他们浇在主身上的不是枉费，乃是馨香的见证，见证祂的甘甜。
670 罗十二1
所以弟兄们，我藉着神的怜恤劝你们，将身体献上，当作圣别并讨神喜悦的活祭，这是你们合理的事奉。
I exhort you therefore, brothers, through the compassions of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.
将身体献上当作活祭是我们合理的事奉。
671 林前六19
岂不知你们的身体，就是在你们里面之圣灵的殿么？这圣灵是你们从神而得的，并且你们不是属自己的，
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
672 林前六20
因为你们是重价买来的。这样，就要在你们的身体上荣耀神。
For you have been bought with a price. So then glorify God in your body.

673 出二一5
倘若奴仆明说，我爱我的主人和我的妻子儿女，不愿意自由出去；
But if the servant plainly says, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free;
爱是我们持续事奉神的先决条件。
674 林后五15
原来基督的爱困迫我们，因我们断定：一人既替众人死，众人就都死了； 并且祂替众人死，是叫那些活着的人，不再向自己活，乃向那替他们死而复活者活。
For the love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died; And He died for all that those who live may no longer live to themselves but to Him who died for them and has been raised.
基督的爱困迫我们，使我们向祂活着。（参罗十四8)
奉献的动机是神的爱。
675 腓二17
然而，即使我成为奠祭，浇奠在你们信心的祭物和供奉上，也是喜乐，并且与你们众人一同喜乐。
But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with you all.
奉献的意思乃是作祭物。
676 利一9
但燔祭牲的内脏与腿，那人要用水洗。祭司要把这一切全烧在坛上，当作燔祭，献与耶和华为怡爽香气的火祭。
But its inward parts and its legs he shall wash with water. Then the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, as a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a satisfying fragrance to Jehovah.
奉献的结果乃是被烧成灰烬。（参利六10、民二八3)
我们的奉献是献给神的怡爽香气。
677 诗一一○3
当你争战的日子，你的民要以奉献为彩饰，甘心献上自己。你的少年人对你必如清晨的甘露。
Your people will offer themselves willingly In the day of Your warfare, In the splendor of their consecration. Your young men will be to You Like the dew from the womb of the dawn.
在战争的日子，我们要甘心献上自己。（参拉三5、民六2-8)
678 罗六13
也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的兵器；倒要像从死人中活过来的人，将自己献给神，并将你们的肢体献给神作义的兵器。
Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness to God.
我们要将我们的肢体献给神作义的兵器。 （参罗六19)
679 路十四26
人到我这里来，若不恨自己的父亲、母亲、妻子、儿女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的魂生命，就不能作我的门徒。
If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and moreover, even his own soul-life, he cannot be My disciple.
我们的奉献要绝对。 （参民十四24、书十四8)
