6月23日罪路崎岖难行

Sin’s Way Is Hard, June 23

（撒下12:1-14）
“只是你行这事，叫耶和华的仇敌大得亵渎的机会”（撒下12:14）。{CC 180.1}[1]

在以后的各世代中，许多不信上帝的人们要指着大卫有污点的品格，得意地嘲笑说：“这就是合上帝心意的人！”这样，宗教就受了侮辱，上帝和祂的话受了亵渎，许多人在不信之中硬了心肠，而那些披着敬虔外衣的人，也在罪恶中胆大妄为了。{CC 180.2}[2]

By this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme. 2 Samuel 12:14. {CC 180.1}[2]

但大卫的历史事实上并不能为罪恶张目。他之称为合上帝心意的人，乃是在他遵行上帝旨意的时候。当他犯了罪时，情形就不是如此了，直到他悔改归向耶和华为止。……{CC 180.3}[3]

Through successive generations infidels have pointed to the character of David, bearing this dark stain, and have exclaimed in triumph and derision, “This is the man after God’s own heart!” Thus a reproach has been brought upon religion, God and His word have been blasphemed, souls have been hardened in unbelief, and many, under a cloak of piety, have become bold in sin. {CC 180.2}[3]

大卫虽然悔改了他的罪，并蒙了耶和华的赦免和悦纳，但他自己所撒的种子已经为他结出苦毒的果子。……他在自己家庭中的权威，以及他从众子所应得的尊敬和顺从也减少了。当他应当谴责罪恶的时候，他因自觉有罪而只得闭口无言；他的手因而发软，以致不能在家庭中主持正义。……{CC 180.4}[4]

But the history of David furnishes no countenance to sin. It was when he was walking in the counsel of God that he was called a man after God’s own heart. When he sinned, this ceased to be true of him until by repentance he had returned to the Lord.... {CC 180.3}[4]

那些指着大卫的榜样想要减轻自己罪责的人，应当从圣经的记载中学知犯罪的路是“崎岖难行”的。即或他们能象大卫一样离弃邪恶，可是罪恶的苦果，就是在今生也是最难忍受的。{PP.722-723）{CC 180.5}[5]

Though David repented of his sin, and was forgiven and accepted by the Lord, he reaped the baleful harvest of the seed he himself had sown.... His authority in his own household, his claim to respect and obedience from his sons, was weakened. A sense of his guilt kept him silent when he should have condemned sin; it made his arm feeble to execute justice in his house.... {CC 180.4}[5]

一个人伤害同胞是犯罪，但人所犯的主要罪过乃是得罪上帝。他的不良榜样还会影响别人。上帝真挚的儿女不轻看衪的任何要求。（3BC.1147）{CC 180.6}[6]

Those who, by pointing to the example of David, try to lessen the guilt of their own sins, should learn from the Bible record that the way of transgression is hard. Though like David they should turn from their evil course, the results of sin, even in this life, will be found bitter and hard to bear.40 {CC 180.5}[6]

上帝的旨意是要以大卫失足的历史作为一个警告，就是，凡蒙他特别赐福和恩待的人，万不可自觉安全而忽略儆醒祈祷。这样，一切能虚心领受上帝所赐教训的人都已学到这一点。（PP724）{CC 180.7}[7]

A man incurs guilt by injuring a fellow-being, but his chief guilt is the sin that he has committed against the Lord, and the evil influence of his example upon others. The sincere child of God does not make light of any of His requirements.41 {CC 180.6}[7]
