Vice Does Not Triumph Over Virtue, March 31
得胜的基督-第92章
“约瑟的主人,把约瑟下在监里。……但耶和华与约瑟同在,向他施恩,使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩”(创39:19-21)。{CTr 97.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第92章
And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison.... But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.Genesis 39:20, 21.{CTr 97.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第92章
你不论被放在什么位置,都要以坚定的原则巩固自己。要决心在上帝的帮助下接近可敬的、公义的、清洁的、可爱的、有美名的事物。你如果敬畏上帝,加上喜爱高尚、纯洁、能提升人的事物,就能防止不诚实的行为。……当你回顾一生,虽然经历许多可怕的试探,你的手却不受玷污,你的心也不受污染,你是多么快乐和满足啊!……{CTr 97.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第92章
Wherever you may be placed, you must be fortified by firm principle. Enter life determined by the help of God to cleave close to whatsoever things are honest, true, lovely, and of good report. The fear of God, united with the love of that which is noble, pure, and elevating, will guard you from a dishonest action.... How pleasant, how satisfactory, will be the recollection all through life that though exposed to many and fierce temptations, your hands were unstained by dishonesty, and your heart undefiled by cherishing temptation....{CTr 97.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第92章
约瑟的历史对我们所有的青年人是多么美好的教训啊!约瑟在最严峻的试探下,保持了他道德上的坚贞。对于他品德的袭击,是多么可怕和诱人!来自这种源头和形式的试探,很容易败坏青年人的心。约瑟的宗教原则救了他,引导他迅速坚决地抗拒撒但的诡计。试探者达不到目的,就恶毒地要毁掉这个她无法败坏其美德的的青年人,控告他犯了他所没有犯的罪。……上帝容许这位忠心的青年人被监禁,为以后的提升作准备。倘若没有波提乏之妻子的恶行,约瑟就不可能当上埃及的宰相。{CTr 97.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第92章
What a lesson for all youth we have in the history of Joseph. Here moral integrity was preserved under the strongest temptations. How fierce and seductive was the assault upon his virtue! Coming from such a source and in such a form, it was the most likely to corrupt a youthful mind. Joseph was saved by his religious principles, which led him promptly and firmly to resist the device of Satan. His tempter, defeated in her purpose, wickedly sought to ruin the youth whose virtues she could not corrupt, and accused Joseph of the very crime he would not commit.... God made the imprisonment of this faithful youth the means of his elevation. Had it not been for this wicked act of Potiphar’s wife, Joseph would never have become prime minister of Egypt.{CTr 97.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第92章
虽然邪恶似乎得胜,美德被践踏在地,约瑟并没有抱怨他境遇的恶化。他持有真正的信仰。……上帝正教导约瑟重要的教训。祂在预备约瑟担任重要、尊贵,大展身手的职位。约瑟先要学会顺从,再学习管理。他自我谦卑,但上帝却高举他。圣经的宗教不会贬低接受的人,反而会提升和高举接受和顺从它教训的人。敬畏上帝是青年人坚固的保障。有了这个保障,他们能经过最败坏的环境而不受玷污。{CTr 97.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第92章
Although vice seemed to triumph while virtue was trampled in the dust, Joseph did not make his lot worse by repining. He possessed genuine religion.... God was teaching Joseph important lessons. He was preparing him for a position of trust, honor, and usefulness. Joseph learned to govern by first learning to obey. He humbled himself, and God exalted him. The religion of the Bible never degrades the receiver; on the contrary, it elevates and ennobles all who accept and obey its teachings. The fear of God is a strong defense for the youth. With this shield they may pass through the most corrupting scenes uncontaminated.{CTr 97.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第92章
我亲爱的儿子(埃德森),不要超越谦卑基督徒人生的质朴。但愿约瑟的品格成为你的品格,他抗拒试探的能力成为你的力量。你若依靠上帝的大能作出努力,你的努力就会成功。耶稣是随时的帮助。你母亲祈愿耶稣的福气永远与你同在!(Letter 1868.20){CTr 97.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第92章
My dear son [Edson], do not get above the simplicity of a humble Christian life. Let the character of Joseph be your character; let his strength to resist temptation be your strength. Your efforts will be successful if you make them in the strength of God. Jesus is a present help. May the blessing of Jesus ever rest upon you is the prayer of your mother.—Letter 20, 1868.{CTr 97.5}[5]
