上帝的儿女-第53章
We Shall Not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain, February 21
上帝的儿女-第53章
「不可妄称耶和华你上帝的名;因为妄称耶和华名的,耶和华必不以他为无罪」(出20:7)。{SD58.1}[1]

Promises to All Who Keep God’s Law of Love
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.Exodus 20:7.{SD 58.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第53章
耶稣说明了发布这条命令的理由。我们「不可指着天起誓,因为天是上帝的座位;不可指着地起誓,因为地是祂的脚凳;也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓,因为耶路撒冷是大君的京城。又不可指着你的头起誓,因为你不能使一根头发变黑变白了」。万物都来自上帝。我们的一切都是从上帝领受的,没有一样不是基督的宝血为我们购买的。{SD58.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第53章
The reason for this command is given: we are not to swear “by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.” All things come of God. We have nothing that we have not received; and, more than this, we have nothing that has not been purchased for us by the blood of Christ.55{SD 58.2}[2]

决不可说过火的话,因为在上帝和圣天使看来,这是起誓的一种方式。{SD58.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第53章
Burning words of passion should never be spoken, for in the sight of God and holy angels they are as a species of swearing.56{SD 58.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第53章
这一条诫命不但禁止起假誓和普通的咒骂,而且也禁止人以轻率疏忽的态度称呼上帝的名,而不体会其严肃的意义。我们若在普通谈话之中漫不经心地提起上帝,在琐碎的事上凭祂起誓,或时常疏忽地反复提祂的名,这都是侮辱祂的行为。「祂的名圣而可畏」(诗111:9)。人人都该默想祂的威仪,祂的纯全和圣洁,以致内心得以被祂崇高的品德所感,而以恭敬严肃的态度提说祂的圣名。{SD58.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第53章
This commandment not only prohibits false oaths and common swearing, but it forbids us to use the name of God in a light or careless manner, without regard to its awful significance. By the thoughtless mention of God in common conversation, by appeals to Him in trivial matters, and by the frequent and thoughtless repetition of His name, we dishonor Him. “Holy and reverend in his name.” All should meditate upon His majesty, His purity and holiness, that the heart may be impressed with a sense of His exalted character; and His holy name should be uttered with reverence and solemnity.57{SD 58.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第53章
我们不可抬举人,崇拜人。唯有永活独一的真神,才配受我们尊崇和敬畏。根据圣经的教训,称牧师为“可尊敬的”乃是羞辱上帝。任何人都无权自称为“可尊敬的”,或这样称呼别人。这份尊荣单属于上帝,为了将祂与其它生灵区别开来。……「祂的名圣而可畏」。这样的语气如果我们用错了地方,就是侮辱了上帝。……只有圣父和圣子是应受尊崇的。{SD58.5}[5]
上帝的儿女-第53章
It is not men whom we are to exalt and worship; it is God, the only true and living God, to whom our worship and reverence are due. According to the teaching of the Scriptures, it dishonors God to address ministers as “reverend.” No mortal has any right to attach this to his own name, or to the name of any other human being. It belongs only to God, to distinguish Him from every other being.... “Holy and reverend is his name.” We dishonor God when we use this word where it does not belong.... The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted.58{SD 58.5}[5]
