But he answered them,“ What I’ve done isn’t anything compared to what you have done. Ephraim’s grapes have been gathered. Isn’t what is left over better than all the grapes that have been gathered from Abiezer’s vines?

基甸对他们说：“我所行的岂能比你们所行的呢？以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄不强过亚比以谢所摘的葡萄吗？

基甸对他们说：“我现在所做的怎么与你们所做的相比呢？以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄不强过亚比以谢族所摘的葡萄吗？

基甸对他们说：“我现在所做的怎么与你们所做的相比呢？以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄不强过亚比以谢族所摘的葡萄吗？

基甸说：“我怎能比得上你们呢？以法莲人摘剩的葡萄岂不比我们亚比以谢族收获的葡萄更好吗？

基甸对他们说：“我所行的怎能比得上你们呢？在以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄，不是比在亚比以谢收摘的葡萄更好吗？

基甸對他們說：「我所行的豈能比你們所行的呢？以法蓮拾取剩下的葡萄不強過亞比以謝所摘的葡萄嗎？

基甸對他們說：「我現在所做的怎麼與你們所做的相比呢？以法蓮拾取剩下的葡萄不強過亞比以謝族所摘的葡萄嗎？

基甸對他們說：“我所行的怎能比得上你們呢？在以法蓮拾取剩下的葡萄，不是比在亞比以謝收摘的葡萄更好嗎？

基甸對他們說：『我現在所行的怎能比得上你們呢？以法蓮摘取剩下的葡萄、不強過亞比以謝所割取的麼？

基甸曰、我之所為、豈能比爾之所為、以法蓮所採之遺果、詎不勝於亞比以謝所斂之葡萄乎、

其田曰、我之所為、與爾所為、焉能比較、亞庇以泄之斂取葡萄、不及以法蓮之採遺實也。

基甸曰、我之所為、豈能比爾之所為乎、以法蓮人拾所遺之葡萄、豈不勝於亞比以謝族初斂之葡萄乎、

But he answered them,“ What have I accomplished compared to you? Aren’t the gleanings of Ephraim’s grapes better than the full grape harvest of Abiezer?

And he said to them,“ What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?

But Gideon replied,“ What have I accomplished compared to you? Aren’t even the leftover grapes of Ephraim’s harvest better than the entire crop of my little clan of Abiezer?

So he said to them,“ What have I done now compared to you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?

But he said to them,“ What have I done now in comparison with you? Is the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim not better than the vintage of Abiezer?

So he said to them,“ What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

And he said unto them, What have I now done in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

So he said to them,“ What have I done now compared to you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you?[ Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

He said to them,“ Now what have I accomplished compared to you? Even Ephraim’s leftover grapes are better quality than Abiezer’s harvest!

He said to them,“ What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

If any of these things has happened to you, then agree with one another. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and in the way you think and act. By doing this, you will make my joy complete.Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.

My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.Human anger doesn’t produce the holy life God wants.

Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Gideon. So Gideon blew a trumpet to send for the men of Abiezer. He told them to follow him.

Is anyone among you wise and understanding? That person should show it by living a good life. A wise person isn’t proud when they do good deeds.But suppose your hearts are jealous and bitter. Suppose you are concerned only about getting ahead. Then don’t brag about it. And don’t say no to the truth.Wisdom like this doesn’t come down from heaven. It belongs to the earth. It doesn’t come from the Holy Spirit. It comes from the devil.Are you jealous? Are you concerned only about getting ahead? Then your life will be a mess. You will be doing all kinds of evil things.But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.Those who make peace plant it like a seed. They will harvest a crop of right living.

The whole law is fulfilled by obeying this one command.“ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”( Leviticus 19:18)If you say or do things that harm one another, watch out! You could end up destroying one another.

Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud.It does not dishonor other people. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people’s wrongs.Love is not happy with evil. But it is full of joy when the truth is spoken.It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up.

The angel of the Lord came. He sat down under an oak tree in Ophrah. The tree belonged to Joash. He was from the family line of Abiezer. Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress at Ophrah. He was the son of Joash. Gideon was threshing in a winepress to hide the wheat from the Midianites.
