Daniel Lived by Principle, March 12
今日的生活-第72章
“那时总长和总督,寻找但以理误国的把柄,为要参他;只是找不着他的错误过失,因他忠心办事,毫无错误过失”(但6:4 )。{ML 75.1}[1]

Living by Principle Not Inclination
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.Daniel 6:4.{ML 75.1}[1]
今日的生活-第72章
但以理遭遇了最严厉的试探;这些试探也可能袭击今日的青年。但他忠于他早年所领受的宗教教训。他周围的影响,足以败坏在原则和欲念之间摇摆不定的人;但圣经记载他具有无瑕疵的品格。但以理不敢信赖自己的道德力量。他以上帝为他的力量,以祈祷为他的必需,并在处理人生的一切事务时,始终敬畏上帝。……他追求与众人和睦相处,但在涉及原则问题的时候,他就象挺拔的香柏树那样的坚定不移。在不与他对上帝的效忠相冲突的事情上,他总是尊重和顺从那些有权管辖他的人。……{ML 75.2}[2]
今日的生活-第72章
Daniel was subjected to the severest temptations that can assail the youth today, yet he was true to the religious instruction received in early life. He was surrounded with influences calculated to subvert those who would vacillate between principle and inclination, yet the Word of God presents him as a faultless character. Daniel dared not trust to his own moral power. Prayer was to him a necessity. He made God his strength, and the fear of God was continually before him in all the transactions of his life.... He sought to live in peace with all, while he was unbending as the lofty cedar wherever principle was involved. In everything that did not come in collision with his allegiance to God, he was respectful and obedient to those who had authority over him....{ML 75.2}[2]

我们从但以理与他同伴的经验中,看到了一个原则战胜放纵食欲之试探的事例。它也告诉我们,青年人藉着宗教的原则能克服肉体的私欲,保持对上帝要求的忠诚。……假如但以理和他的同伴与那些异教的官长妥协了,屈从于形势的压力,接受巴比伦人饮食的惯例,结果会怎么样呢?那一次偏离原则的行为势必削弱他们的正义感和对错误的憎厌。放纵食欲会牺牲他们身体的活力,心智的锐敏和属灵的力量。走错了一步,会步步错下去,直到他们割断了与上天的联系,被试探卷走。(ST.1882.9.28){ML 75.3}[3]
今日的生活-第72章
In the experience of Daniel and his companions we have an instance of the triumph of principle over temptation to indulge the appetite. It shows us that through religious principle young men may triumph over the lusts of the flesh, and remain true to God’s requirements.... What if Daniel and his companions had made a compromise with those heathen officers, and had yielded to the pressure of the occasion, by eating and drinking as was customary with the Babylonians? That single instance of departure from principle would have weakened their sense of right and their abhorrence of wrong. Indulgence of appetite would have involved the sacrifice of physical vigor, clearness of intellect, and spiritual power. One wrong step would probably have led to others, until, their connection with Heaven being severed, they would have been swept away by temptation.29{ML 75.3}[3]
