神说、我们要照着我们的形像、按着我们的样式造人、使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜、和全地、并地上所爬的一切昆虫。 神就照着自己的形像造人、乃是照着他的形像造男造女。 神就赐福给他们.又对他们说、要生养众多、遍满地面、治理这地.也要管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟.和地上各样行动的活物。 神说、看哪、我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬、和一切树上所结有核的果子、全赐给你们作食物。 至于地上的走兽、和空中的飞鸟、并各样爬在地上有生命的物、我将青草赐给他们作食物.事就这样成了。 神看着一切所造的都甚好.有晚上、有早晨、是第六日。

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
在生活中默想 · 灵修解释 · Reflecting in daily life · Devotional interpretation
创世记 1 的结尾讲述人按神的形象受造,以及对受造世界的责任。它邀请我们同时认真看待人的尊严和管理世界的托付。 我容易用成绩和收入判断一个人。创造叙事中的人有神的形象;尊严先于成绩,也先于社会给出的标签。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始:认真听一个容易被忽略的人说话。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动,可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
The closing portion of Genesis 1 describes humanity in God's image and responsibility within creation. It invites attention to both human dignity and the task of caring for the world. I often judge a person by achievement and income. Humanity bears God's image in the creation account. Dignity precedes achievement and social labels. Begin with a small concrete response today: Listen attentively to someone often overlooked. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
