“But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. (1 Chronicles 29:14-15)
“我算什么，我的民算什么，竟能如此乐意奉献？因为万物都从你而来，我们把从你而得的献给你。 我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影儿，不能长存（或译：没有长存的指望)。(历代志上 29:14-15)
