活在基督裏

基督徒是屬神的，雖然身在世界，卻不屬於這世界，耶穌已將他的門徒從世界裏揀選拯救了出來。基於此，新約聖經說基督徒生活在基督裏。

生活在基督裏，就是生活在耶穌基督的赦免裏，就是生活在耶穌基督的拯救裏，就是生活在耶穌基督的愛裏，就是生活在耶穌基督所賜的平安、喜樂、安息，恩典、保護和永生裏。簡而言之，就是靠聖靈行事，生活在神的國裏，而神的國在基督徒的心裏。

保羅勸勉基督徒不要再像這世界裏的世人那樣活著，如仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、紛爭、嫉妒、奸淫、貪圖虛名、彼此惹氣等等，而是要赦免他人，愛鄰舍（最直接的如配偶和孩子）如己。

路17:21 人也不得說、看哪、在這裏．看哪、在那裏．因為神的國就在你們心裏。〔心裏或作中間〕
neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

約8:23 耶穌對他們(不信耶穌的猶太人)說、你們是從下頭來的、我是從上頭來的．你們是屬這世界的、我不是屬這世界的。
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

約17:16 他們(耶穌的門徒)不屬世界、正如我不屬世界一樣。
They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

羅12:2 不要效法這個世界．隻要心意更新而變化、叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全可喜悅的旨意。
Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

羅14:17 因為神的國、不在乎吃喝、隻在乎公義、和平、並聖靈中的喜樂。
for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

加5:19 情欲的事、都是顯而易見的．就如奸淫、汙穢、邪蕩、
Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

加5:20 拜偶像、邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、紛爭、異端、
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

加5:21 嫉妒、〔有古卷在此有凶殺二字〕醉酒、荒宴等類、我從前告訴你們、現在又告訴你們、行這樣事的人、必不能承受神的國
envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

加5:25 我們若是靠聖靈得生、就當靠聖靈行事。
If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.

加5:26 不要貪圖虛名、彼此惹氣、互相嫉妒。
Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

弗1:3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神、他在基督裏、曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣．
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

弗1:4 就如神從創立世界以前、在基督裏揀選了我們、使我們在他麵前成為聖潔、無有瑕疵．
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

弗4:17 所以我說、且在主裏確實的說、你們行事、不要再像外邦人存虛妄的心行事．
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

弗4:32 並要以恩慈相待、存憐憫的心、彼此饒恕、正如神在基督裏饒恕了你們一樣。
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

約一2:16 因為凡世界上的事、就像肉體的情欲、眼目的情欲、並今生的驕傲、都不是從父來的、乃是從世界來的。
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

約一4:4 小子們哪、你們是屬神的、並且勝了他們．因為那在你們裏麵的、比那在世界上的更大。
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

約一5:4 因為凡從神生的、就勝過世界．使我們勝了世界的、就是我們的信心。
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

約一5:5 勝過世界的是誰呢．不是那信耶穌是神兒子的麽．
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
