【新】 你要對他們說：『主耶和華這樣宣告：我指著我的永生起誓，
我絕不喜悅惡人死亡，卻喜悅惡人離開他所行的，得以存活。
以色列家啊，回轉吧！離開你們所行的，何必死亡呢？』
【NIV】Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord,
I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked,
but rather that they turn from their ways and live.
Turn! Turn from your evil ways!
Why will you die, people of Israel?'
【新】 因為 神差他的兒子到世上來，不是要定世人的罪，而是要使世人藉著他得救。
信他的，不被定罪；不信的，罪已經定了，因為他不信 神獨生子的名。
【NIV】For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because
they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
【新】 他本來有 神的形象，卻不堅持自己與 神平等的地位，
反而倒空自己，取了奴僕的形象，成為人的樣式；
既然有人的樣子，就自甘卑微，順服至死，而且死在十字架上。
【NIV】Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something
to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death- even death on a cross!
【新】 「基督耶穌降世，為要拯救罪人。」這話是可信的，是值得完全接納的。
在罪人中我是個罪魁。可是，我竟然蒙了憐憫，
好讓基督耶穌在我這個罪魁身上，顯明他完全的忍耐，
給後來信他得永生的人作榜樣。
【NIV】Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst.
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners,
Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those
who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
【新】 神差遣他的獨生子到世上來，要使我們藉著他而活；
神的愛就在我們中間顯明瞭。不是我們愛 神，而是 神愛我們，
差遣他的兒子為我們的罪作了贖罪祭，這就是愛了。
【NIV】This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son into the world that
we might live through him. This is love:
not that we loved God, but that he loved us and
sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
