First Reading: ROM 13:8-10

读经一（爱满全了法律。）

恭读圣保禄宗徒致罗马人书 13:8-10

 

Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

弟兄们：你们除了彼此相爱外，不可再欠人什么，因为谁爱别人，就满全了法律。

 

The commandments, You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,

其实，“不可奸淫，不可杀人，不可偷盗，不可贪恋”，

 

and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

以及其他任何诫命，都包含在这句话里：就是‘爱你的近人如你自己’。

 

Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.

爱不加害于人，所以爱就是法律的满全。

Gospel Lk 14:25-33

福音（你们当中不论是谁，如果不舍弃他的一切所有，就不能做我的门徒。）

恭读圣路加福音 14:25-33

 

Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and addressed them, "If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

那时候，有许多群众与耶稣同行，耶稣转身向他们说：“如果谁跟随我，他应该爱我，胜过爱自己的父亲、母亲、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姊妹，甚至自己的性命，否则、就不能做我的门徒。

 

Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

不论谁、若不背着自己的十字架跟随我，就不能做我的门徒。

 

Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion?

你们中间，谁愿意建造一座塔，而不先坐下筹算费用，是否有力完成呢？

 

Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, 'This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.'

免得他奠基以后，竟不能完工，所有看见的人都要讥诮他说：这个人开了工，而不能完工。

 

Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?

或者一个国王要去同别的国王交战，那有不先坐下运筹一下，能否以一万人，去抵抗对方的两万人呢？

 

But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple."

如果不能，就得趁那国王离得尚远的时候，派使者去谈判和平的条款。同样，你们中不论是谁，如不舍弃他的一切所有，不能做我的门徒。”
