耶利米書7章8-11節
現代中文譯本2019
8 「看吧，你們倚靠那騙人的話是徒然的！
9 你們偷竊，殺人，姦淫，作偽證，向巴力獻祭，拜你們不認識的神明。
10 你們做我恨惡的事，然後跑到我的聖殿裡，站在我面前，說：『我們很安全！』
11 你們以為我的聖殿是賊窩嗎？我清清楚楚地看見你們的一舉一動。
ESV
8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.
9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,
10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations?
11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the LORD.
今天的經文中，提出一個很深刻的問題：違背上帝的律法，有聖殿有什麼用？當人做了壞事，只要回到聖殿就安全了，那聖殿不就是壞人的基地？基督信仰的本質是讓我們用這樣的自欺欺人來逃避自己的罪嗎？
