效法主耶稣-第6章
“你们饶恕人的过犯,你们的天父也必饶恕你们的过犯。你们不饶恕人的过犯,你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯”(太6:14,15)。{BLJ12.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第6章
If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.Matthew 6:14, 15, NRSV.{BLJ 12.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第6章
我们的救主教导祂的门徒要祈求:“免我们的债,如同我们免了人的债”(太6:12)。这里求的大福分是有条件的。我们自己表达了这些条件。我们向上帝求的怜悯要按照我们向别人施的怜悯来衡量。基督宣布,这乃是主对待我们的准则。“你们饶恕人的过犯,你们的天父也必饶恕你们的过犯;你们不饶恕人的过犯,你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯”(太6:14-15)。多么奇妙的条件啊!但是人们对此了解或听从的多么少啊。{BLJ12.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第6章
Our savior taught His disciples to pray: “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” A great blessing is here asked upon conditions. We ourselves state these conditions. We ask that the mercy of God toward us may be measured by the mercy which we extend to others. Christ declares that this is the rule by which the Lord will deal with us. “If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Wonderful terms! but how little are they understood or heeded.{BLJ 12.2}[2]

最常见的一种罪,也是伴有最致命结果的一种罪,就是放纵一种不饶恕的精神。多少人心怀仇恨憎恶或报复,然后又跪到上帝面前求赦免像他们赦免别人一样啊。他们肯定没有理解这个重要祷告的真意,否则他们就不敢说出这个祈求了。我们每天每时都依赖上帝赦罪的恩惠;我们还怎能对我们同作罪人的人心怀苦毒和恶意呢!如果基督徒在他们日常的一切交往中,都愿意执行这个祷告的原则,在教会中和世界上就会发生何等有福的改变啊!这将对圣经宗教的现实性作出最有说服力的见证。{BLJ12.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第6章
One of the most common sins, and one that is attended with most pernicious results, is the indulgence of an unforgiving spirit. How many will cherish animosity or revenge and then bow before God and ask to be forgiven as they forgive. Surely they can have no true sense of the import of this prayer or they would not dare to take it upon their lips. We are dependent upon the pardoning mercy of God every day and every hour; how then can we cherish bitterness and malice toward our fellow sinners! If, in all their daily relations, Christians would carry out the principles of this prayer, what a blessed change would be wrought in the church and in the world! This would be the most convincing testimony that could be given to the reality of Bible religion....{BLJ 12.3}[3]

使徒警告我们说:“爱人不可虚假,恶要厌恶,善要亲近。爱弟兄,要彼此亲热;恭敬人,要彼此推让”(罗12:9-10)。保罗要我们分辨清楚,受基督的灵激励的纯洁无私的爱,和世界上充斥的无意义的欺人的虚情假意,两者之间的不同。这种卑鄙的伪装已使许多生灵误入歧途。它也会不分是非,姑息犯罪者的行为而不如实地向他指出错误。真正的友谊,绝对不会形成这样的做法。只有世俗的心才存有这种精神。{BLJ12.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第6章
We are admonished by the apostle: “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.” Paul would have us distinguish between the pure, unselfish love which is prompted by the spirit of Christ, and the unmeaning, deceitful pretense with which the world abounds. This base counterfeit has misled many souls. It would blot out the distinction between right and wrong, by agreeing with the transgressors instead of faithfully showing them their errors. Such a course never springs from real friendship. The spirit by which it is prompted dwells only in the carnal heart.{BLJ 12.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第6章
当基督徒不断地表现得和蔼、同情和宽恕的时候,他就会感到与罪恶格格不入。他会憎厌罪恶,追求良善,宁愿丧失不信上帝之人的联系与友谊。基督的灵,要引导我们憎恨罪恶,而同时却要我们心甘情愿地为拯救罪人而作任何牺牲。(5T.170,171){BLJ12.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第6章
While Christians will be ever kind, compassionate, and forgiving, they can feel no harmony with sin. They will abhor evil and cling to that which is good, at the sacrifice of association or friendship with the ungodly. The spirit of Christ will lead us to hate sin, while we are willing to make any sacrifice to save the sinner.—Testimonies for the Church 5:170, 171.{BLJ 12.5}[5]
