五、工作的五个属灵目的
V. Five Spiritual Purposes of Work
第一，为荣耀神。
First, to glorify God.
哥林多前书 10:31（和合本）
所以，你们或吃或喝，无论做什么，都要为荣耀神而行。
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NCV)
So if you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.
工作属于"无论做什么"。
Work is included in "whatever you do."
因此，
Therefore,
工作首先不是为了老板，
work is not first for your employer,
而是为了神。
but for God.
第二，为服事别人。
Second, to serve others.
马可福音 10:45（和合本）
因为人子来，并不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命，作多人的赎价。
Mark 10:45 (NCV)
The Son of Man did not come for people to serve him. He came to serve others and to give his life to save many people.
耶稣工作的方式，
The way Jesus worked,
就是服事。
was through serving.
因此，
Therefore,
我们的职业，
our occupations,
也应当成为服事他人的工具。
should become a means of serving others.
第三，供应家庭。
Third, to provide for the family.
提摩太前书 5:8（和合本）
人若不看顾亲属，就是背了真道，比不信的人还不好；不看顾自己家里的人，更是如此。
1 Timothy 5:8 (NCV)
Anyone who does not take care of his own relatives, especially his own family, has left the faith. Such a person is worse than someone who does not believe in God.
神把家庭责任，
God has entrusted family responsibility,
放在每一个家庭成员身上，
to every household,
尤其是承担家庭责任的人。
especially those responsible for providing and caring.
供应家庭，
Providing for the family,
不仅是经济责任，
is not only an economic responsibility,
也是属灵责任。
it is also a spiritual responsibility.
第四，管理神的创造。
Fourth, to steward God's creation.
创世记 1:28（和合本）
神就赐福给他们，又对他们说：要生养众多，遍满地面，治理这地……
Genesis 1:28 (NCV)
God blessed them and said to them, "Have many children and fill the earth. Rule over it..."
这里的"治理"，
The word "rule" here,
不是任意破坏，
does not mean exploiting creation,
而是忠心管理。
but faithfully stewarding it.
第五，为永恒作见证。
Fifth, to bear witness for eternity.
歌罗西书 3:23–24（和合本）
无论做什么，都要从心里做，像是给主做的，不是给人做的；因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐；你们所事奉的乃是主基督。
Colossians 3:23–24 (NCV)
