My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,

My son, don’t promise to pay for what your neighbor owes. Don’t agree to pay a stranger’s bill.

不要与人击掌，不要为欠债的作保。

为外人作保的，必受亏损；恨恶击掌的，却得安稳。

谁为生人作保，就拿谁的衣服；谁为外人作保，谁就要承当。

我为他作保；你可以从我手中追讨，我若不带他回来交在你面前，我情愿永远担罪。

谁为生人作保，就拿谁的衣服；谁为外女作保，谁就承当。

他若亏负你，或欠你什么，都归在我的账上，我必偿还。这是我保罗亲笔写的。我并不用对你说，连你自己也是亏欠于我。

因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保，说：‘我若不带他回来交给父亲，我便在父亲面前永远担罪。’现在求你容仆人住下，替这童子作我主的奴仆，叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去。

“愿主拿凭据给我，自己为我作保。在你以外谁肯与我击掌呢？

既是起誓立的，耶稣就作了更美之约的中保。
