8. May God’s Will Be Done • “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose” (Phil 2:13) 因為你們立志行事都是神在你們心里運行 ， 為要成就他的美意。 • “because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Phil 1:5-6) 因為從頭一天直到如今，你們是同心合意地興旺福音。 我深信那在你們心裏動了善工的，必成全這工，直到耶穌基督的日子。 • “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain;” (Ps 127:1) 若不是耶和華建造房屋, 建造的人就枉然劳力; clrc
