信仰的基础-第235章
God and Caesar, August 22
信仰的基础-第235章
“‘我们纳税给凯撒,可以不可以?’……耶稣说:‘这样,凯撒的物当归给凯撒,上帝的物当归给上帝’”(路20:22-25)。{FLB 240.1}[1]

In Contact With Others
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? ... And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.Luke 20:22-25.{FLB 240.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第235章
基督的回答……是一个明白的答复。祂手中拿着铸有凯撒名号和肖像的罗马钱币,说明他们既然处在罗马帝国的保护之下,就当尽到维持这个政权的义务,只要这义务不与更高的义务有冲突。但是当他们安分守己地服从国家的律法时,应该随时以尽忠上帝为首要。(DA 602){FLB 240.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第235章
Christ’s reply was ... a candid answer to the question. Holding in His hand the Roman coin, upon which were stamped the name and image of Caesar, He declared that since they were living under the protection of the Roman power, they should render to that power the support it claimed, so long as this did not conflict with a higher duty. But while peaceably subject to the laws of the land, they should at all times give their first allegiance to God.106{FLB 240.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第235章
我们也该承认属世的政府是上帝所命定的。在合理的范围之内,教导人顺从政府乃是我们的天职。但当政府的命令与上帝的命令发生冲突时,我们必须顺从上帝,而不顺从人。我们必须承认上帝的话高过世人的法律。我们不可以“教会当局如此说”或“政府当局如此说”来代替“耶和华如此说。”基督的冕旒必须被高举,超过一切地上君王和臣宰。(AA 68){FLB 240.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第235章
We are to recognize human government as an ordinance of divine appointment, and teach obedience to it as a sacred duty, within its legitimate sphere. But when its claims conflict with the claims of God, we must obey God rather than men. God’s Word must be recognized as above all human legislation. A “Thus saith the Lord” is not to be set aside for a “Thus saith the church” or a “Thus saith the state.” The crown of Christ is to be lifted above the diadems of earthly potentates.107{FLB 240.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第235章
上帝的律法所具有的智慧和权威,原是至高无上的。……耶和华的十诫乃是一切正义而良善之法律的基础。凡爱上帝诫命的人必遵守地上每一良善的法律。(1T.361,362){FLB 240.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第235章
The wisdom and authority of the divine law are supreme.... The ten precepts of Jehovah are the foundation of all righteous and good laws. Those who love God’s commandments will conform to every good law of the land.108{FLB 240.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第235章
上帝不要我们故意反抗掌权的人。……我们只要奉基督的名前进,宣讲主所托付我们的真理。若有人拦阻我们作这样的工作,我们只得像使徒一样地说:“听从你们,不听从上帝,这在上帝面前合理不合理,你们自己酌量吧!我们所看见所听见的、不能不说”(徒4:19,20)。(AA 69){FLB 240.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第235章
We are not required to defy authorities.... We are to go forward in Christ’s name, advocating the truths committed to us. If we are forbidden by men to do this work, then we may say, as did the apostles, “Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”Acts 4:19, 20.109{FLB 240.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第235章
我们的国不属这世界。我们正在等候我们的主从天来到地上,……设立祂永远的国度。(1T.360){FLB 240.6}[6]
信仰的基础-第235章
Our kingdom is not of this world. We are waiting for our Lord from heaven to come to earth to ... set up His everlasting kingdom.110{FLB 240.6}[6]
