Chapter 54—Training for Service
告青年书-第60章
上帝已经赐下亮光，可是奇怪的是，没有多少青年人要求说，“主啊！祢要我作什么？”有人以为，一个青年若没有立志献身传道，就不需要作什么特别的努力，培养自己为上帝作工。这是一种严重的错误。不论你蒙召从事什么工作，都必须勤奋学习，增进自己的才能。{MYP 185.1}[1]
告青年书-第60章
Considering the light that God has given, it is marvelous that there are not scores of young men and women inquiring, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” It is a perilous mistake to imagine that unless a young man has decided to give himself to the ministry, no special effort is required to fit him for the work of God. Whatever may be your calling, it is essential that you improve your abilities by diligent study.{MYP 185.1}[1]
告青年书-第60章
我们应当鼓励青年男女善于利用天赐良机的福分，使自己训练有素，知识丰富。他们应当利用学校的教育。学校的设立就是为了传授最佳的知识。在受教育的事上疏忽懒惰是有罪的。时候不多了。上帝很快就要来结束地球的历史，所以更需善用当前的机会和特权。{MYP 185.2}[2]
告青年书-第60章
Young men and women should be urged to appreciate the heaven-sent blessings of opportunities to become well-disciplined and intelligent. They should take advantage of the schools that have been established for the purpose of imparting the best of knowledge. It is sinful to be indolent and negligent in regard to obtaining an education. Time is short, and therefore, because the Lord is soon to come to close the scenes of earth’s history, there is all the greater necessity of improving present opportunities and privileges.{MYP 185.2}[2]
告青年书-第60章
【将才能奉献给上帝】
男女青年应当进入我们的学校，接受知识和训练。他们应将自己的才能奉献给上帝，殷勤研究圣经，以便抵制谬道，不上异端的当。因为只有殷勤查考圣经，我们才知道什么是真理；只有实行我们已知的真理，才会有更多的亮光从圣经照到我们身上。……{MYP 185.3}[3]
告青年书-第60章
【Consecrate Ability to God】
Young men and young women should place themselves in our schools, in the channel where knowledge and discipline may be obtained. They should consecrate their ability to God, become diligent Bible students, that they may be fortified against erroneous doctrine, and not be led away by the error of the wicked; for it is by diligent searching of the Bible that we obtain a knowledge of what is?truth. By the practice of the truth we already know, increased light will shine upon us from the holy Scriptures....{MYP 185.3}[3]
告青年书-第60章
真正献身给上帝的人，绝不带着世人从事世务的动机，单为生计而参加圣工。他们决不让世俗的考虑左右他们，因为他们认识到上帝的工作是神圣的。{MYP 186.1}[4]
告青年书-第60章
Those who are truly consecrated to God will not enter the work prompted by the same motive which leads men to engage in worldly business, merely for the sake of a livelihood, but they will enter the work allowing no worldly consideration to control them, realizing that the cause of God is sacred.{MYP 186.1}[4]
告青年书-第60章
【为将来的意外作预备】
应当警告世人，决不要满足于肤浅的真理知识。你们不知道自己将蒙召担负什么工作，到什么地方去为真理作见证。许多人将被迫站在法庭上；还有人要站在君王和世上有学问的人面前，为自己的信仰辩护。{MYP 186.2}[5]
告青年书-第60章
【Preparation for Future Contingencies】
The world is to be warned, and no soul should rest satisfied with a superficial knowledge of truth. You know not to what responsibility you may be called. You know not where you may be called upon to give your witness of truth. Many will have to stand in the legislative courts; some will have to stand before kings and before the learned of the earth, to answer for their faith.{MYP 186.2}[5]
告青年书-第60章
对真理一知半解的人，不可能把圣经解释清楚，为自己的信仰提出有确凿的理由。他们将狼狈不堪，无法作无愧的工人。任何人都不要以为自己既不打算在讲台上传道，就不需要学习。你不知道上帝可能对你有什么要求。{MYP 186.3}[6]
告青年书-第60章
Those who have only a superficial understanding of truth will not be able clearly to expound the Scriptures, and give definite reasons for their faith. They will become confused, and will not be workmen that need not to be ashamed. Let no one imagine that he has no need to study because he is not to preach in the sacred desk. You know not what God may require of you.{MYP 186.3}[6]
告青年书-第60章
可惜的是，圣工的推进竟因缺乏训练有素，能胜任职责的工人而受到阻碍。上帝愿意接纳成千的人到祂的大田园里工作。可是许多人没有为这项工作作好准备。每一个拥护基督圣工，愿意在主的军队里服役的人，都应当来到可以接受忠实训练的地方。一般自称跟从基督的人，太不重视自己的宗教信仰了。上帝的旨意并不是要人在可以获得智慧与知识的时候，仍留在无知之中。——《基督教育原理》216，217页{MYP 186.4}[7]
告青年书-第60章
It is a lamentable fact that the advancement of the cause is hindered by the dearth of educated laborers who have fitted themselves for positions of trust. The Lord will accept of thousands to labor in His great harvest field, but many have failed to fit themselves for the work. But every one who has?espoused the cause of Christ, who has offered himself as a soldier in the Lord’s army, should place himself where he may have faithful drill. Religion has meant altogether too little to the professed followers of Christ; for it is not the will of God that anyone should remain ignorant when wisdom and knowledge have been placed within reach.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 216, 217.{MYP 186.4}[7]

【在正义的原则下保持平衡】
才气出众的青年不一定取得最大的成功。一些有才学的人担任重要的职务，结果往往失败。他们闪光像金子，但经过试炼以后，却证明只是无用的渣滓。他们因不忠心而工作失败。他们不殷勤，没有恒心，不愿追根究底，不肯从阶梯的第一级开始，耐心地逐级攀登，直到梯顶。他们行走在自己所点燃的思想火花中，没有依靠惟有上帝才能赐与的智慧。他们的失败不是因为没有机会，而是因为没有冷静的思考。他们没有感觉到受教育机会的宝贵，没有宗教和科学知识上取得应有的进步。他们的思想和品格没有在高尚的正义原则下保持平衡。——《基督教育原理》193页{MYP 187.1}[8]
告青年书-第60章
【Balanced by Right Principles】
It is not true that brilliant young men always make the greatest success. How often men of talent and education have been placed in positions of trust, and have proved failures. Their glitter had the appearance of gold, but when it was tried it proved to be but tinsel and dross. They made a failure of their work through unfaithfulness. They were not industrious and persevering, and did not go to the bottom of things. They were not willing to begin at the bottom of the ladder, and with patient toil ascend round after round till they reached the top. They walked in the sparks (their bright flashes of thought) of their own kindling. They did not depend on the wisdom which God alone can give. Their failure was not because they did not have a chance, but because they were not sober-minded. They did not feel that their educational advantages were of value to them, and so did not advance as they might have advanced in the knowledge of religion and science. Their mind and character were not balanced by high principles of right.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 193.{MYP 187.1}[8]
