一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 撒母耳記上8:4-7 1 Samuel、加拉太書5:16 Galatians
4 以色列的長老都聚集，來到拉瑪見撒母耳， 5 對他說：「你年紀老邁了，你兒子不行你的道。現在求你為我們立一個王治理我們，像列國一樣。」 6 撒母耳不喜悅他們說立一個王治理我們，他就禱告耶和華。 7 耶和華對撒母耳說：「百姓向你說的一切話，你只管依從，因為他們不是厭棄你，乃是厭棄我，不要我做他們的王。
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” 6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
5:16你們當順著聖靈而行，就不放縱肉體的情慾了。
5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
