聖書は、1500年ほどかけて、時代も国も異なる36人の人達によって記されたものです。前半の旧約聖書はヘブライ語で、後半の新約聖書はギリシャ語で書かれ、全部で39巻あります。英語圏の多くは、このキリスト教圏でもあり、英単語の中に今でも聖書の中で教えられている意味が込められています。

　

Soul and Body

So God created man in his own image, //The Load God formed the man ﾉand breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. // Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

　

Psychology

　

Commitment

　

Talent　

The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. ﾉBut the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his maserﾕs money.

　

　

Marriage

Do you solemnly agree before God and these witness to take this woman to be your lawful, wedded wife; to love and respect her, honor and cherish her, in health and sickness, in prosperity and in adversity; and leaving all others to keep yourself only unto her, so long as you both shall live?　　　　　　　　　　

マルコの福音書 10:9

　

Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easy angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

First Corinthians 13
