Scripture reading for wedding

好像在美國這邊的婚禮常常有經文頌讀, 尤其是天主教或是基督教儀式的婚禮. 我們這次婚禮主題是圍繞在一個字 "愛" 設計的, 所以我們挑了幾節聖經中談到"愛"的性質, "愛"的真諦的經文要請一個在 OR 的姊妹頌讀, 節目安排是在 Solo "Love will be our home" 之前. 經文就是下面這幾段. 覺得這是"愛"的最高境界了! 這是要花一輩子的時間學習實踐的.

1 Peter 4:8-10

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.

彼得前書 4:8-10

最要緊的是彼此深深地相愛,因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。你們要互相款待,不發怨言。各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服事,作 神百般恩賜的好管家。

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

哥林多前書 13:4-8

愛是恆久忍耐又有恩慈愛是不嫉妒愛是不自誇不張狂不作害羞的事 不求自己的益處不輕易發怒不計算人的惡不喜歡不義只喜歡真理凡事包容凡事相信 凡事盼望凡事忍耐。愛是永不止息

Colossians 3:12-14

Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

歌羅西書 3:12-14

你們要存憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐的心。倘若這人與那人有嫌隙 總要彼此包容、彼此饒恕。主怎樣饒恕了你們,你們也要怎樣饒恕人。在這一切之外,要存著愛心;愛心就是聯絡全德的。
