Do Right in Business, Not Just in Church, June 2
效法主耶稣-第154章
“所以无论何事,你们愿意人怎样待你们,你们也要怎样待人。因为这就是律法和先知的道理”(太7:12)。{BLJ165.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第154章
In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.Matthew 7:12, NRSV.{BLJ 165.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第154章
一个真正敬畏上帝的人,宁可昼夜辛劳、食不果腹,也不愿放纵贪得的私欲,去欺压孤儿寡妇,或“屈枉寄居的外人。”我们的救主设法让祂的听众明白,胆敢在最小的事上欺诈邻舍的人,只要遇到有利的时机,就会在大事上实行欺诈。须臾偏离严格的正直,就会打破屏障,预备人心行更大的不义。基督用言语和榜样教导我们以最严格的诚实支配我们对待同胞的行动。神圣的教师说:“所以无论何事,你们愿意人怎样待你们,你们也要怎样待人”(太7:12)。{BLJ165.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第154章
Those who truly fear God would rather toil day and night, and eat the bread of poverty, than to indulge a passion for gain which would oppress the widow and the fatherless, or turn strangers from their right. Our Savior sought to impress upon His hearers that the person who would venture to defraud a neighbor in the smallest item would, if the opportunity were favorable, overreach in larger matters. The slightest departure from rectitude breaks down the barriers, and prepares the heart to do greater injustice. By precept and example Christ taught that the strictest integrity should govern our conduct toward our fellow beings. Said the divine Teacher, “Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”{BLJ 165.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第154章
人若是损人利己,就无法接受圣灵的感动。以这样的代价所获得的利益实际上乃是可怕的损失。宁可受穷也不要撒谎;宁可挨饿也不要欺诈;宁可受死也不要犯罪。自称虔诚的人所放纵的奢侈、贪婪和欺诈正在败坏他们的信仰,摧毁他们的灵性。教会在很大的程度上要为其成员的罪负责。她若是没有扬声反对罪恶,便是纵容罪恶。她最需要担心的影响不是来自公开的反对者,不信的人,以及亵渎的人,而是来自言行不一的自称信奉基督的人。这些人扣留了以色列上帝的福气。{BLJ165.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第154章
Just to the extent that people would advantage themselves at the disadvantage of others will their souls become insensible to the influence of the Spirit of God. Gain obtained at such a cost is a fearful loss. It is better to want than to lie; better to hunger than to defraud; better to die than to sin. Extravagance, overreaching, extortion indulged by those professing godliness, are corrupting their faith and destroying their spirituality. The church is in a great degree responsible for the sins of its members. It gives countenance to the evil if it fails to lift its voice against it. The influence from which it has most to fear is not that of open opposers, infidels, and blasphemers, but of inconsistent professors of Christ. These are the ones who keep back the blessing of the God of Israel....{BLJ 165.3}[3]

商界并非处在上帝政权的管束之外。真宗教不只是在安息日和在圣殿里展示,而是要表现在每一天和每一个地方。家庭生活的一举一动,都必须承认和遵守它的要求。自称信奉真宗教的人,会在他们一切的业务交易上表明他们对正义的清晰理解,与他们在施恩的宝座前恳求时一样。(SW.1904.5.10){BLJ165.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第154章
The business world does not lie outside the limits of God’s government. True religion is not to be merely paraded on the Sabbath and displayed in the sanctuary; it is for every day and for every place. Its claims must be recognized and obeyed in every act of life. Those who possess the genuine article will in all their business affairs show as clear a perception of right as when offering their supplications at the throne of grace.—The Southern Watchman, May 10, 1904.{BLJ 165.4}[4]
