工作 31: 10-13, 19-20, 30-31

31:10 then let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lean over her. 31:11 For this is a crime and a very great injustice. 31:12 It is a fire devouring all the way to perdition, and it roots out all that springs forth. 31:13 If I have despised being subject to judgment with my servant or my maid, when they had any complaint against me, 31:19 if I have looked down on him who was perishing because he had no clothing and the poor without any covering, 31:20 if his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 31:30 for I have not been given my throat to sin by asking for a curse on his soul; 31:31 if the men around my tabernacle have not said: “He might give us some of his food, so that we will be filled,”

二讀

帖撒羅尼迦人 5: 1-6

5:1 But concerning dates and times, 兄弟, you do not need us to write to you. 5:2 For you yourselves thoroughly understand that the day of the Lord shall arrive much like a thief in the night. 5:3 For when they will say, “Peace and security!” then destruction will suddenly overwhelm them, like the labor pains of a woman with child, and they will not escape. 5:4 But you, 兄弟, are not in darkness, so that you would be overtaken by that day as by a thief. 5:5 For all of you are sons of light and sons of daytime; we are not of nighttime, nor of darkness. 5:6 所以, let us not sleep, as the rest do. 反而, we should be vigilant and sober.
