“在白发的人面前,你要站起来,也要尊敬老人,又要敬畏你的上帝。我是耶和华”(利19:32)。{ML 279.1}[1]

Respect in My Life
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.Leviticus 19:32.{ML 279.1}[1]
今日的生活-第276章
有些服务是别人应得的,我们若是忽略了,就不可能遵守上帝的诫命。为自己生活、思想和行事,只能使我们成为上帝无用的仆人。……{ML 279.2}[2]
今日的生活-第276章
There are services due to others which we cannot ignore and yet keep the commandments of God. To live, think, and act for self only is to become useless as servants of God....{ML 279.2}[2]
今日的生活-第276章
我们的队伍中有太多好动、多嘴、自我表扬的人,随意举荐自己,一点不尊敬别人的年龄、经验或职责。教会现在急需具有相反品格之人的帮助——谦虚、安静、敬畏上帝的人,愿意承担放在他们身上的不合意的责任,不是为出名,而是为了向为他们而死的夫子献上服务。具有这种品格的人,不会认为在年长的人和白发的人面前尊敬地站起来有损自己的尊严。……{ML 279.3}[3]
今日的生活-第276章
We have in our ranks too many who are restless, talkative, self-commending, and who take the liberty to put themselves forward, having no reverence for age, experience, or office. The church is suffering today for help of an opposite character—modest, quiet, God-fearing men, who will bear disagreeable burdens when laid upon them, not for the name, but to render service to their Master, who died for them. Persons of this character do not think it detracts from their dignity to rise up before the ancient and to treat gray hairs with respect....{ML 279.3}[3]
今日的生活-第276章
上帝喜欢尊重那些敬畏祂崇敬祂的人。人可以得到提升以致形成连结天与地之间的链环。人从创造主手中出来的时候有匀称的品格,赋有可以用来进步的才能,以便在上帝的影响和人的努力之下,可以提高自己,几乎达到天使的境界。然而,他在得到这样的提高时,却不会意识到自己的良善和伟大。(4T 340){ML 279.4}[4]
今日的生活-第276章
Those who fear and reverence God, He will delight to honor. Man may be so elevated as to form the connecting link between heaven and earth. He came from the hand of his Creator with a symmetrical character, endowed with such capacities for improvement that, combining divine influence with human efforts, he might elevate himself almost to an angel’s sphere. Yet, when thus elevated, he will be unconscious of his goodness and greatness.4{ML 279.4}[4]

上帝特别吩咐人要尊敬老年人。祂说:“白发是荣耀的冠冕;在公义的道上,必能得着”(箴16:31)。白发见证所经历的战斗、所获得的胜利、所背负过的重担与所抵御过的试探。它说明疲乏的脚即将休息,所占的位置即将空缺。帮助儿童想到这一点,他们就会以尊敬和礼貌铺平老年人的道路,并因听从“在白发人的面前,你要站起来,也要尊敬老人”的吩咐(利19:32),而把优雅和美丽带进他们年轻的生命中。(Ed 244){ML 279.5}[5]
今日的生活-第276章
And God has especially enjoined tender respect toward the aged. He says, “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.” It tells of battles fought, and victories gained; of burdens borne, and temptations resisted. It tells of weary feet nearing their rest, of places soon to be vacant. Help the children to think of this, and they will smooth the path of the aged by their courtesy and respect and will bring grace and beauty into their young lives as they heed the command to “rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man.”5{ML 279.5}[5]
