好不容易把這四個小男生安頓了下來....什麼？四個？

對，四個！

媳婦兒也好不容易身體舒服了一點兒，可以給她大女兒上課了。

(Home-schooling)

可憐咱媳婦兒，昨晚才剛退燒...

寶貝，讓媽媽給妳做碗雞湯吧！

除了媳婦最喜愛的香菜末和薑絲之外，這碗鮮美的雞湯裏面，還有兩隻特為她煮的滑嫩荷包蛋...

我的媳婦兒，每天辛苦照顧我的兒子和我的5個孫兒，我要好好慰勞她。

這寶貝媳婦兒，是我的另一個女兒！

乃將那些暗眛可恥的事棄絕了...(哥林多後書4章2節)

Have you "renounced the hidden things of dishonesty"--the things that your sense of honour will not allow to come to the light？

你是否已將那些不誠實的東西棄絕掉了---那些你的榮譽感所不願讓它曝光的東西？

You can easily hide them.

你很容易就會隱瞞了它們。

Is there a thought in your heart about anyone which you would not like to be dragged into the light？ Renounce it as soon as it springs up; renounce the whole thing until there is no hidden thing of dishonesty or craftiness about you. 

在你心中，是否有任何關於任何人的想法、你不願意將它曝光？ 每當這想法一湧現，棄絕它！要把它整個棄絕掉，直到你裏面沒有任何不誠實、或狡猾的東西。

Envy, jealousy, strife--these things arise not necessarily from the disposition of sin, but from the make-up of your body which was used for this kind of thing in days gone by (see Romans 5:19 and 1 Peter 4:1-2)  Maintain a continual watchfulness so that nothing of which you would be ashamed arises in your life.
