But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? Should someone like me go into the temple just to save his life? No! I won’t go!”

我说：“像我这样的人岂要逃跑呢？像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢？我不进去！”

我说：“像我这样的人岂会逃跑呢？像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢？我不进去！”

我说：“像我这样的人岂会逃跑呢？像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢？我不进去！”

但我回答说：“像我这样的人岂能逃跑？岂能进入殿里保命？我决不进去。”

我回答：“像我这样的人，怎可以逃跑呢？哪有像我这样的人，进入圣殿里去保全自己的性命呢？我决不进去！”

我說：「像我這樣的人豈要逃跑呢？像我這樣的人豈能進入殿裏保全生命呢？我不進去！」

我說：「像我這樣的人豈會逃跑呢？像我這樣的人豈能進入殿裏保全生命呢？我不進去！」

我說：「像我這樣的人豈會逃跑呢？像我這樣的人豈能進入殿裏保全生命呢？我不進去！」

但我回答說：「像我這樣的人豈能逃跑？豈能進入殿裡保命？我決不進去。」

我回答：“像我這樣的人，怎可以逃跑呢？哪有像我這樣的人，進入聖殿裡去保全自己的性命呢？我決不進去！”

但是我說：『像我這樣的人能逃跑麼？像我這樣的人能進殿堂去保全性命麼？我不進去。』

我曰、如我者、豈可逃遁乎、如我者、孰願入殿以保其生乎、我不入也、

我曰、豈有我而逃遁者乎、豈有我而入殿、倖保己命者乎、是謀我不為也。

我曰、如我者、豈可逃遁乎、如我者、豈可入殿以保生命乎、豈可入殿以保生命乎或作豈可入殿而生乎我不入、

But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!”

But I said,“ Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.”

But I replied,“ Should someone in my position run from danger? Should someone in my position enter the Temple to save his life? No, I won’t do it!”

But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? How can someone like me enter the temple and live? I will not go.”

But I said,“ Should a man like me flee? And who is there like me who would go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go in.”

And I said,“ Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!”

And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? How can I enter the temple and live? I will not go.”

And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who[ is there], that,[ being] as I[ am], would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

But I replied,“ Should a man like me run away? Would someone like me flee to the temple in order to save his life? I will not go!”

I said,“ Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”

Sinners run away even when no one is chasing them. But those who do what is right are as bold as lions.

But my life might even be poured out like a drink offering on your sacrifices. I’m talking about the way you serve because you believe. Even so, I am glad. I am joyful with all of you.

I run to the Lord for safety. So how can you say to me,“ Fly away like a bird to your mountain.Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.

Their hearts are secure. They aren’t afraid. In the end they will see their enemies destroyed.

Those who do what is right will always be secure. They will be remembered forever.

He asked,“ Why are you crying? Why are you breaking my heart? I’m ready to be put in prison. In fact, I’m ready to die in Jerusalem for the Lord Jesus.”

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him,“ Leave this place. Go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”He replied,“ Go and tell that fox,‘ I will keep on driving out demons. I will keep on healing people today and tomorrow. And on the third day I will reach my goal.’In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day. Certainly no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

But my life means nothing to me. My only goal is to finish the race. I want to complete the work the Lord Jesus has given me. He wants me to tell others about the good news of God’s grace.

Look, you taught many people. You made weak hands strong.Your words helped those who had fallen down. You made shaky knees strong.Now trouble comes to you. And you are unhappy about it. It strikes you down. And you are afraid.Shouldn’t you worship God and trust in him? Shouldn’t your honest life give you hope?

So I sent messengers to them with my answer. I replied,“ I’m working on a huge project. So I can’t get away. Why should the work stop while I leave it? Why should I go down and talk with you?”

He put his own life in danger when he killed Goliath. The Lord used him to win a great battle for the whole nation of Israel. When you saw it, you were glad. So why would you do anything to harm a man like David? He isn’t guilty of doing anything to harm you. Why would you want to kill him without any reason?”

Dead flies give perfume a bad smell. And a little foolishness can make a lot of wisdom useless.

All of them were trying to frighten us. They thought,“ Their hands will get too weak to do the work. So it won’t be completed.” But I prayed to God. I said,“ Make my hands stronger.”

The Lord has given the land of Canaan to the Israelites. So why would you want to keep them from going over into it?That’s what your fathers did. I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to check out the land.They went up to the Valley of Eshkol and looked at the land. Then they talked the Israelites out of entering the land the Lord had given them.

He almost died for the work of Christ. He put his life in danger to make up for the help you yourselves couldn’t give me.

Because of his faith, Moses left Egypt. It wasn’t because he was afraid of the king’s anger. He didn’t let anything stop him. That’s because he saw the God who can’t be seen.

And Saul had agreed with the Sanhedrin that Stephen should die. On that day the church in Jerusalem began to be attacked and treated badly. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

He will completely destroy the beauty of their forests and rich farm lands. The Assyrian army will be like a sick person who becomes weaker and weaker.
