【释义】：

最先的与最后的；首先的与末后的

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, And he laid his right hand upon me , saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last.

Rev. 1:16-17

他(指基督)右手拿着七星，从他口中吐出来一把两刃的利剑。

面貌如同烈日放光。

我(指约翰)一看见就扑倒在他脚前，像死了一样。他用右手按着我说：“不要惧怕，我是首先的，我是末后的。”

《启示录》1∶16－17

Take that thine is,and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Matt, 20:14-16

拿你的走罢；我给那后来的和给你一样，这是我愿意的。

我的东西难道不可随我的意思用么?因为我作好人，你就红了眼么?

这样，那在后的将要在前，在前的将要在后了，虽然被召的人多，但是选上的人少。

《马太福音》20∶14－16］
