你必得能力-第273章
Timothy, September 28
你必得能力-第273章
“我在上帝面前,并在将来审判活人死人的基督耶稣面前,凭着祂的显现和祂的国度嘱咐你,务要传道,无论得时不得时,总要专心,并用百般的忍耐,各样的教训,责备人,警戒人,劝勉人”(提后4:1,2)。[1]
你必得能力-第273章
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.2 Timothy 4:1, 2.{YRP 280.1}[1]
你必得能力-第273章
保罗向提摩太这么热诚忠心的人尚且发出这个严肃的劝告,这乃是一个强有力的见证,证明福音使者工作的重要和责任。保罗在上帝的审判台前嘱咐提摩太“务要传道”,不可传人的虚谈和习俗;而要随时准备,一有机会就为上帝作见证——或在大庭广众前,或在私人的场合,或路边传道,或家常会谈,或向朋友,或向仇敌,不论在安全的时候,或遇见困难与危险,侮辱和损失的时候。{YRP 280.1}[2]
你必得能力-第273章
This solemn charge to one so zealous and faithful as was Timothy is a strong testimony to the importance and responsibility of the work of the gospel minister. Summoning Timothy before the bar of God, Paul bids him preach the Word, not the sayings and customs of men; to be ready to witness for God whenever opportunity should present itself—before large congregations and private circles, by the way and at the fireside, to friends and to enemies, whether in safety or exposed to hardship and peril, reproach and loss.{YRP 280.2}[2]
你必得能力-第273章
保罗唯恐提摩太的温良柔和的性情会使他规避一项必须的工作,所以劝他务要忠诚地谴责罪恶,甚至用锐利的言语责备那些犯了严重错误的人,但他必须以“百般的忍耐和各样的教训”来进行这工,他必须显示基督的忍耐和仁爱,用圣经的真理说明并加强他责备的话。{YRP 280.2}[3]
你必得能力-第273章
Fearing that Timothy’s mild, yielding disposition might lead him to shun an essential part of his work, Paul exhorted him to be faithful in reproving sin and even to rebuke with sharpness those who are guilty of gross evils. Yet he was to do this “with all longsuffering and doctrine.” He was to reveal the patience and love of Christ, explaining and enforcing his reproofs by the truths of the Word.{YRP 280.3}[3]
你必得能力-第273章
一面恨恶并谴责罪恶,而同时对于罪人显示怜悯和亲切,这是一件不易做到的事。我们自己越热切地努力追求心灵和生活方面的圣洁,我们对于罪恶的认识就必越为敏锐。我们必须谨防,不可对行错事的人过于严厉;同时我们也必须小心,不可忽视罪非常邪恶的本质。我们需要对于犯错误的人显示基督化的忍耐和爱心;但我们也不可对于他们所犯的错误过于容忍,使他们以为自己不该受责备,并以自己所受的责备为不必需和不公正的,因而加以拒绝。(AA 503){YRP 280.3}[4]
你必得能力-第273章
To hate and reprove sin, and at the same time to show pity and tenderness for the sinner, is a difficult attainment. The more earnest our own efforts to attain to holiness of heart and life, the more acute will be our perception of sin and the more decided our disapproval of any deviation from the right. We must guard against undue severity toward the wrongdoer, but we must also be careful not to lose sight of the exceeding sinfulness of sin. There is need of showing Christlike patience and love for the erring one, but there is also danger of showing so great toleration for his error that he will look upon himself as undeserving of reproof, and will reject it as uncalled for and unjust.—The Acts of the Apostles, 503, 504.{YRP 280.4}[4]
