五月六日只有少数人珍重健康的福惠

Health Is a Blessing Few Appreciate, May 6

“岂不知你们的身子就是圣灵的殿吗？这圣灵是从上帝而来，住在你们里头的；并且你们不是自己的人”（林前6:19）。{RC140.1}

Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19. {RC 140.1}

健康乃是一个福分。很少人欣赏它的价值。然而我们智力和体力方面的效能大都有赖于健康。我们的情感是以身体为基地的。为了使我们的才能得到充分的运用，应当把身体保持在最健康的状态中，使之处在最属灵的影响之下。{RC140.2}

Health is a blessing of which few appreciate the value; yet upon it the efficiency of our mental and physical powers largely depends. Our impulses and passions have their seat in the body, and it must be kept in the best condition physically and under the most spiritual influences in order that our talents may be put to the highest use. {RC 140.2}

任何降低体力的事物都会削弱人的智力，减弱他分辨善恶的能力。我们择善的能力因而降低。我们实行自己所认为正确之事的毅力也减弱了。{RC140.3}

Anything that lessens physical strength enfeebles the mind and makes it less capable of discriminating between right and wrong. We become less capable of choosing the good and have less strength of will to do that which we know to be right. {RC 140.3}

滥用体力会缩短我们的寿命，使我们无法以自己的生活来荣耀上帝，完成上帝所交托我们任务。我们若任凭自己养成不良的习惯，迟睡晚起，放纵食欲，损害健康，就埋下了身体衰弱的祸根。我们若忽略身体的锻炼，过度使用体力或脑力，就会使神经系统失衡。凡这样忽略自然规律而缩短了自己的寿命，使自己无法胜任工作的人，乃是犯了掠夺上帝之物的罪。{RC140.4}

The misuse of our physical powers shortens the period of time in which our lives can be used for the glory of God. And it unfits us to accomplish the work God has given us to do. By allowing ourselves to form wrong habits, by keeping late hours, by gratifying appetite at the expense of health, we lay the foundation for feebleness. By neglecting physical exercise, by overworking mind or body, we unbalance the nervous system. Those who thus shorten their lives and unfit themselves for service by disregarding nature’s laws are guilty of robbery toward God. {RC 140.4}

他们同时也亏负了他们的同胞。他们造福他人的机会，就是上帝差他们来到世间去作的工作，因他们的行为而受到了阻碍。他们使自己无法作那本来能在短时期内完成的工作。当我们因有害的习惯而剥夺了世人的福惠时，上帝是算我们有罪的。{RC140.5}

And they are robbing their fellow men also. The opportunity of blessing others, the very work for which God sent them into the world, has by their own course of action been cut short. And they have unfitted themselves to do even that which in a briefer period of time they might have accomplished. The Lord holds us guilty when by our injurious habits we thus deprive the world of good. {RC 140.5}

违犯自然的定律，就是违犯道德的律法，因为上帝既是自然定律的制订者，也是道德律法的制订者。祂用祂的手指将祂的律法写在祂所托付给人的每一根神经，每一块肌肉和每一种天赋的才能上。所以我们如果滥用身体组织的任何一个部份，都是违犯了那律法。{RC140.6}

Transgression of physical law is transgression of the moral law; for God is as truly the author of physical laws as He is the author of the moral law. His law is written with His own finger upon every nerve, every muscle, every faculty, which has been entrusted to man. And every misuse of any part of our organism is a violation of that law. {RC 140.6}

所有的人都应了解人体的组织，以保持身体的健康，好从事主的工作。肉身的生命需要小心保养和培育，使上帝的性情能藉着人充分地表显出来。身体组织与属灵生活的关系乃是真教育的最重要科目之一，必须在家庭和学校中引起充分的重视。……人人都应当使自己处在最利于生命与健康的状况中。{RC140.7}

All should have an intelligent knowledge of the human frame that they may keep their bodies in the condition necessary to do the work of the Lord. The physical life is to be carefully preserved and developed that through humanity the divine nature may be revealed in its fullness. The relation of the physical organism to the spiritual life is one of the most important branches of education. It should receive careful attention in the home and in the school.... All should place themselves in the best possible relation to life and health. {RC 140.7}

我们的习惯应当受理智的支配，而理智则应受上帝所管理。（COL.346-348）{RC140.8}

Our habits should be brought under the control of a mind that is itself under the control of God.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 346-348. {RC 140.8}
