Bible verse of the Month 本月金句

「你們既因順從真理，潔淨了自己的心，以致愛弟兄沒有虛假，就當從心裏彼此切實相愛。」《彼得前書1章22節》
“Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.” (1 Peter 1:22)

Meaning: to show the real side of a person’s character.

Sam: Melody is our new manager. She’s not only young, but charming, too.  And she’s really nice to us. On her first day she bought us very expensive cakes for afternoon tea. We all have a very good impression of her.
Peter: So, every word about this Melody from you is good. But I know something else about her.   I’ve heard that, in her previous company, she had fired many staff members who had disagreed with her. So, do watch out! It doesn’t take long to show her true colours!
