  第122章 服装崇拜

告青年书-第135章

  Chapter 122—Idolatry of Dress

告青年书-第135章

  服装崇拜乃是一种道德的疾病，决不可带到新生活之中。在大多数情况下，顺从福音的要求，必须在服装方面有明显的改变。{MYP 358.1}[1]

告青年书-第135章

  The idolatry of dress is a moral disease. It must not be taken over into the new life. In most cases, submission to the gospel requirements will demand a decided change in the dress.{MYP 358.1}[1]

告青年书-第135章

  我们不该疏忽自己的服装。我们既然是基督的见证人，为了祂的缘故，我们应设法使自己仪表端庄。在圣幕的崇事中，上帝对于在祂面前供职之人的穿戴，曾有详细的指示。我们从这里可以得知，上帝对于那些事奉祂之人的服装是有所要求的。祂对亚伦所穿衣袍的指示尤为详尽，因为他的服装是有象征意义的。所以基督徒的服装也必须有象征意义。我们必须在万事上作祂的倒把。仪表的各个方面都应以优雅、正派、纯洁为特征。圣经并没有吩咐我们为了时髦而经常变换服装，使自己显得与世人相同。基督徒不该以高价的盛装或昂贵的装饰品来妆饰自己。{MYP 358.2}[2]

告青年书-第135章

  There should be no carelessness in dress. For Christ’s sake, whose witnesses we are, we should seek to make the best of our appearance. In the tabernacle service, God specified every detail concerning the garments of those who ministered before Him. Thus we are taught that He has a preference in regard to the dress of those who serve Him. Very specific were the directions given in regard to Aaron’s robes, for his dress was symbolic. So the dress of Christ’s followers should be symbolic. In all things we are to be representatives of Him. Our appearance in every respect should be characterized by neatness, modesty, and purity. But the word of God gives no sanction to the making of changes in apparel merely for the sake of fashion—that we may appear like the world. Christians are not to decorate the person with costly array or expensive ornaments.{MYP 358.2}[2]

告青年书-第135章

  圣经中有关服装的话，应当留心思考。我们需要明白天上的上帝是在洞察着我们所穿的服装。凡真心寻求基督恩典的人必留意上帝所启示的宝贵训言，甚至连衣服的样式也要显示福音的真理。——《教会证言》卷六96页{MYP 358.3}[3]

告青年书-第135章

  The words of Scripture in regard to dress should be carefully considered. We need to understand that which the Lord of heaven appreciates in even the dressing of the body. All who are in earnest in seeking for the grace of Christ will heed the precious words of instruction inspired by God. Even the style of the apparel will express the truth of the gospel.—Testimonies for the Church 6:96.{MYP 358.3}[3]
