  MR No. 521 - Scripture is the Key to Scripture

文稿发布-第07卷-第93章

  圣经本身就是开启经文的钥匙。世人的迷信毫无价值。要非常谨慎，免得引进世人的谬论。要教导每一位学生按照基督教训的榜样，清楚地讲解上帝的圣言。祂不说满足人好奇心或激发自私野心的话。祂不说抽象的理论，只说品格发展的要素，扩大人认识上帝的能力，增进他行善的力量。祂讲论涉及生活为人，将人与永恒相联的真理。我们读到“众人都喜欢听祂”，“很希奇祂的教训，因为祂的话里有权柄”（路4:32）。{7MR416.1}[1]

  Scripture is the key that unlocks Scripture. The suppositions of men are worthless. Great care is to be exercised, lest human fallacies be brought in. Every student is to be educated to give a clear exposition of the Word, according to the example Christ has given in His teaching. He said nothing to gratify curiosity or to stimulate selfish ambition. He did not deal in abstract theories, but in that which is essential to the development of character; that which will enlarge man's capacity for knowing God, and increase his power to do good. He spoke of those truths that relate to the conduct of life, and that unite man with eternity. We read that the common people heard Him gladly. The people "were astonished at His teaching; for His word was with power." {7MR 416.1}[1]

  我们不必因牵强附会的圣经解释而烦恼。这是犹太教师的做法。他们引述拉比们的意见和遗传，使听众的思想混乱。他们将人的吩咐当作道理教训人。我们不要寻找上帝的圣言中所没有的启示。我们当按照基督的纯朴，讲明圣经的教训。身处高位的人，会因朴素直白的圣经真理而心悦诚服。（《信函》1904年111号3、4页，致巴特勒弟兄，1904年3月13日）1977年1月18日发布。{7MR416.2}[2]

  We need not tax our minds for some far-fetched explanation of the words of Scripture. Thus the Jewish teachers did. They quoted the ideas and traditions of the rabbis, confusing the minds of their hearers. They taught for doctrine the commandments of men. We are not to seek for revelations that have not been made in the Word of God. In the simplicity of Christ we are to present the plain teaching of the Bible. Men in high positions of trust in the world will be charmed by a plain, straightforward, scriptural statement of truth.--Letter 111, 1904, pp. 3, 4. (To Brother Butler, March 13, 1904.) Released January 18, 1977. {7MR 416.2}[2]
