约翰⼀书 2:16 因为凡世界上的事，就像⾁体的情欲，眼⽬的情欲并今⽣的骄傲，都不是从⽗来的，乃是从世界来的。(现代标点和合本)
1John 2: 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (NKJV)
⽆论我们是否愿意承认，我们的⽣活往往是围绕着今⽣的骄傲和⾃以为是。我们以我们的孩⼦、事业、财富和外貌为傲。⻢ 太福⾳6:32说天⽗知道我们需要的这⼀切， 但它告诉我们⾸先要寻求神的国和神的义。 世界上的财富和成就或许可以带来短暂的满⾜，但它们永远⽆法真正满⾜我们。拥有⼀ 辆新⻋的兴奋感会随着时间的推移⽽消退， 甚⾄婚姻的新鲜感也会随着时间⽽消逝。然⽽，神召唤我们追求更深⼊，更持久的东 西。在耶稣的第⼀个神迹中，祂在⼀场婚筵上把⽔变成酒。神呼召我们拥有⼀段令⼈陶醉如酒的婚姻⽣活，这意味着你的婚姻⽣活是随着岁⽉的流逝⽽变得更加精彩和充实。
Truth be told, our earthly journey often revolves around the pursuit of pride and self-importance. We find pride in various aspects of life, such as our children, businesses, wealth, and appearances. Matthew 6:32 says that the Father knows that we need all these things, but it tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. The allure of worldly possessions and achievements may bring temporary satisfaction, but they can never truly fulfill us. The excitement of acquiring a new car may fade over time, and even the initial thrill of marriage might diminish after several years. However, God calls us to something more profound and lasting. In the first miracle of Jesus, He turned water into wine at a wedding. God calls us to have a marriage that is intoxicating like wine, which means your marital life should grow more exciting and fulfilling as the years pass by.
