Top: Why should it use up the soil?

Left: Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.'” (Luke 13:6–9)

Bottom: I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!

底端：找果子竟找不着 把它砍了罢

左侧：耶稣用比喻说 一个人有一棵无花果树栽在葡萄园里 他来到树前找果子却找不着 就对管园的说看哪 我这三年来到这无花果树前找果子竟找不着 把它砍了罢何必白占地土呢 管园的说 主啊今年且留着 等我周围掘开土加上粪 以后若结果子便罢不然再把它砍了 路加福音十三章六至九节

Large characters: Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness

Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on…. Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? … And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin … If God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ … Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you as well (Matthew 6:25–33).

先求主的国和他的义

不要为生命忧虑吃什么喝什么为身体忧虑穿什么……你们看那天上的飞鸟也不种也不收也不积蓄在仓里你们的天父尚且养活他你们不比飞鸟贵重得多么…… 何必为衣裳忧虑呢你想野地里的百合花怎么长起来他也不劳苦也不纺线……你们这小信的人哪野地里的草今天还在明天就丢在炉里上帝还给他这样的妆饰何况你们呢所以不要忧虑说吃什么喝什么穿什么……你们需用的这一切东西你们的天父是知道的你们要先求他的国和他的义这些东西都要加给你们了 马太福音 六章二十五至三十三节
