今日的生活-第73章
“我怎能作这大恶,得罪上帝呢”(创39:9)?{ML 76.1}[1]
今日的生活-第73章
Living by Principle Not Inclination
How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God??Genesis 39:9.{ML 76.1}[1]
今日的生活-第73章
约瑟的温和与忠直赢得了那护卫长的心。他待约瑟如同儿子而不象是一个奴仆了。……但是约瑟的信心和忠直必须再受一番火炼的试验。他主人的妻子想要勾引这个青年违犯上帝的诫命。以前约瑟一直能保守自己,不因充斥这异教之地的腐化影响而败坏;但是这一次的试探是那么突然,那么猛烈,那么迷人,——他将怎样应付呢?约瑟明知道拒绝这女人所必有的后果。约瑟很可以得到她的宠爱和赏赐,他们的关系也无人知道;若是拒绝的话,则是羞辱,监禁,甚至死亡。他一生的前途完全取决于这一时的决定。这时公义能得胜吗?约瑟仍要忠于上帝吗?众天使以说不出来的焦虑注视着这幕景象。{ML 76.2}[2]
今日的生活-第73章
Joseph’s gentleness and fidelity won the heart of the chief captain, who came to regard him as a son rather than a slave.... But Joseph’s faith and integrity were to be tested by fiery trials. His master’s wife endeavored to entice the young man to transgress the law of God. Heretofore he had remained untainted by the corruption teeming in that heathen land; but this temptation, so sudden, so strong, so seductive—how should it be met? Joseph knew well what would be the consequence of resistance. On the one hand were concealment, favor, and rewards; on the other, disgrace, imprisonment, perhaps death. His whole future life depended upon the decision of the moment. Would principle triumph? Would Joseph still be true to God? With inexpressible anxiety, the angels looked upon the scene.{ML 76.2}[2]

约瑟的回答显明了宗教信仰的力量。他不愿意辜负他地上主人对于他的信任;而且不论后果如何,他决心要忠于他天上的主。……{ML 76.3}[3]
今日的生活-第73章
Joseph’s answer reveals the power of religious principle. He would not betray the confidence of his master on earth, and, whatever the consequences, he would be true to his Master in heaven....{ML 76.3}[3]
今日的生活-第73章
约瑟终于因着他的正直而受了苦;那勾引他的人反而控告他犯了可耻的罪,藉以向他泄愤,于是约瑟被下在监里。如果波提乏真相信他妻子控告约瑟的话,这个希伯来的青年是必定会丧失性命的;可是他那一贯谨慎和正直的行为,足以证明他是无罪的;但波提乏为了顾全自己的名誉,竟把约瑟委弃于耻辱和捆锁之中。……{ML 76.4}[4]
今日的生活-第73章
Joseph suffered for his integrity; for his tempter revenged herself by accusing him of a foul crime, and causing him to be thrust into prison. Had Potiphar believed his wife’s charge against Joseph, the young Hebrew would have lost his life; but the modesty and uprightness that had uniformly characterized his conduct were proof of his innocence; and yet, to save the reputation of his master’s house, he was abandoned to disgrace and bondage....{ML 76.4}[4]
今日的生活-第73章
但约瑟的真品质甚至在黑暗的地牢中也照耀出来了。他坚持了他的信心和忍耐;他多年忠心的服务,虽然得到了最残酷的报酬,但这并没有使他忧郁或失去信心。他问心无愧,处之泰然,并将他的案件交托上帝。(PP 217,218){ML 76.5}[5]
今日的生活-第73章
But Joseph’s real character shines out, even in the darkness of the dungeon. He held fast his faith and patience; his years of faithful service had been most cruelly repaid, yet this did not render him morose or distrustful. He had the peace that comes from conscious innocence, and he trusted his case with God.30{ML 76.5}[5]
