And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant—

谨守而不亵渎安息日、不做恶事的人有福了！”皈依耶和华的外族人啊，不要以为耶和华会把你和祂的子民分开，太监也不要觉得自己只是一棵枯树。因为耶和华说：“如果太监遵守我的安息日、做我喜悦的事、持守我的约，

他们必打听前往锡安的路，朝锡安走去。他们必凭不会被遗忘的永恒之约归附耶和华。

我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，请听我说，上帝不是拣选了穷人，使他们在信心上富足，并承受祂应许赐给那些爱祂之人的国度吗？

这个说，‘我属于耶和华’，那个说，‘我是雅各的子孙’，还有人手上写着，‘耶和华之民’，称自己属于以色列。

结果，那天约有三千人相信了他传的道，接受了洗礼。

我们既然已经在基督耶稣里，受不受割礼根本无关紧要，借着爱表现出来的信心才至关重要。

主日，我被圣灵感动，听见身后有号角般响亮的声音说：

“‘如果你们遵守安息日，在我的圣日不做私事，以安息日为乐，尊崇我的圣日，不随意而行，不妄自说话，

你要全心、全情、全意、全力爱主——你的上帝’；其次就是‘要爱邻如己’。再也没有任何诫命比这两条更重要了。”那位律法教师说：“老师，你说的对，上帝只有一位，除祂以外，别无他神。我们要全心、全意、全力爱祂，又要爱邻如己。这样做比献什么祭都好。”耶稣见他答得很有智慧，就告诉他：“你离上帝的国不远了。”此后，没人再敢问耶稣问题了。

“外族人要为你建造城墙，他们的君王要服侍你。我曾发怒击打你，如今我要施恩怜悯你。

愿所有忠贞地爱我们主耶稣基督的人都蒙恩典！

我们知道，上帝使万事互相效力，使那些爱上帝，就是上帝按自己的旨意呼召的人得益处。

异乡人要为你们牧放羊群，外族人要为你们耕种田地、照料葡萄园。

他到达后，看见上帝所赐的恩典，就万分高兴，劝勉他们要全心地忠于主。

他们这样做超过了我们的期望，并且他们按照上帝的旨意首先把自己献给主，然后献给我们。

如果有人不爱主，这人可咒可诅！主啊，我愿你来！

因为人们都在传讲你们如何接待我们，如何离弃偶像归向上帝，事奉又真又活的上帝，等候祂的儿子从天降临，就是祂使之从死里复活、救我们脱离将来可怕审判的耶稣。

在试炼中能够忍耐到底的人有福了，因为他若经得起考验，就会得到主应许赐给爱祂之人的生命冠冕。
