Chinese (traditional)It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows. It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,
and after vows to make enquiry. It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and to reflect only after making vows. It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows. Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost. It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and begin to reflect only after making a vow. It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication,
then later to consider his vows. It is rash to pledge a sacred gift,
or to make a vow and then have second thoughts. Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.Next verse!With image
