• 中英文逐句对照（Chinese–English Line by Line）
• ESL Level English（简单、自然、容易朗读）
• 引用和合本（CUV）+ New Century Version (NCV)
• 完整引用圣经经文（不是只写章节）
• 每段经文后附改革宗解释（双语）
• 引用《威斯敏斯特信条》《大、小要理问答》《海德堡要理问答》《比利时信条》《多特信经》等改革宗信条
• 适当引用提摩太·凯勒《工作的意义（Every Good Endeavor）》以及改革宗神学家的观点（注明出处）

整个第一卷预计可以整理成一本约300–500页左右的家庭门训教材。
《改革宗家庭门训系列》
第一卷
《工作的意义与家庭责任》
Reformed Family Discipleship Series
Volume One
The Meaning of Work and Family Responsibility
序言
Preface
神创造人，不是为了懒惰，而是为了荣耀祂。
God did not create mankind for laziness, but to glorify Him.
工作的意义，不只是为了赚钱。
The purpose of work is not simply to earn money.
家庭责任，也不仅仅是养家糊口。
Family responsibility is not only about providing food and money.
改革宗神学认为：
Reformed theology teaches that:
工作是神创造秩序的一部分。
Work is part of God's created order.
家庭是神所设立的第一个社会制度。
The family is the first institution established by God.
人在工作中荣耀神。
People glorify God through their work.
人在家庭中服侍神。
People serve God in their family.
人的职业可以不同，
People may have different occupations,
但所有蒙召的人，
but all who are called by God,
都是神国度里的工人。
are workers in God's kingdom.
因此，
Therefore,
工作的意义，
the meaning of work,
远远超过薪水。
is far greater than a paycheck.
家庭责任，
Family responsibility,
也远远超过生活费用。
is far greater than paying the bills.
真正的问题不是：
The real question is not:
"我赚多少钱？"
"How much money do I make?"
而是：
Instead:
"我是否忠心完成神交托我的责任？"
"Am I faithfully fulfilling the responsibility God has given me?"
第一章
Chapter One
神首先是一位工作的神
God Is First a Working God
这是整本圣经工作的起点。
This is the starting point of work in the whole Bible.
工作的起源不是人。
Work did not begin with man.
工作的起源乃是神。
Work began with God.
因此，
Therefore,
工作本身不是咒诅。
Work itself is not a curse.
罪才是咒诅。
Sin is the curse.
圣经第一页，
On the very first page of the Bible,
我们就看见神在工作。
we see God working.
创世记 1:1-5（和合本）
起初，神创造天地。
地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。
神说：“要有光”，就有了光。
神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。
神称光为昼，称暗为夜。有晚上，有早晨，这是头一日。
Genesis 1:1–5 (NCV)
In the beginning God created the sky and the earth.
The earth was empty and had no form.
Darkness covered the ocean,
and God's Spirit was moving over the water.
Then God said,
"Let there be light,"
and light appeared.
God saw that the light was good.
He separated the light from the darkness.
God named the light "day"
and the darkness "night."
There was evening,
and there was morning.
This was the first day.
