28. 你们既然和基督一同 活了,就应当追求天上的事,那里有坐
在上帝右边的基督。 你们要思想天上的事,而不是地上的
事,因为你们的旧生命已经死了,你们的新生命与基督一同藏
在上帝里面。
歌罗西书 3:1-3
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are
above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your
minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For
you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:1-3

yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19-21
不要为自己在世上积攒财宝,世上有虫子 ,会生锈,

30. “如果有人要跟从我,就应当舍己,背起他的十字架跟从我。
因为想救自己生命的,必失去生命;但为了我和福音而失去生
命的,必得到生命。 人就是赚得全世界,却丧失自己的生
命,又有什么益处 ? 他还能用什么换回生命 ?
⻢马可福⾳音 8:34-37
And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them,“If
anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his
cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For
what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit
his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?
