我立约为证.” 45于是,雅各拿来一块石头,立作柱子, 46又吩咐族人去收集石头.他们把石头堆成一堆,在旁边吃喝. 47拉班称那石堆为伊迦尔·撒哈杜他31:47 “伊迦尔·撒哈杜他”意思是“做见证的石堆”.,雅各却称那石堆为迦累得31:47 “迦累得”意思是“以石堆为证”..
48拉班说:“今日,这石堆是你我之间的凭证.”因此,那地方名叫迦累得, 49又叫米斯巴,因为拉班说:“我们分手以后,愿上帝亲自鉴察我们. 50倘若你虐待我的女儿,或在她们以外另娶妻子,即使没人知道,也有上帝在你我之间做见证.”
51拉班又说:“看我在你我之间立的这石堆和石柱. 52这石堆和石柱都是凭证,我一定不会越过石堆去害你,你也不可越过石堆和石柱来害我. 53愿亚伯拉罕和拿鹤的上帝,就是他们父亲的上帝,在你我之间判断是非.”雅各便在他父亲以撒敬畏的上帝面前起誓, 54又在山上献祭,请众弟兄吃饭.饭后,他们一同在山上过夜.
55拉班清早起来,亲吻外孙和女儿,给他们祝福,然后回家去了.

1그리스도 예수님을 전파하다가 갇힌 바울과 디모데는 사랑하는 동역자 빌레몬과
2자매 압비아와 또 함께 그리스도의 군인이 된 아킵보와 그대의 집에서 모이는 교회에
3하나님 우리 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도의 은혜와 평안이 함께하기를 기도합니다.
바울의 부탁
4나는 기도할 때마다 그대를 생각하며 언제나 내 하나님께 감사하고 있습니다.
5그것은 그대가 주 예수님을 굳게 믿고 모든 성도들을 사랑한다는 말을 내가 듣고 있기 때문입니다.
6그대는 믿음의 교제를 함으로써 우리가 그리스도 안에서 가진 모든 선한 것을 충분히 이해하기를 기도합니다.
7형제여, 나는 그대가 베푼 사랑으로 성도들이 용기를 얻게 되었다는 말을 듣고 큰 기쁨과 위로를 받았습니다.
8그러므로 내가 그리스도 안에서 그대가 해야 할 일을 담대하게 명령할 수도 있습니다.
9그러나 사랑하는 마음으로 그대에게 부탁하려고 합니다. 이제 나이 많아 그리스도 예수님을 위해 죄수가 된
10나 바울은 갇힌 중에 얻은 믿음의 아들 오네시모를 위해 그대에게 부탁합니다.
11그가 전에는 그대에게 쓸모없는 사람이었으나 이제는 그대와 나에게 필요한 사람이 되었습니다.
12그래서 내 심장과 같은 그를 그대에게 돌려보냅니다.
13나는 기쁜 소식을 위해 내가 갇혀 있는 동안 그를 내 곁에 두고 그대를 대신해서 나를 돕게 하고 싶었습니다.
14그러나 나는 그대의 승낙 없이는 아무것도 하고 싶지 않습니다. 이것은 그대의 선한 일이 억지가 아니라 자발적인 것이 되도록 하기 위한 것입니다.
15그가 잠시 그대를 떠나게 된 이것으로 인해서 그가 영원히 그대를 섬기게 될지도 모릅니다.
16이제부터는 그를 종으로서가 아니라 종 이상의 사랑하는 형제로 대해 주시오. 나에게 이처럼 소중한 그는 종으로서, 주님을 믿는 형제로서 그대에게 더욱더 소중할 것입니다.
17만일 그대가 나를 친구로 여긴다면 나를 대하듯 그를 반갑게 맞아 주시오.
18그가 그대에게 손해를 끼쳤거나 빚진 것이 있으면 그것을 나에게 청구하시오. 내가 다 갚겠습니다.
19내가 직접 이 글을 써서 말하지만 내가 갚겠습니다. 내가 이런 말을 하지 말아야겠지만 그대도 나에게 빚진 것이 있음을 기억하시오.
20형제여, 내가 주님 안에서 그대를 통해 기쁨을 얻게 하고 그리스도 안에서 내 마음이 평안하게 해 주시오.
21나는 그대가 내 말에 순종하리라는 것을 확신하고 또 기대 이상으로 해 줄 것을 알고 이 글을 씁니다.
22그리고 내가 머물 방도 하나 마련해 주시오. 여러분의 기도로 내가 그 곳에 갈 수 있게 되기를 바랍니다.
23그리스도 예수님을 전파하다가 함께 갇힌 에바브라가 그대에게 문안합니다.
24또 함께 일하는 마가와 아리스다고와 데마와 누가도 그대에게 문안합니다.
25주 예수 그리스도의 은혜가 여러분과 함께하기를 기도합니다.

Pavlova prosba za věřící v Kolosech
1-2Milí bratři, zdravím vás ve jménu Ježíše Krista, kterému z Boží vůle sloužím. Spolu s Timotejem vám, věrným křest'anům v Kolosech, přejeme milost a pokoj od Boha, našeho Otce.
Víra, láska a naděje – vlastnictví skutečných křest'anů
3Kdykoliv na vás myslíme ve svých modlitbách, vždycky děkujeme Bohu, Otci našeho Pána Ježíše Krista. 4Slyšeli jsme, jak živá je vaše víra v Ježíše Krista a jak vřele milujete všechny, kteří mu patří. 5S nadějí očekáváte, co vám Bůh připravil. Slyšeli jste o tom už na začátku, když jste se poprvé setkali s radostnou zvěstí evangelia. 6Ta se šíří do celého světa a všude mění životy lidí, stejně jako tomu bylo u vás, když jste se dozvěděli o Božím slitování a sami se o pravdivosti tohoto poselství přesvědčili.
7S tím vším vás seznámil náš milý spolupracovník Epafras, který nás v této službě pro Krista věrně zastupoval. 8Od něho také víme, jak ve vás Boží Duch probouzí pravou křest'anskou lásku. 9Od té doby se za vás nepřestáváme modlit. Prosíme Boha, aby vám dal pochopit své záměry a vyzbrojil vás všestrannou duchovní znalostí i moudrostí. 10Tak bude váš život plný ušlechtilých činů, budete mu dělat radost i čest a vaše poznání Boha se bude stále prohlubovat. 11Prosíme ho, aby vás naplnil svou mocí a silou k trpělivému překonávání všech zkoušek. 12Můžete radostně děkovat Otci, který vám umožnil podílet se na slavném nebeském dědictví. 13Vždyt' on nás vysvobodil z moci tmy a uvedl do světla, kde vládne jeho milovaný Syn. 14Jeho prostřednictvím jsme byli vysvobozeni a kvůli němu nám Bůh odpustil naše viny.
Jedinečné svědectví o jedinečném Kristu
15Kristus je obrazem neviditelného Boha.
Existoval dříve, než bylo cokoliv stvořeno.
16Jen díky jemu a kvůli němu bylo stvořeno vše,
říše pozemská i nadpozemská,
svět viditelný i neviditelný s jeho bytostmi.
17V něm má všechno svůj začátek i své trvání.
18On je hlava těla, totiž své církve.
On je počátek nového života,
protože je první, kdo sám zvítězil nad smrtí.
19V něm je od věčnosti plnost všeho božství,
20takže svou obětí na kříži všemu stvoření
– hříchem od Boha odcizenému –
otevřel cestu k dokonalému smíření.
21I vy jste kdysi byli pro své špatné myšlenky a činy s Bohem znepřáteleni. 22Ale nyní Kristus obnovil mír mezi vámi a Bohem tím, že podstoupil smrt a jako své bezúhonné přátele vás k Bohu přivedl. 23Musíte ovšem stát pevně ve své víře a nesmíte se nechat připravit o naději, která pramení z tohoto radostného poselství.
Boží tajemství je zjeveno a hlásáno
24Já nyní sice trpím ve vězení, protože jsem vám zvěstoval radostné poselství o Kristu, ale z toho se jenom raduji, nebot' se tím podílím na utrpení, které církev musí pro Krista ještě podstoupit. 25Bůh mne povolal, abych se stal služebníkem církve a vyřídil vám jeho poselství. 26A tak tajemství, které bylo od počátku lidem skryto, nyní odhalil těm, kteří ho milují a pro něho žijí. 27A to tajemství zní: Kristus žije ve vás; jeho sláva bude i vaší slávou.
28Tohoto Krista hlásáme všude a všem. Poučujeme a napomínáme, jak nejlépe umíme, aby každý ve spojení s ním dosáhl dokonalosti. 29O to usiluji a zápasím; sílu mi dává Kristus, který ve mně přebývá.

生命之道
1论到从太初就已经存在的生命之道,我们曾经耳闻目睹,亲眼看过,亲手摸过. 2这生命曾显现过,我们看见了,现在做见证,向你们传扬这原本与父同在,曾向我们显现的永恒生命. 3我们把所见所闻传给你们,使你们可以与我们相交.诚然,我们是与父和祂儿子耶稣基督相交. 4我们将这些话写给你们,是要让大家都充满喜乐.
要活在光中
5我们从耶稣那里听见,现在传给你们的信息就是:上帝是光,在祂里面毫无黑暗. 6如果我们说与祂相交,却仍过着黑暗的生活,就是撒谎,没有遵行真理. 7如果我们生活在光明之中,像上帝在光明中一样,就能够彼此相交,上帝儿子耶稣的血能洗净我们一切的罪.
8如果我们说自己没有罪,便是自欺,真理就不在我们心中. 9如果我们承认自己的罪,上帝是信实公义的,必赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义. 10我们如果说自己没有犯过罪,就是把上帝看作说谎的,祂的道也不在我们心中.

Philippians 1 KJV – Filipifoɔ 1 ASCB
1Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 2Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 5For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 7Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. 8For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. 27Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 29For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Pavlova prosba za věřící v Kolosech
1-2Milí bratři, zdravím vás ve jménu Ježíše Krista, kterému z Boží vůle sloužím. Spolu s Timotejem vám, věrným křest'anům v Kolosech, přejeme milost a pokoj od Boha, našeho Otce.
Víra, láska a naděje – vlastnictví skutečných křest'anů
3Kdykoliv na vás myslíme ve svých modlitbách, vždycky děkujeme Bohu, Otci našeho Pána Ježíše Krista. 4Slyšeli jsme, jak živá je vaše víra v Ježíše Krista a jak vřele milujete všechny, kteří mu patří. 5S nadějí očekáváte, co vám Bůh připravil. Slyšeli jste o tom už na začátku, když jste se poprvé setkali s radostnou zvěstí evangelia. 6Ta se šíří do celého světa a všude mění životy lidí, stejně jako tomu bylo u vás, když jste se dozvěděli o Božím slitování a sami se o pravdivosti tohoto poselství přesvědčili.
7S tím vším vás seznámil náš milý spolupracovník Epafras, který nás v této službě pro Krista věrně zastupoval. 8Od něho také víme, jak ve vás Boží Duch probouzí pravou křest'anskou lásku. 9Od té doby se za vás nepřestáváme modlit. Prosíme Boha, aby vám dal pochopit své záměry a vyzbrojil vás všestrannou duchovní znalostí i moudrostí. 10Tak bude váš život plný ušlechtilých činů, budete mu dělat radost i čest a vaše poznání Boha se bude stále prohlubovat. 11Prosíme ho, aby vás naplnil svou mocí a silou k trpělivému překonávání všech zkoušek. 12Můžete radostně děkovat Otci, který vám umožnil podílet se na slavném nebeském dědictví. 13Vždyt' on nás vysvobodil z moci tmy a uvedl do světla, kde vládne jeho milovaný Syn. 14Jeho prostřednictvím jsme byli vysvobozeni a kvůli němu nám Bůh odpustil naše viny.
Jedinečné svědectví o jedinečném Kristu
15Kristus je obrazem neviditelného Boha.
Existoval dříve, než bylo cokoliv stvořeno.
16Jen díky jemu a kvůli němu bylo stvořeno vše,
říše pozemská i nadpozemská,
svět viditelný i neviditelný s jeho bytostmi.
17V něm má všechno svůj začátek i své trvání.
18On je hlava těla, totiž své církve.
On je počátek nového života,
protože je první, kdo sám zvítězil nad smrtí.
19V něm je od věčnosti plnost všeho božství,
20takže svou obětí na kříži všemu stvoření
– hříchem od Boha odcizenému –
otevřel cestu k dokonalému smíření.
21I vy jste kdysi byli pro své špatné myšlenky a činy s Bohem znepřáteleni. 22Ale nyní Kristus obnovil mír mezi vámi a Bohem tím, že podstoupil smrt a jako své bezúhonné přátele vás k Bohu přivedl. 23Musíte ovšem stát pevně ve své víře a nesmíte se nechat připravit o naději, která pramení z tohoto radostného poselství.
Boží tajemství je zjeveno a hlásáno
24Já nyní sice trpím ve vězení, protože jsem vám zvěstoval radostné poselství o Kristu, ale z toho se jenom raduji, nebot' se tím podílím na utrpení, které církev musí pro Krista ještě podstoupit. 25Bůh mne povolal, abych se stal služebníkem církve a vyřídil vám jeho poselství. 26A tak tajemství, které bylo od počátku lidem skryto, nyní odhalil těm, kteří ho milují a pro něho žijí. 27A to tajemství zní: Kristus žije ve vás; jeho sláva bude i vaší slávou.
28Tohoto Krista hlásáme všude a všem. Poučujeme a napomínáme, jak nejlépe umíme, aby každý ve spojení s ním dosáhl dokonalosti. 29O to usiluji a zápasím; sílu mi dává Kristus, který ve mně přebývá.
