A Kingdom Prepared for you
“Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.’” (Matthew 25:34-36 WEB)
Just pause and think about this: God prepared the Kingdom for us—His children, from the foundation of the world.
He did not even make it for Himself. It was made beautiful, spacious, and glorious for us who have placed our faith in the name of Yahweh (before Jesus appeared)/Jesus (Yeshua).
“The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.’” (Matthew 25:40 AMP)
The righteous are instructed to do good to fellow believers who are Jesus’ brothers and sisters.
These are the ways of doing good to fellow believers that Jesus mentioned:
1. Feeding the hungry
2. Giving a drink to the thirsty
3. Showing hospitality by providing lodging
4. Clothing those who have no means to obtain basic necessities
5. Visiting and praying for the sick
6. Visiting those who are in prison and taking the Gospel to them
Every believer is a member of the body of Christ, so if you do good to a believer, you are doing it to Christ Jesus.
“Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians 6:9-10 WEB)
We are taught to do good towards all men, but especially to fellow believers. When we do good as we have opportunity, we are doing it as unto the Lord.
“And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24 WEB)
I understand how doing good can make you weary—when others are unappreciative or take advantage of you, despite you giving your best to do good. It can feel pointless at times because people can be so heartless.
However for you are doing good mainly as for the Lord Jesus, and not for men. The Lord will reward you, even if men’s intentions were impure.
We have a Kingdom prepared for us that is an unshakable inheritance. While we are here in this world, let us pray at all times, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and showcase God’s love by doing good, using the gifts and grace we have received. That is the best we can do while waiting for the Lord’s imminent return!

to what extent 在 Re: [問題] to what extent & how much 的翻法- 看板translator 的美食出口停車場
※ 引述《somnolence (Ku~kuku~)》之銘言：
: 大家好
: 我想請問一下，像是問卷中有 "to what extent"這樣開頭的問句
: 譬如說：
: To what extent was this like you were in the same room with Alice?
to what extent可翻成"試申論" 或 "試敘述"
一般有兩種用法
1.(一串論點),to what extent do you agree or disagree?
意思就是:你同意或不同意(一串論點)? 試申論之
2.To what extent (接完整一句話)
好比你舉的這句"To what extent was this like you...."
: 然後問卷的兩端是：
: A lot like being in the same room 與 not like being in the same room at all
: 像這樣形式的問句，翻譯的時候通常也會把to what extent翻出來嗎？
: 例如說，翻成：你覺得你和Alice同在一間房間的感受程度為何？
: 非常像在同一間房間 & 一點都不像在同一間房間
: 因為感覺這樣翻好像還滿繞口的，不太像一般中文的語法@@a
: 如果翻成： 你覺得你和Alice在同一間房間嗎？
: 這樣會不會又失去原意呢？
: 或者有沒有其他更好的翻法呢？@_@a
你喜歡和Alice同個房間嗎? 試描述之
非常喜歡/一點都不喜歡
這種是問卷很標準的格式
通常會有幾個計量上的項目 最左和最右兩個極端 中間各項表現程度上的差別
: ---
: 另一種問句是how much開頭的問句
: 譬如說：
: How much did you feel as if you were interacting with an intelligent being?
: 問卷兩端是Absolutely 與 not at all
: 翻成：你覺得自己像在與一個智慧個體互動的程度為何？
: 的確如此 & 一點也不
: 還是可以翻成：你覺得自己在和一個智慧個體互動嗎？
: 這樣會不會失去原意？或有其他更好的翻法呢？
你與一個智能生物的互動意願有多少?
非常樂意/一點也不想
: ----
: 最後一個想請問這兩個term
: intelligent being 智慧個體？/聰明的人？
: social being 有社交能力的個體？/
: 這兩個要怎麼翻比較好呢？感覺有智慧的個體好像也很不中文...XDDD
如果intelligent being是用在你上面那一句"How much did you feel as..."的話
一般來說汎指人類
social being的話 有人翻成 :社會我/社會成員/社會存有/社會性存在/社會人
