Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort provided by love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any affection or mercy,

所以，在基督里若有什么劝勉，爱心有什么安慰，圣灵有什么交通，心中有什么慈悲怜悯，

所以，在基督里若有任何劝勉，若有任何爱心的安慰，若有任何圣灵的团契，若有任何慈悲怜悯，

所以，在基督里若有任何劝勉，若有任何爱心的安慰，若有任何圣灵的团契，若有任何慈悲怜悯，

所以，如果你们在基督里受到鼓励，得到爱的安慰，与圣灵相通，有慈悲和怜悯之心，

所以，你们在基督里若有什么鼓励，有什么爱心的安慰，有什么灵里的契通，有什么慈悲和怜悯，

所以，你们如果在基督里有任何鼓励、任何爱的安慰、任何圣灵里的契合、任何情感和怜悯，

所以，在基督裏若有甚麼勸勉，愛心有甚麼安慰，聖靈有甚麼交通，心中有甚麼慈悲憐憫，

所以你們在基督裏若有任何鼓勵、或愛心的激發，靈裏若有任何團契、或慈悲心腸和憐憫，

所以，你們如果在基督裡有任何鼓勵、任何愛的安慰、任何聖靈裡的契合、任何情感和憐憫，

若於基督有何慰藉、於愛有何撫綏、於聖神有何感通、有何仁慈矜憫、

宗基督有慰藉、懷仁愛、有撫綏、賴共享神貺、矜憫為心、

若為基督有勸勉、若因愛有慰藉、若共感於神、若有仁慈矜憫、

夫爾等既宗基督、能無所興奮乎？既懷愛德、能無所慰勉乎？既有聖神、能無感應乎？既有心肝、能無同情乎？

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

So does belonging to Christ help you in any way? Does his love comfort you at all? Do you share anything in common because of the Holy Spirit? Has Christ ever been gentle and loving toward you?

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?

If, then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

If[ there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,

Look! How good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together!

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.

My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ,

The group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but everything was held in common.

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls“ Abba! Father!”

so that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.In him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness.Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh( for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry,“ Abba, Father.”The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children.

For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow toward us, so also our comfort through Christ overflows to you.But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that you experience in your patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.You must put away every kind of bitterness, anger, wrath, quarreling, and evil, slanderous talk.Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.

And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides in him.

Every day they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, breaking bread from house to house, sharing their food with glad and humble hearts,

And the person who keeps his commandments resides in God, and God in him. Now by this we know that God resides in us: by the Spirit he has given us.

If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.My commandment is this– to love one another just as I have loved you.

Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And when you heard the word of truth( the gospel of your salvation)– when you believed in Christ– you were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit,who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by being set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for sprinkling with Jesus Christ’s blood. May grace and peace be yours in full measure!

But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and who makes known through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place.

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

And again Isaiah says,“ The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.”Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.At that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, so that your joy may be complete.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good thing you do or say.

But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart.You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, exult in Christ Jesus, and do not rely on human credentials

This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now but you believe in him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling,

“ I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory.

For God is my witness that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

“ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was righteous and devout, looking for the restoration of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

But the angel said to them,“ Do not be afraid! Listen carefully, for I proclaim to you good news that brings great joy to all the people:Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord.
