你要用精金做一面牌,在上面按刻图书之法刻着归耶和华为圣(出28:36)。
非圣洁没有人能见主(来12:14)。神是个灵,所以拜他的,必须用心灵和诚实拜他(约4:24)。我在亲近我的人中要显为圣;在众民面前,我要得荣耀(利10:3)。我们都像不洁净的人,所有的义都像污秽的衣服(赛64:6)。殿的法则乃是如此:殿在山顶上,四围的全界要称为至圣(结43:12)。耶和华啊,你的殿永称为圣,是合宜的(诗93:5)。我为他们的缘故,自己分别为圣,叫他们也因真理成圣(约17:19)。我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司,就是 神的儿子耶稣。所以我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前,为要得怜恤,蒙恩惠,作随时的帮助(来4:14,16)。
Thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD. EXO. 28:36.
Holiness, without which no man can see the Lord. — God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. — But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. — I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. — Holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. — Seeing … that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us … come boldly unto the throne of grace. that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

我的福杯满溢(诗23:5)。
你们要尝尝主恩的滋味,便知道他是美善,投靠他的人有福了!耶和华的圣民哪,你们当敬畏他,因敬畏他的一无所缺。少壮狮子还缺食忍饿;但寻求耶和华的,什么好处都不缺(诗34:8-10)。他的怜悯不至断绝。每早晨这都是新的。你的诚实极其广大(耶哀3:22,23)!耶和华是我的产业,是我杯中的份;我所得的,你为我持守。用绳量给我的地界,坐落在佳美之处;我的产业实在美好(诗16:5,6)。
或世界,或生,或死,或现今的事,或将来的事,全是你们的(林前3:22)。愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父 神,他在基督里曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气(弗1:3)。我无论在什么景况都可以知足,这是我已经学会了(腓4:11)。敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了(提前6:6)。我的 神必照他荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里使你们一切所需用的都充足(腓4:19)。
My cup runneth over. PSA. 23:5.
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. — His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. — Whether … the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s. — Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. — Godliness with contentment is great gain. — My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
