教会证言-卷二-第13章
亲爱的弟兄姐妹:主再次向我显现。1868年6月12日,当我在密歇根州的巴特尔克里克教堂里对众弟兄讲话时,上帝的灵临到我,我马上就进入异象中了。所见的内容很广泛。当时我已开始写作《属灵的恩赐》第五卷,但我既有实用性质的证言是你们应该立即得到的,便将那项工作暂时搁置,好准备写这本小册子。【2T.112.1】[1]
教会证言-卷二-第13章
Dear Brethren and Sisters: The Lord has again manifested Himself to me. June 12, 1868, while speaking to the brethren in the house of worship at Battle Creek, Michigan, the Spirit of God came upon me, and in an instant I was in vision. The view was extensive. I had commenced to write the fifth volume of Spiritual Gifts; but as I had testimonies of a practical nature which you should have immediately, I left that work to prepare this little pamphlet. {2T 112.1}[1]

在最近这个异象中,我蒙指示看到,我发表有关个人证言的行为是完全正确的。当主指出某些人的事,特别提及其错误时,其他人,也就是我在异象中未见到的人,常常会自以为是,或是自认并无什么大错。其实若有一人为某件特别的错误而受责备,弟兄姐妹们就当细细省察自己,看看自己有否失败,及有否犯同样的罪。他们当存谦卑认罪的精神。若别人想他们是正直的,这未必能使他们就成为正直。上帝鉴察人的心。祂这样考验人试炼人。祂责备一个人的过失,意欲许多人也得矫正。但他们若不应用这责备在自己的身上,自鸣得意地说上帝越过了他们的错误,没有特别指出来,他们就是欺骗自己的心,并要被关在黑暗之中,让他们随己心的幻想而行了。【2T.112.2】[2]
教会证言-卷二-第13章
In this last vision I was shown that which fully justifies my course in publishing personal testimonies. When the Lord singles out individual cases and specifies their wrongs, others, who have not been shown in vision, frequently take it for granted that they are right, or nearly so. If one is reproved for a special wrong, brethren and sisters should carefully examine themselves to see wherein they have failed and wherein they have been guilty of the same sin. They should possess the spirit of humble confession. If others think them right, it does not make them so. God looks at the heart. He is proving and testing souls in this manner. In rebuking the wrongs of one, He designs to correct many. But if they fail to take the reproof to themselves, and flatter themselves that God passes over their errors because He does not especially single them out, they deceive their own souls and will be shut up in darkness and be left to their own ways to follow the imagination of their own hearts. {2T 112.2}[2]
教会证言-卷二-第13章
许多人以虚假对待己心,他们在上帝之前的真实情况,也陷入大欺骗中。上帝用种种方法使其旨意有最美的实现,并要证明自称信徒者的心意。祂把某些人的错误显明出来,以便别人可受警告而畏避这些过失。藉着省察己心,他们可发觉自己也正在干犯着上帝所责备别人的罪。他们若真欲事奉上帝,怕得罪祂,他们将不待自己的罪被指出,必先认罪,谦卑悔改归向主了。他们必照上帝所给别人的亮光而弃绝自己一切触怒上帝的事。反之,那些不正直的人,若从别人受责备的罪上,看出自己也犯同样的罪,竟因自己未被特别指名,而仍继续其不献身之行径,他们就是甘冒自己灵性之险,而终被撒但随意掳去了。【2T.113.1】[3]
教会证言-卷二-第13章
Many are dealing falsely with their own souls and are in a great deception in regard to their true condition before God. He employs ways and means to best serve His purpose and to prove what is in the hearts of His professed followers. He makes plain the wrongs of some that others may thus be warned, and fear, and shun those errors. By self-examination they may find that they are doing the same things which God condemns in others. If they really desire to serve God, and fear to offend Him, they will not wait for their sins to be specified before they make confession and with humble repentance return unto the Lord. They will forsake the things which have displeased God, according to the light given to others. If, on the contrary, those who are not right see that they are guilty of the very sins that have been reproved in others, yet continue in the same unconsecrated course because they have not been specially named, they endanger their own souls, and will be led captive by Satan at his will. {2T 113.1}[3]
