1.桌子歪了，碗里的汤就会撒出来。所以当闹哄哄又不开心的时候，检查一下自己是不是义的、对的、正的，如此你必要看见和平，并且满有喜乐。

「因为神的国不在于吃喝，乃在于公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐。」（罗14:17）

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

2.盐能杀菌并使食物好吃，所以心里急躁的时候，撒点盐，让我们的言语能被炼净，好与人和平相处，相互包容。

「盐本是好的，若失了味，可用什么叫它再咸？你们里面要有盐，并要和平相处。」（可9:50）

Salt is good, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you restore its saltiness? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.

3.不同的规矩造成隔离，甚至彼此仇恨；但在一个新人里，没有墙，没有刀剑，连牵手都不必，因为你们本来不就是一个？

「因祂自己是我们的和平，将两下作成一个，拆毁了中间隔断的墙，就是仇恨，在祂的肉体里，废掉了那规条中诫命的律法，好把两下在祂自己里面，创造成一个新人，成就了和平；」（弗2:14-15）

For He Himself is our peace, He who has made both one and has broken down the middle wall of partition, the enmity, Abolishing in His flesh the law of the commandments in ordinances, that He might create the two in Himself into one new man, so making peace,

4.小孩子什么都不能忍，马上哭。但一个大的人，能留在低微的地位上，不为自己争什么，并且忍受错待。

「凡事卑微、温柔、恒忍，在爱里彼此担就，以和平的联索，竭力保守那灵的一：」（弗4:2-3）

With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing one another in love, Being diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace:

5.一个国家没有人管，就开始混乱。但我们有一位大君王，在我们的心和舌头上施行管治，带进和平！

「因有一婴孩为我们而生，有一子赐给我们；政权必担在祂的肩头上；祂的名称为奇妙的策士、全能的神、永远的父、和平的君。」（赛9:6）

For a child is born to us, A son is given to us; And the government Is upon His shoulder; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
