On the contrary, after you die, you will be sent] {[God] will send you} down into the place where [sinful people] will be punished {he will punish sinful people} [forever. God destroyed the ancient city of] Sodom [because the people who lived in that city were extremely wicked]. If I had performed in [Sodom the miracles that I performed in your city, the people there would have turned away from their wicked behavior and] their [city] [MET] would still exist now [MTY]. But you, [although I did miracles in your city, you did not turn from your wicked behavior]. (Hadēs g86)

So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
倘若你的眼使你跌倒，剜出它來，，從你身上扔掉，為你有一隻眼進入生命，比有雙眼而被投入永火中更好。 (Geenna g1067)
If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you have only one eye. But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna g1067)

禍哉，你們經師和法利賽假善人！因為你們走遍了海洋和陸地，為使一個人成為歸依者；幾時他成了，你們反而使他成為一個比你們加倍壞的『地獄之子』。 (Geenna g1067)
“You are hypocrites, you men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees! Your punishment will be terrible, because you exert yourselves very much to get [even] one person to believe what you teach. For instance, you travel across seas and lands [to distant places] in order to do that. And [as a result], when one person [believes what you teach], you make that person much more deserving to go to hell than you yourselves [deserve to].” (Geenna g1067)
蛇啊！毒的種類，你們怎能逃避地獄的處罰？ (Geenna g1067)
[You people are so wicked] You are [as dangerous as poisonous] snakes [DOU, MET]! (You [foolishly] think that you will escape being punished in hell!/Do you [foolishly] think that you will escape when [God] punishes [wicked people] in hell?) [RHQ] (Geenna g1067)
衪在橄欖坐著的時候，門徒前來私下對衪說：「請告訴我們：什麼時候要發生這些事？ 又什麼是你來臨和時代窮盡的先兆？ (aiōn g165)

Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)

倘若你的手使你跌倒，砍掉它! (Geenna g1067)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
倘若你的腳使你跌倒，砍掉它! (Geenna g1067)

倘若你的眼使你跌倒，剜出它來! 你一隻眼進入天主的國，比有兩隻眼被投入地獄裏更好， (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!

On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)

我要指給你們，誰是你們所應害怕的：你們應當害怕殺了以後，有權柄把人投入地獄的那一位；的確，我告訴你們: 應當害怕這一位! (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
主人遂稱讚這個不義的管家，辦事精明；這些今世之子應付自己的世代，比光明之子更為精明。 (aiōn g165)
When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
我告訴你們：要用不義的錢財結交朋友，為在你們匱乏的時候，好叫他們收留你們到永遠的帳幕裏。 (aiōnios g166)

他在陰間，在痛苦中舉目一望，遠遠看見亞巴郎及他懷抱中的拉匝祿， (Hadēs g86)

但那堪得來世，及堪當由死者中復活的人，也不娶也不嫁； (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
使凡信的人，在衪內得永生。 (aiōnios g166)
As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.” (aiōnios g166)

God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son [as a sacrifice for us], in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

Those who trust in [God’s] Son have eternal life. But those who reject God’s Son will never have [eternal] life. Instead, God is angry with them [and he will surely punish them]. (aiōnios g166)
收割的人已領到工資，且為永生收集了果實，如此，撒種的和將和收割的一同喜歡。 (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
我實實在在告訴你們: 聽我的話，相信派遣我來者的，便有永生，不受審判，而已出死入生。 (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
你們查考經典，因為仔們認為其中有永生，正是這些經典為我作證； (aiōnios g166)
You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios g166)
你們不要為那可損壞的食糧勞碌，而要為那存留到永生的食糧勞碌，即人子所要賜給你們的，因為他是天主聖父所印證的。」 (aiōnios g166)
Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
因為這是我父的旨意： 凡看見子，並信從子的，必獲得永生；並且在末日，我要使他復活。」 (aiōnios g166)
[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET].

I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
誰吃我的肉，並喝我的血，必得永生，在末日，我且要叫他復活， (aiōnios g166)
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
這是從天上降下來的食糧，不像祖先吃了「瑪納」仍然死了；誰吃這食糧，必要生活直到永遠。」 (aiōn g165)
[I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)

奴隸不能永遠住在家裏，兒子卻永遠居住。 (aiōn g165)
A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
我實實在在告訴你們: 「誰如果遵行我的話, 永遠見不到死亡。」 (aiōn g165)
But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn g165)
猶太向他說: 「現在我們知道: 你附有魔鬼；亞巴郎和先知都死了；你卻說: 誰如果遵行我的話，永遠嚐不到死味。 (aiōn g165)
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn g165)
自古以來從未聽說: 有人開了生來就是瞎子的眼睛。 (aiōn g165)
No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
凡活著而信從我的人，必永遠不死。你信麼？」 (aiōn g165)
Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
愛惜自己性命的，必要喪失性命；在現世憎恨自己性命的，必要保存性命入於永生。 (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
於是群眾回答他說: 「我們從法律知道: 默西亞要存留到永遠；你怎麼說: 人子必須被舉起呢？這個人子是誰？」 (aiōn g165)
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
我知道他的命令就是永生；所以，我所講論的，全是依照父對我所說的而講論的。」 (aiōnios g166)
I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
伯多祿對他說：「不，你永遠不可給我洗腳！」耶穌回答說: 「我若不洗你，你就與我無分。」 (aiōn g165)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
我也要求父，他必會賜給你們另一位護慰者，使他永遠與你們同在； (aiōn g165)
Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
因為你賜給了他權柄掌管凡有血肉的人，是為叫他將永生賜給一切你所賜給他的人。 (aiōnios g166)
You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
永生就是：認識你，唯一的真天主，和你所派遣來的耶穌基督。 (aiōnios g166)
[The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
因為你決不會將我的靈魂遺棄在陰府，也不會讓你的聖者見到腐朽。 (Hadēs g86)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
他既預見了，就論及默西亞的復活說：『他沒有被遺棄在陰府，他的肉身也沒有見到腐朽。』 (Hadēs g86)
David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
因為他必須留在天上，直到萬物復興的時候；對此，天主藉著他古聖先知的口早已說過了。 (aiōn g165)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
保祿和巴爾納伯卻放膽地說：「天主的聖道本來先應講給你們聽，但因你們拒而不受，並斷定自己不配得永生，看，我們就要轉向外邦人， (aiōnios g166)
Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
外邦人聽了，都很喜歡，讚美主的聖道；那些被預定獲得永生的人，就都信了。 (aiōnios g166)
While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
其實，自從天主創世以來，祂那看不見的美善，即祂永遠的大能和祂為神的本性，都可憑祂所造的萬物，辨認洞察出來，以致人無可推諉。 (aïdios g126)
[People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)
因為他們將虛妄變作天主的真理，去崇拜事奉受造物，以代替造物主──祂是永遠可讚鎂的，阿們! ── (aiōn g165)
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)
凡恒心行善，尋求真榮、尊貴和不朽的人，賜以永生； (aiōnios g166)
[Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)
以致罪惡怎樣藉死亡為王，恩寵也怎樣藉正義而為王，使人藉著我們的主耶穌基督獲得永生。 (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
可是現在，你們脫離了罪惡，獲得了自由，作了天主的奴隸，你們所得的效果是使你們成聖，結局就是永生。 (aiōnios g166)
But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
因為罪惡的薪俸是死亡，但是天主的恩賜是在我們的主基督耶穌內的永生。 (aiōnios g166)
[What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
聖祖也是他們的，並且基督按血統說，也是從他們來的，祂是在萬有之上，世世代代應受讚美的天主! 阿們。 (aiōn g165)
It was our ancestors, [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose to found our nation]. And, [most importantly], it was from us Israelites that the Messiah received his human nature. [Nevertheless, most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], who is the one who controls all things! He is God, the one who is worthy that we praise him forever! This is true! (OR, Amen!) (aiōn g165)
也不要說：『誰能下到深淵裏去？』意思是說：把基督從死者中領上來。 (Abyssos g12)
“Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos g12)
因為天主把人都禁錮在背判之中，是為要憐憫眾人。 (eleēsē g1653)
God has declared and proved that all people, [both Jews and non-Jews] [MET], disobey ([him/his laws]). He has declared that because he wants to act mercifully towards us all. (eleēsē g1653)
因為萬物都出於祂，依賴祂，而歸於祂。願光榮歸於祂直至永世! 阿們! (aiōn g165)
God [is the one who created] all things. He is also the one who [sustains all things]. The reason that he created them was that [everything he created might praise] him. May [all people] honor him forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
你們不可與此世同化，反而應以新的心思變化自己，為使你們能辨別什麼是天主的旨意，什麼是善事，什麼是悅樂天主的事，什麼是全的事。 (aiōn g165)
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
願光榮歸於天主，祂有能力堅固你們，使你們合乎我所傳佈的福音，和所宣講的耶穌基督，並合乎所啟示的奧祕──這奧祕從永遠以來，就是祕而不宣的， (aiōnios g166)
As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios g166)
現今卻彰顯了，且照永恒天主的命令，藉著先知的經書，曉諭萬民，使他們服從信德。 (aiōnios g166)
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios g166)
願光榮賴耶穌基督歸於唯一全智的天主，至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
[I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
智者在哪裡？天主豈不是使這世上的智慧變成妄嗎？ (aiōn g165)
So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn g165)
我們在成全的人中，也講智慧，不過不是今世的智慧，也不是今世將要消滅的權勢者的智慧； (aiōn g165)
I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
我們所講的，乃是那隱藏的，天主奧秘的智慧，這智慧是天主在萬世之前，為使我們獲得光榮所預定的； (aiōn g165)
Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
今世有權勢的人中沒有一個認識她，因為如果他們認識了，決不至於將光榮的主釘在十字架上。 (aiōn g165)
None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
誰也不要自歟：你們中若有人在今世自以為是有智慧的人，該變為一個愚昧的人，為成一個有智慧的人， (aiōn g165)
Some among you think that you are wise because unbelievers thought you were wise previously. Stop deceiving yourselves. [If you really want to be wise, by accepting what God considers to be wise] you should [be willing to let unbelievers consider that you are] foolish [IRO]. (aiōn g165)
為此，若是食物使我的弟兄跌倒，我就永遠不吃肉，免得叫我的弟兄跌倒。 (aiōn g165)
So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn g165)
發生在他們身上的一切事，都是給人作鑑戒，並記錄了下來，為勸戒我們在這些生活在世末的人。 (aiōn g165)
All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)
『死亡！你的勝利在哪裡？死亡！你的刺在哪裡？』 (Hadēs g86)
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
因為今世的神已蒙蔽了這些不信者的心意，免得他們看見基督──天主的肖像──光榮福音的光明。 (aiōn g165)
[Satan, who is] the one [who rules] this world, controls the thoughts of those unbelievers. He prevents them from understanding the message about how wonderful Christ is. [They are not able to understand that] Jesus is like God [in every way]. (aiōn g165)
因為我們這現時輕微的苦難，正分外無比地給我們造就永遠的光榮厚報， (aiōnios g166)
[I know that] all these troubles that [happen to us in this life are] not significant and will not last forever. [When we think of] the glorious things [that God is preparing] for us [to enjoy] forever [in heaven], all [our suffering now] is not important. (aiōnios g166)
因為我們並不注目那看得見的，而只注目那看不見的；那看得見的，原是暫時的；那看不見的，才是永遠的。 (aiōnios g166)
That is why we say, “We will not continue thinking about [all the suffering that we] are experiencing now. Even though [we] cannot see [all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven], those are what we should be thinking about.” [That is how we should think], because [all these troubles] that [we(exc)] have [now] will last only a short time. But what [we will have in heaven], what [we] cannot see [now], will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
因為我們知道：如果我們這地上帳棚式的寓所拆毀了，我們必由天主獲得一所房舍，一所非人手所造，而永遠在天上的寓所。 (aiōnios g166)
We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
正如經上記載說：『衪博施濟貧，衪的仁義永世常存。』 (aiōn g165)
[Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn g165)
主耶穌的天主和父，那應受頌揚於永遠的，知道我不撒謊。 (aiōn g165)
God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn g165)
這基督按照天主我們父的旨意， 為我們的罪惡捨棄了自己，為救我們脫離此邪惡的世代。 (aiōn g165)
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
願光榮歸於天主，至於無窮之世! 阿們。 (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
那隨從肉情撒種的，必由肉情收獲敗壞； 然而那隨從聖神撒種的，必由聖神收獲永生。 (aiōnios g166)
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
超乎一切率領者、掌權者、異能者、宰制者，以及一切現世及來世的可稱呼的名號以上； (aiōn g165)
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
那時你們生活在過犯罪惡中，跟隨這世界的風氣，順從空中權能的首領，即現今在悖逆之子身上發生作用的惡神。 (aiōn g165)
You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
為將自己無限豐富的恩寵，即祂在基督耶穌內，對我們所懷有的慈惠，顯示給未來的世代。 (aiōn g165)
in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
並光照一切人，使他們明白，從創世以來，即隱藏在創造萬有的天主內的奧祕， (aiōn g165)
and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn g165)
全是按照祂在我們的主基督耶穌內所實現的永遠計畫； (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
願祂在教會內，並在基督耶穌內，獲享光榮，至於萬世萬代! 阿們。 (aiōn g165)
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
因為我們戰鬥不是對抗血和肉，而是對抗率領者，對抗掌權者，對抗這黑暗世界的霸主，對抗天界裏邪惡的鬼神。 (aiōn g165)
You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn g165)
這道理就是從世世代代以來所隱藏，而如今卻顯示給祂的聖徒的奧祕。 (aiōn g165)
[We did not know this message previously; that is, God] concealed it from [the people who lived in all] the previous ages, but he has now revealed it to his people. (aiōn g165)
這些人要受永遠喪亡之罰，遠離主的面，遠離衪威能的光榮。 (aiōnios g166)
[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)
願我們的主耶穌基督，和那愛我們，並開恩將永遠的安慰和美好的希望，賜與我們的父天主， (aiōnios g166)
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios g166)
但是我所以蒙受了憐憫，是為使基督耶穌在我這個魁首身上，顯示衪的完全堅忍，為給將來信任衪而獲永生的人一個榜樣。 (aiōnios g166)
Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
願尊榮和光榮歸於萬世的君王，那不死不滅，不可見的惟一天主，於無窮之世，阿們。 (aiōn g165)
I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
要奮力打這埸有關信仰的好仗，要爭取永生：你正是為此而蒙召，並為此在許多證人前宣示了你那美好的誓言。 (aiōnios g166)
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios g166)
那獨不死不滅，住於不可接近的光中，沒有人看見過，也不能看見的天主。願尊崇和永遠的威權歸衪。亞們。 (aiōnios g166)
He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios g166)
至於今世的富人，你要勸告他們，不要心高氣傲，也不要寄望於無常的財物，惟獨寄望於那將萬物豐富地供給我們享用的天主。 (aiōn g165)
Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn g165)
天主拯救了我們，以聖召召叫了我們，並不是按照我們的行為，而是按照衪的決意和恩寵：這恩寵是萬世以前，在基督耶穌內賜與我們的， (aiōnios g166)
[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)
為此，我為蒙召選的人忍受一切，為使他們也獲得那在基督耶穌內的救恩和永遠的光榮。 (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios g166)
德瑪斯因愛現世，已離棄我到得撒洛尼去了；克勒斯刻去了迦拉達，弟鐸去了達耳瑪提雅， (aiōn g165)
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
主要救我脫各種凶惡的事，也要我安全地進入衪天上的國。願光榮歸於衪，於無窮世之世，阿們。 (aiōn g165)
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
這虔敬是本於永生的希望，又是那不能說謊的天主，在久遠的時代以所預前許的， (aiōnios g166)
[As a result of my doing these things, his people] confidently expect that God will cause them to live forever. God, who never lies, promised before he created the world that [his people] would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
教導我們棄絕不虔敬的生活，和世俗的貪慾，有節制，公正地、虔敬地在今世生活， (aiōn g165)
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
好使我們因衪的恩寵成義．本著希望成為永生的繼承人。 (aiōnios g166)
He wanted to erase the record of our sins even though we did not deserve that, and he wanted us to receive all that [God desires] to give us. [These are the things that we] confidently expect to receive when we live [with him] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
也許他暫時離開了你，是為叫你永遠收下他， (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios g166)
但在這末期內，衪藉著自己的兒子對我們說了話。天主立了衪為萬有的承繼者，並藉著衪造成了宇宙。 (aiōn g165)
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)
可是，論到自己的兒子卻說：『天主，你的御座，永遠常存，你治國的權杖，是公正的權杖。 (aiōn g165)
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)
衪又如在另一處說：『你照默基瑟德的品位，永做司祭。』 (aiōn g165)
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
且在達到完成之後，為一切服從衪的人，成了永遠救恩的根源， (aiōnios g166)
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
及各種的洗禮，覆手，死者復活和永遠審判的道理。 (aiōnios g166)
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
並嘗過天主甘美的言語，及未來世代德能的人 (aiōn g165)
They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
作前驅的耶穌已為我們進入了那帳幔內部，按照默基瑟德品位做了永遠的大司祭。 (aiōn g165)
Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn g165)
因為有聖經給它作證：『你照默基瑟德的品位永做司祭。』 (aiōn g165)
[We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
耶穌成為司祭，卻具有誓言，因為天主向他說：『上主一發了誓，他決不再反悔；你永為司祭。』 (aiōn g165)
However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn g165)
但是耶穌因永遠長存，具有不可消逝的司祭品位。 (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
因為法律所立為大司祭的人是有弱點的；可是在法律以後，以誓言所立的聖子，卻是成全的，直到永遠。 (aiōn g165)
[We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn g165)
不是帶著公山羊和牛犢的血，而是帶著自己的血，一次而為永遠進入了天上的聖殿，獲得了永遠的救贖。 (aiōnios g166)
[When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
可況基督的血呢。衪藉著永生的神，已把自己毫無瑕疵的奉獻於天主，衪的血豈不更能潔淨我們的良心，除去死亡的行為，好去事奉生活的天主﹖ (aiōnios g166)
[So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
為此，衪作了新約的主保以衪的死亡補贖了在先前的盟約之下所有的罪過，好叫那些蒙召的人，獲得所應許的永遠的產業。 (aiōnios g166)
[By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
否則，從創世以來，衪就必須多次受苦受難了；可是現今，在今世的末期，只出現了一次，以自己作犧牲，除滅了罪過。 (aiōn g165)
[If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
因著信德，我們知道普世是藉天主的形成，看得見的是由看不見的化成的。 (aiōn g165)
It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn g165)
耶穌基督昨天、今天，直到永遠，常是一樣。 (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
賜平安的天主曾由死者中領出了那位因永遠盟約的血，作群羊偉大司牧的我們的主耶穌， (aiōnios g166)
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
願衪成全你們行各種的善工，好承行衪的旨意；願天主在我們身上，藉著耶穌基督行衪眼中所喜悅的事！ 光榮歸於衪，至於無窮之世，阿們。 (aiōn g165)
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
舌頭也像是火。舌頭，這不義的世界，安置在我們的肢體中，玷汙全身，由地獄取出火來，燃燒生命的輪子。 (Geenna g1067)
[Just like a fire damages a forest] [MET], when we say things that are evil, [we harm many people]. What we say [MTY] reveals that we are very evil. What we say contaminates/defiles everything that we think and do [PRS, MET]. [Just like a flame of fire easily] causes [the whole surrounding area] [MET] to burn, what we say [MTY] can cause [others] to want to do evil. It is the devil himself [MTY] who causes us to say evil things. (Geenna g1067)
因為你們原是賴天主生活而永存的聖言，不是由於能壞的，而是由於不能壞的種子，得以重生。 (aiōn g165)
[I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn g165)
但上主的話卻永遠常存：』這話就是傳報給你們的福音。 (aiōn g165)
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
誰若講道，就該按天主的話講；誰若服事，就該本著天主所賜的德能服事，好叫天主在一切事上，因耶穌基督而受到光榮：願光榮和權能歸於他，至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
那賜萬恩的天主，即在基督內召叫你們進入他永遠光榮的天主，在你們受少許苦痛之後，必要親自使你們更為成全、堅定、強健、穩固。 (aiōnios g166)
God is the one who kindly helps us in every [situation], and [he is the one] who chose us to share his eternal glory/greatness [in heaven] because of our relationship with Christ. [And] after you have suffered for a while [because of things that people do to harm you], he will remove your spiritual defects/imperfections, he will strengthen you [spiritually] [DOU], and he will support you [emotionally]. (aiōnios g166)
願光榮與權能歸於他，至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
的確，這樣你們便更有把握，進入我們的主和救主耶穌基督永遠的國。 (aiōnios g166)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
天主既然沒有寬免犯罪的天使，把他們投入了地獄，囚在幽暗的深坑，拘留到審判之時； (Tartaroō g5020)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
你們卻要在恩寵及認識我們的主，和救世者耶穌基督上漸漸增長。願光榮歸歸於他，從如今直到永遠之日，阿們。 (aiōn g165)
[Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn g165)
這生命已顯示出來，我們看見了，也為他作證，且把這原與父同在，且已顯示給我們的永遠的生命，傳報給你們－－ (aiōnios g166)
Because he came here [to the earth] and we have seen him, we proclaim to you clearly that the one whom we have seen is the [one who] has always lived. He was [previously] with his Father in heaven, but he came to live among us. (aiōnios g166)
這世界和它的貪慾都要過去；但那履行天主旨意的，卻永遠存在。 (aiōn g165)
The [godless people in] the world [MTY], along with what they desire, will disappear, but those who do what God wants [them to do] will live forever! You know that it is now the final period of this age when there are liars who deny that Jesus is God’s Chosen One. But you have the power of God’s Spirit and you know what is true and what is false. So continue to live according to the true message that you heard when you began to believe in Christ, in order that you may continue to live united both to God’s Son and to the Father. (aiōn g165)
這就是他給我們所預許的恩惠：即永遠的生命。 (aiōnios g166)
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios g166)
凡惱恨自己弟兄的，便是殺人的；你們也知道：凡殺人的，便沒有永遠的生命存在他內。 (aiōnios g166)
Those who hate [any of] their fellow believers, [God considers] [MET] them [to be] murderers. And you know that no murderer has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
這證據就是天主將永遠的生命賜給了我們，而這生命是在自己的子內。 (aiōnios g166)
This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios g166)
我給你們這些信天主子名字的人，寫了這些事，是為叫你們知道：你們已獲有永遠的生命。 (aiōnios g166)
I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
我們也知道天主子來了，賜給了我們理智，叫我們認識那真實者；我們確實是在那真實者內，即在他的子耶穌基督內，他即是真實的天主和永遠的生命。 (aiōnios g166)
We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
這愛的因由，就是那存在我們內，並永遠與我們同在的真理。 (aiōn g165)
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)
至於那些沒有保持自己尊位，而離棄自己居所的天使，主也用永遠的鎖鏈，把他們拘留在幽暗中，以等候那偉大日子的審判； (aïdios g126)
And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
同樣，索多瑪和哈摩辣及其附近的城市，因為也和他們一樣恣意行淫，隨從逆性的肉慾，至今受著永火的刑罰，作為鑑戒。 (aiōnios g166)
Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
像海裏的怒濤，四下飛濺他們無恥的白沫；又像出軌的行星；為他們所存留的，乃是直到永遠的黑暗的幽冥。 (aiōn g165)
They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
這樣保存你們自己常在天主的愛內，期望賴我們的主耶穌基督的仁慈，入於永生。 (aiōnios g166)
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
惟一的天主，我們的救主，藉我們的主耶穌基督，獲享光榮、尊威、主權和能力，於萬世之前，現在，至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
使我們成為國度，成為侍奉他的天主和父的司祭的那位，直到萬世萬代。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
每逢那些活物將光榮、尊威和頌謝歸於那坐在寶座上的，萬世萬代的永生者時， (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
二十四位長老就俯伏在坐於寶座的那位前，朝拜那萬世萬代的永生者，且把他們的榮冠投在寶座前說：「 (aiōn g165)
Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn g165)
此後我又聽見一切受造物，即天上、地上、地下和海中的萬物都說：「願讚頌、尊威、光榮和權力，歸於坐在寶座上的那位和羔羊，至於無窮之世！」 (aiōn g165)
I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
我就看見，出來了一匹青馬，騎馬的名叫「死亡，」陰間也跟著他；並給了他們統治世界四分之一的權柄，好藉刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫，並藉地上的野獸，去執行殺戮。 (Hadēs g86)
This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
說：「阿們。願讚頌、光榮、智慧、稱謝、尊威、權能和勇毅，全歸於我們的天主，至於無窮之世。阿們。」 (aiōn g165)
They said, “May it be so! [We(exc)] praise, thank, and honor [you], our [(exc)] God, forever! [We(exc) acknowledge] that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. (May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!)” (aiōn g165)
第五位天使一吹號角，我看見有一顆星從天上落到地上；並給了他深淵洞穴的鑰匙。 (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos g12)
他一開了深淵的洞穴，就有煙從洞穴裏冒上來，像大火窯裏的煙，太陽和天空都因那洞穴裏的煙昏暗了， (Abyssos g12)
When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos g12)
牠們以深淵的使者為牠們的王子，他的名字，希伯來文叫「阿巴冬，」希臘文叫「阿頗隆。」 (Abyssos g12)
The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos g12)
指著那創造天及天上的一切，地及地上的一切，海及海中的一切的萬世萬代的永生者起誓說：「時候不再延長了！ (aiōn g165)
and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
當他們一完成了自己作見證的職分，那從深淵中上來的巨獸，要同他們作戰，且戰勝他們，殺死他們。 (Abyssos g12)
When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
第七位天使一吹號角，天上就發出大聲音說：「世上的王權已歸屬我們的上主， 和他的基督，他要為王，至於無窮之世！」 (aiōn g165)
Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn g165)
隨後，我看見另一位天使，飛翔於天空中，拿著永恆的福音，要傳報給住在地上的人，給各邦國、各支派、各異語和各民族， (aiōnios g166)
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
他們受刑的煙向上直冒，至於萬世無窮；那些朝拜了獸和獸像的，以及凡接受了牠名字的印號的，日夜得不到安息。」 (aiōn g165)
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
那時，四個活物中的一個，給了那七位天使七個滿盛萬世萬代永生天主義怒的金盂。 (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
你所看見的那獸， 先前在而今不在，可是牠又要從深淵中上來，自趨於喪亡；地上的居民，凡他們的名字從創世之初，沒有記錄在生命冊中的，看見那先前在，而今不在，將來又在的獸，都必要驚奇。 (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos g12)
他們又重覆說：「亞肋路亞！她的煙向上直冒，至於無窮之世。」 (aiōn g165)
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
可是，那獸被捉住了，在牠面前行過奇蹟，並藉著這些奇蹟，欺騙了那些接受那獸的印號，和朝拜獸像的那位假先知，也和牠一起被捉住了；牠們兩個活活的被扔到那用硫磺燃燒的火坑裏去了。 (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
後，我看見一位天使從天降下，手持深淵的鑰匙和一條大鎖鏈。 (Abyssos g12)
I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
將牠拋到深淵裏，關起來，加上封條，免得牠再迷惑萬民，直到滿了一千年，此後應該釋放牠一個短時辰。 (Abyssos g12)
The angel threw him into the deep dark pit. He shut [the door of the pit], locked it, and sealed it [to prevent anyone from opening it]. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive [the people of the] nations [MTY], until those 1,000 years are ended. After that [time], Satan must be released {[God/God’s angel] must release Satan} for a short time [in order that he can do what God has planned]. (Abyssos g12)
The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
海洋把其中的死者交出，死亡和陰府都把其中的死者交出，人人都按照自己的行為受了審判。 (Hadēs g86)
[The people whose bodies were buried in the] sea [became alive again in order to stand before God’s throne]. Everyone who had been buried on the land (OR, Every person who was waiting in the place where dead people stay) [became alive again, in order to stand before the throne]. [God] judged each one of them according to what each one had done. (Hadēs g86)
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
也不在有黑夜了，他們不需要燈光，也不需要日光，因為上主天主要光照他們；他們必要為王，至於無窮之世。 (aiōn g165)
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
Questioned verse translations do not contain Aionian Glossary words, but may wrongly imply eternal or Hell
這是為使一切有水滋潤的樹木，不要因自己的軀幹高大而自負，不要再讓枝梢插入雲霄，免得各種有水滋潤的樹木，因高聳而自大，因為他們都要歸於死亡，降到陰間，到那些已降入深淵的人子中。 (questioned)
伊甸」的樹木中，就華麗和高大說，你相似那一棵﹖你也要同「伊甸」的樹木一起被推入陰間，在未受割損的人中，同喪身刀下的人臥在一起：這是指法郎和他所有的人民說的──吾主上主的斷語。」 (questioned)

在那裏有厄藍，她的民眾都圍繞著她的墳墓：他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的，未受割損而降入陰間的；他們曾在活人地上，散布過恐怖，所以他們與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。 (questioned)
