講章 
聖經 1 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. 2 The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia.
7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.
8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis.
12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there.
14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15 When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

1 : 1 起初， 神創造天地。
1 : 2 地是空虛混沌，深淵上面一片黑暗； 神的靈 運行在水面上。
1 : 3 神說：「要有光」，就有了光。
1 : 4 神看光是好的，於是 神就把光和暗分開。
1 : 5 神稱光為「晝」，稱暗為「夜」。有晚上，有早晨，這是第一日。
1 : 6 神說：「眾水之間要有穹蒼，把水和水分開。」
1 : 7 神就造了穹蒼，把穹蒼以下的水和穹蒼以上的水分開。事就這樣成了。
1 : 8 神稱穹蒼為「天」。有晚上，有早晨，這是第二日。
1 : 9 神說：「天下面的水要聚集在一處，使乾地露出來。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 10 神稱乾地為「地」，稱聚集在一起的水為「海」。 神看為好的。
1 : 11 神說：「地要長出植物，就是含種子的五穀菜蔬，和會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，在地上各從其類。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 12 於是地長出了植物：含種子的五穀菜蔬，各從其類；會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 13 有晚上，有早晨，這是第三日。
1 : 14 神說：「天上要有光體來分晝夜，讓它們作記號，定季節、日子、年份，
1 : 15 它們要在天空發光，照在地上。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 16 於是 神造了兩個大光體，大的管晝，小的管夜，又造了星辰。
1 : 17 神把這些光體擺列在天空，照在地上，
1 : 18 管理晝夜，分別光暗。 神看為好的。
1 : 19 有晚上，有早晨，這是第四日。
1 : 20 神說：「水要滋生眾多有生命之物；要有鳥飛在地面以上，天空之中。」
1 : 21 神就創造了大魚和在水裏滋生的各樣活動的生物，各從其類，以及各樣有翅膀的鳥，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 22 神就賜福給這一切，說：「要繁殖增多，充滿在海的水裏；飛鳥也要在地上增多。」
1 : 23 有晚上，有早晨，這是第五日。
1 : 24 神說：「地要生出有生命之物，各從其類，就是牲畜、爬行動物、地上的走獸，各從其類。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 25 於是 神造了地上的走獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；和地上一切的爬行動物，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 26 神說：「我們要照着我們的形像，按着我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裏的魚、天空的鳥、地上的牲畜和全地，以及地上爬的一切爬行動物。」
1 : 27 神就照着他的形像創造人，照着 神的形像創造他們；他創造了他們，有男有女。
1 : 28 神賜福給他們， 神對他們說：「要生養眾多，遍滿這地，治理它；要管理海裏的魚、天空的鳥和地上各樣活動的生物。」
1 : 29 神說：「看哪，我把全地一切含種子的五穀菜蔬和一切會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，都賜給你們；這些都可作食物。
1 : 30 至於地上一切的走獸、天空一切的飛鳥，並一切在地上爬行的，有生命的動物，我把綠色植物賜給牠們作食物。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 31 神看一切所造的，看哪，都非常好。有晚上，有早晨，這是第六日。
