Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with feae and trembling.
For it is God which workth in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do all things without murmurings and disoutings:
That ye may be blameless and haemless, the sons of God, whithout rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as ligthsin world;
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man ; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart ; and they defile the man.
ST. Matthew 15:11、17-18
今日アメリカ人の友達からこんな話を聞きました・・・
人になにか話すとき・・・動機が大切だってこと・・・。
そう、両親から与えられた家訓にこんなのがあるそうです・・・
Don't say anything unless it is ・・・・・Kind , True & Necessary. ( K T N )
And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.
I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men taht humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
