Choosing a Wife, February 20
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
(创24:)
“我要叫你指着耶和华天地的主起誓,不要为我儿子娶这迦南地中的女子为妻。你要往我本地本族去,为我儿子以撒娶一个妻子”(创24:3,4)。{CC 57.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
Genesis 24[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
亚伯拉罕平素对于上帝的信心和对祂旨意的顺从,从以撒的品格上也都看得出来;但是那青年人的爱情是强烈的,而且他的性情又是温和柔顺的。如果与一个不敬畏上帝的女子结合,他就有委曲求全牺牲原则的危险。所以在亚伯拉罕看来,为他的儿子找一个配偶乃是一件非常重要的事;他切望以撒能与一个不至于引他离开上帝的女子结婚。……{CC 57.2}[2]

Thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. Genesis 24:3, 4. {CC 57.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
亚伯拉罕曾注意自从该隐的日子以来,那些敬畏上帝之人与不敬畏上帝之人间通婚的结果。他自己与夏甲结婚,以及以实玛利和罗得之婚姻的后果,都摆在他面前。由于亚伯拉罕和撒拉缺少信心,结果生了以实玛利,公义的血统和不敬虔的血统混杂起来了。而且父亲在他儿子身上的影响力,被母亲拜偶像的本族和以实玛利的异教妻子的影响所抵消了。……{CC 57.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
Abraham’s habitual faith in God and submission to His will were reflected in the character of Isaac; but the young man’s affections were strong, and he was gentle and yielding in disposition. If united with one who did not fear God, he would be in danger of sacrificing principle for the sake of harmony. In the mind of Abraham, the choice of a wife for his son was a matter of grave importance; he was anxious to have him marry one who would not lead him from God.... {CC 57.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
罗得的妻子是一个自私自利不敬虔的妇人。罗得与亚伯拉罕的分离,原是她的影响所造成的。若不是为了她,罗得就不会留在所多玛,长久得不到那有智慧又敬畏上帝之先祖的劝告。……{CC 57.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
Abraham had marked the result of the intermarriage of those who feared God and those who feared Him not, from the days of Cain to his own time. The consequences of his own marriage with Hagar, and of the marriage connections of Ishmael and Lot, were before him. The lack of faith on the part of Abraham and Sarah had resulted in the birth of Ishmael, the mingling of the righteous seed with the ungodly. The father’s influence upon his son was counteracted by that of the mother’s idolatrous kindred and by Ishmael’s connection with heathen wives.... {CC 57.3}[4]

敬畏上帝的人与不敬畏上帝的人结合,是不会没有危险的。“二人若不同心,岂能同行呢”(摩3:3)?婚姻的幸福和成功有赖乎双方的同心联合;而信主的和不信主的人之间在嗜好、心情和志向上都是根本不同的。他们是在事奉两个彼此不能和谐的主。无论一个人的主义是多么纯洁正确,但他那个不信主之配偶的影响,总有引诱他离弃上帝的趋势。……主的指示是:“你们和不信的原不相配,不要同负一轭”(林后6:14,17,18)。(PP171-175){CC 57.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第52章
The wife of Lot was a selfish, irreligious woman, and her influence was exerted to separate her husband from Abraham. But for her, Lot would not have remained in Sodom, deprived of the counsel of the wise, God-fearing patriarch.... {CC 57.4}[5]
