God and Me: Tolerance

上帝和我: 寬容

God wants us to live at peace with all. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.—Leviticus 19:34 In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. —Matthew 7:12

上帝要我們與眾人和睦相處。 和你們同居的外人，你們要看他如本地人一樣。——利未記19:34 所以，你們願意 人怎樣待你們，你 們也要怎樣待 人。——馬太福音 7:12

Being tolerant requires patience and forgiveness. Don’t be angry with each other, but forgive each other. If you feel someone has wronged you, forgive them. Forgive others because the Lord forgave you.—Colossians 3:12-13

寬容需要耐心和饒恕 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容、彼此饒恕。主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。——歌羅西書3:12-13

A willingness to adapt is also an important part of tolerance. Let’s try as hard as we can to do what will bring peace. —Romans 14:19 願意適應的心也是寬容的重要成分 所以，我們總要追求和睦的事。——羅馬書14:19

We should be especially tolerant of those we have a hard time getting along with. If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them!...Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High. —Luke 6:32,35

對那些很難與之相處的人，我們當格外寬容。 如果單愛那些愛你們的人，那有甚麼好處呢？罪人也愛那些愛他們的人。...你們要愛仇敵，善待他們；借出去，不要指望償還；這樣你們的賞賜就大了，你們也必作至高者的兒子。 ——路加福音6:32,35

Tolerance is part of godliness. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.—Matthew 5:9

寬容是屬神的表現 使人和睦的人有福了，因為他們必稱為上帝的兒子。——馬太福音5:9
