"A pearl of great price" nghĩa là gì?


"A pearl of great price" = viên ngọc quý -> nghĩa là phần thưởng khi tin vào Chúa; nghĩa khác là vật có giá trị lớn, quan trọng, có tầm ảnh hưởng lâu dài.

Ví dụ
So, if you want to make a difference in the world, if you want to do something truly counter-cultural (phản văn hóa) and if you want to find fulfillment (cảm giác đủ đầy), cherish the elderly. May they be for you, as they have been for me, a pearl of great price.

“We chose the name “Pearl Cluster of Churches” because each parish (xứ đạo) location has a historic connection with oyster (ngọc trai) fishing and of course remembering that our faith in Jesus and the kingdom of God are a pearl of great price. The main driving ambition and purpose is “Mission”.

(Mt 6,33) Christ even illustrated (minh họa) this point more graphically through parables (truyện ngụ ngôn), as when he said that the kingdom of God is like a treasure found in a field or when one finds a pearl of great price that would provoke one to sell all he has to buy that field or pearl. (cfr. Mt 13,44-45)

TRUST me on this one. I don’t think Brett Easton Ellis meant for his scorching (rất nóng) yuppie takedown to be a pearl of great price in the way of thrifting but seriously… the thing is a damned manual for identifying LUXURIOUS tailoring. BILL BLASS !!!
