謹守而不褻瀆安息日、不做惡事的人有福了！」皈依耶和華的外族人啊，不要以為耶和華會把你和祂的子民分開，太監也不要覺得自己只是一棵枯樹。因為耶和華說：「如果太監遵守我的安息日、做我喜悅的事、持守我的約，

他們必打聽前往錫安的路，朝錫安走去。他們必憑不會被遺忘的永恆之約歸附耶和華。

我親愛的弟兄姊妹，請聽我說，上帝不是揀選了窮人，使他們在信心上富足，並承受祂應許賜給那些愛祂之人的國度嗎？

這個說，『我屬於耶和華』，那個說，『我是雅各的子孫』，還有人手上寫著，『耶和華之民』，稱自己屬於以色列。

結果，那天約有三千人相信了他傳的道，接受了洗禮。

我們既然已經在基督耶穌裡，受不受割禮根本無關緊要，藉著愛表現出來的信心才至關重要。

主日，我被聖靈感動，聽見身後有號角般響亮的聲音說：

「『如果你們遵守安息日，在我的聖日不做私事，以安息日為樂，尊崇我的聖日，不隨意而行，不妄自說話，

你要全心、全情、全意、全力愛主——你的上帝』；其次就是『要愛鄰如己』。再也沒有任何誡命比這兩條更重要了。」那位律法教師說：「老師，你說得對，上帝只有一位，除祂以外，別無他神。我們要全心、全意、全力愛祂，又要愛鄰如己。這樣做比獻什麼祭都好。」耶穌見他答得很有智慧，就告訴他：「你離上帝的國不遠了。」此後，沒人再敢問耶穌問題了。

「外族人要為你建造城牆，他們的君王要服侍你。我曾發怒擊打你，如今我要施恩憐憫你。

願所有忠貞地愛我們主耶穌基督的人都蒙恩典！

我們知道，上帝使萬事互相效力，使那些愛上帝，就是上帝按自己的旨意呼召的人得益處。

異鄉人要為你們牧放羊群，外族人要為你們耕種田地、照料葡萄園。

他到達後，看見上帝所賜的恩典，就萬分高興，勸勉他們要全心地忠於主。

他們這樣做超過了我們的期望，並且他們按照上帝的旨意首先把自己獻給主，然後獻給我們。

如果有人不愛主，這人可咒可詛！主啊，我願你來！

因為人們都在傳講你們如何接待我們，如何離棄偶像歸向上帝，事奉又真又活的上帝，等候祂的兒子從天降臨，就是祂使之從死裡復活、救我們脫離將來可怕審判的耶穌。

在試煉中能夠忍耐到底的人有福了，因為他若經得起考驗，就會得到主應許賜給愛祂之人的生命冠冕。
