FIRSTBORN SON Servant King series
Romans 8:29 羅 馬 書 Christ is the FIRSTBORN of all creation… He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. 18 Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, the FIRSTBORN from the dead. So he is first in everything. 是 首 生 的 , 在 一 切 被 造 的 以 先 。他 也 是 教 會 全 體 之 首 。 他 是 元 始 , 是 從 死 裡 首 先 復 生 的 , 使 他 可 以 在 凡 事 上 居 首 位 。
Colossians 1:15, For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 因 為 他 預 先 所 知 道 的 人 , 就 預 先 定 下 效 法 他 兒 子 的 模 樣 , 使 他 兒 子 在 許 多 弟 兄 中 作 長 子 。 Porque a los que Dios conoció de antemano, también los predestinó a ser transformados según la imagen de su Hijo, para que él sea el primogénito entre muchos hermanos.

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 因 為 我 們 眾 人 必 要 在 基 督 臺 前 顯 露 出 來 , 叫 各 人 按 著 本 身 所 行 的 , 或 善 或 惡 受 報 。 10 Porque es necesario que todos comparezcamos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno reciba lo que le corresponda, según lo bueno o malo que haya hecho mientras vivió en el cuerpo..
1 Corinthians 3:11f 歌 林 多 前 書 Corintios 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. 12 Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. 13 But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. 14 If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. 15 But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.

Galatians 5:19f - 加 拉 太 書 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:22 Live by the Spirit Walk in the Spirit Follow the Holy Spirit But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
