乔尔 2: 12- 18

2:12现在, 所以, the Lord says: “Be converted to me with your whole heart, in fasting and weeping and mourning.”
2:13And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and convert to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and merciful, patient and full of compassion, and steadfast despite ill will.
2:14Who knows if he might convert and forgive, and bequeath a blessing after him, a sacrifice and a libation to the Lord your God?
2:15在锡安吹号角, sanctify a fast, 调用程序集.
2:16Gather the people, sanctify the church, unite the elders, gather together the little ones and infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom depart from his bed, and the bride from her bridal chamber.
2:17Between the vestibule and the altar, 牧师们, the ministers of the Lord, will weep, 他们会说: “Spare, 主啊, spare your people. And do not bequeath your inheritance into disgrace, so that the nations would rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
2:18The Lord has been zealous for his land, and he has spared his people.

Second Corinthians 5: 20- 6: 2

5:20所以, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God.
5:21For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
6:1但, as a help to you, we exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
6:2因为他说: “In a favorable time, I heeded you; and on the day of salvation, I helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; 看, now is the day of salvation.

马修 6: 1- 6, 16- 18

6:1“注意, 免得你在人面前伸张正义, 为了被他们看到; 否则你就不会得到你天父的奖赏, 谁在天堂.
6:2所以, 当你施舍时, 不要选择在你面前吹号, 正如伪善者在犹太教堂和城镇中所做的那样, 以便他们能受到人们的尊敬. 阿门我告诉你, 他们已经得到了回报.
6:3但当你施舍时, 不要让你的左手知道你的右手在做什么,
6:4以便你的施舍可以是秘密的, 和你的父亲, 谁暗中看见, 会报答你的.
6:5当你祈祷时, 你不应该像那些伪君子一样, 他们喜欢站在犹太教堂和街角祈祷, 以便人们可以看到它们. 阿门我告诉你, 他们已经得到了回报.
6:6但你, 当你祈祷时, 进入你的房间, 并关上门, 私下向你的天父祈祷, 和你的父亲, 谁暗中看见, 会报答你的.
6:16当你禁食时, 不要选择变得阴郁, 像伪君子一样. 因为他们改变了自己的面貌, 以便他们的禁食对男人来说是显而易见的. 阿门我告诉你, 他们已经收到了奖励.
6:17但至于你, 当你禁食时, 抹头并洗脸,
6:18这样你的禁食就不会被男人看见, 但对你的父亲, 谁在秘密. 还有你的父亲, 谁暗中看见, 会报答你的.
