但我回答说：“像我这样的人岂能逃跑？岂能进入殿里保命？我决不进去。”

我回答：“像我这样的人，怎可以逃跑呢？哪有像我这样的人，进入圣殿里去保全自己的性命呢？我决不进去！”

但是我說：『像我這樣的人能逃跑麼？像我這樣的人能進殿堂去保全性命麼？我不進去。』

我曰、如我者、豈可逃遁乎、如我者、孰願入殿以保其生乎、我不入也、

But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? Should someone like me go into the temple just to save his life? No! I won’t go!”

But I said,“ Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.”

But I replied,“ Should someone in my position run from danger? Should someone in my position enter the Temple to save his life? No, I won’t do it!”

But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? How can someone like me enter the temple and live? I will not go.”

But I said,“ Should a man like me flee? And who is there like me who would go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go in.”

And I said,“ Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!”

And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

But I said,“ Should a man like me run away? How can I enter the temple and live? I will not go.”

And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who[ is there], that,[ being] as I[ am], would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me:“ Flee like a bird to your mountain.For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.

Then Paul answered,“ Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him,“ Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”He replied,“ Go tell that fox,‘ I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day— for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands.Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees.But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope?

He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?”

As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

They were all trying to frighten us, thinking,“ Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.” But I prayed,“ Now strengthen my hands.”

Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them?This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them.
