活在基督里

基督徒是属神的，虽然身在世界，却不属于这世界，耶稣已将他的门徒从世界里拣选拯救了出来。基于此，新约圣经说基督徒生活在基督里。

生活在基督里，就是生活在耶稣基督的赦免里，就是生活在耶稣基督的拯救里，就是生活在耶稣基督的爱里，就是生活在耶稣基督所赐的平安、喜乐、安息，恩典、保护和永生里。简而言之，就是靠圣灵行事，生活在神的国里，而神的国在基督徒的心里。

保罗劝勉基督徒不要再像这世界里的世人那样活着，如仇恨、争竞、忌恨、恼怒、结党、纷争、嫉妒、奸淫、贪图虚名、彼此惹气等等，而是要赦免他人，爱邻舍（最直接的如配偶和孩子）如己。

路17:21 人也不得说、看哪、在这里．看哪、在那里．因为神的国就在你们心里。〔心里或作中间〕
neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

约8:23 耶稣对他们(不信耶稣的犹太人)说、你们是从下头来的、我是从上头来的．你们是属这世界的、我不是属这世界的。

约17:16 他们(耶稣的门徒)不属世界、正如我不属世界一样。
They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

罗12:2 不要效法这个世界．只要心意更新而变化、叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全可喜悦的旨意。
Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

罗14:17 因为神的国、不在乎吃喝、只在乎公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐。
for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

加5:19 情欲的事、都是显而易见的．就如奸淫、污秽、邪荡、
Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

加5:20 拜偶像、邪术、仇恨、争竞、忌恨、恼怒、结党、纷争、异端、
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

加5:21 嫉妒、〔有古卷在此有凶杀二字〕醉酒、荒宴等类、我从前告诉你们、现在又告诉你们、行这样事的人、必不能承受神的国
envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

加5:25 我们若是靠圣灵得生、就当靠圣灵行事。
If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.

弗1:3 愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神、他在基督里、曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气．
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

弗1:4 就如神从创立世界以前、在基督里拣选了我们、使我们在他面前成为圣洁、无有瑕疵．
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

弗4:17 所以我说、且在主里确实的说、你们行事、不要再像外邦人存虚妄的心行事．
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

弗4:32 并要以恩慈相待、存怜悯的心、彼此饶恕、正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

约一2:16 因为凡世界上的事、就像肉体的情欲、眼目的情欲、并今生的骄傲、都不是从父来的、乃是从世界来的。
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

约一4:4 小子们哪、你们是属神的、并且胜了他们．因为那在你们里面的、比那在世界上的更大。
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

约一5:4 因为凡从神生的、就胜过世界．使我们胜了世界的、就是我们的信心。
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

约一5:5 胜过世界的是谁呢．不是那信耶稣是神儿子的么．
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
