“我若能说万人的方言,并天使的话语,却没有爱,我就成了鸣的锣、响的钹一般”(林前13:1){UL 66.1}[1]

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.1 Corinthians 13:1.{UL 66.1}[1]

世上有真基督教,也有假基督教。一个人对待同胞的方式,显出他真正的精神。我们可以问这个问题,他在精神和行为上,是表现出了基督的品格呢,还是单单表现出属于今世之人的生来自私的品格特性呢?口头上的信仰对上帝来说是轻如无物的。在改过迁善永远为时太晚之前,每一个人要扪心自问:“我是什么人?”我们要不要养成那种会使我们成为天上上帝王室成员的品格,取决于我们自己。{UL 66.2}[2]

There is a counterfeit Christianity in the world as well as a genuine Christianity. The true spirit of the man is manifested by the way in which he deals with his fellow man. We can ask the question, “Does he represent the character of Christ in spirit and action, or simply manifest the natural selfish traits of character that belong to the people of this world?” Profession weighs nothing with God. Before it is everlastingly too late for wrongs to be righted, let each one ask himself, “What am I?” It depends upon ourselves as to whether we shall form such characters as will constitute us one of God’s royal family above.{UL 66.2}[2]

假如我们要成为基督化,就必须研究基督的圣德。……我们须要仔细地省察自我,并问:“这是否基督行事为人的样式?基督是否要这样行呢?我在所与交接者的心思上留下怎样的印象呢?我的行事为人是否削弱任何所交往之人的信任,使他们轻视我所信奉的基督教呢?我对待基督宝血所赎买的对象是否缺乏礼貌,不像基督,刻薄寡恩呢?”{UL 66.3}[3]

If we would become Christlike, we must study Christ’s character.... It is necessary that we should closely examine ourselves, and enquire, “Is this Christ’s way? Would Christ pursue this course of action? What kind of an impression am I leaving upon the minds of those with whom I am connected? Shall I pursue a course of action that will weaken the confidence of anyone with whom I deal and cause them to think lightly of the Christianity that I profess? Shall I be uncourteous, un-Christlike, unmerciful toward the purchase of the blood of Christ?”{UL 66.3}[3]

我要向我们各教会的弟兄们发警告,因我深怕有不少的人正在效法那将他主人的银子埋藏地里的懒惰仆人之所为。他所犯的乃是忽略的罪,就是忽略而没有利用交托给他之智识珍宝的罪。上帝已赐给他的子民珍贵的亮光,藉以照耀世界,岂不是有许多人对之漠不关心,行事为人好像表示这自天而来的赐予并不重要吗?……{UL 66.4}[4]

I would speak words of warning to the brethren of our churches, for I fear that many are acting the part of the slothful servant who hid his lord’s talent in the earth. His sin was the sin of neglect, the sin of failing to improve the great treasures of knowledge that were committed to his trust. God has given precious light to His people with which to enlighten the world, and are not many treating it with indifference, and acting as though the heavenly gift were of little consequence? ...{UL 66.4}[4]

在我们行将遭遇的危险日子,所谓“晴天的基督徒”必不答应主的呼唤。惟独那不仅用耳听,并且实行基督话语的人,才能作活泼有为的基督徒——“殷勤不可懒惰。要心里火热,常常服侍主”(罗12:11)。一种自下界发动的新力量正在充满了整个撒但一会的人,又有一种自天而降的新生命也正充满着凡献身,忠诚,努力从事上帝工作的人间代表。……{UL 66.5}[5]

Fair weather disciples will not answer to the Lord’s call in time of peril toward which we are hastening. It will take those who not only hear but do the words of Christ to be active disciples—“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). A new energy proceeding from beneath is taking possession of the whole synagogue of Satan, and a new life descending from heaven is taking possession of every human agent who is consecrated, devoted, and who is seeking to work the works of God....{UL 66.5}[5]

但愿宣讲圣言和教义的人,将信心和诚恳的祷告调和起来,力图利用自写著的圣言放射出来的每线亮光。上帝的声音自上天呼唤,吩咐我们善用每一项受托的才能。要尽量地利用每样才干。(《文稿》1895年第6号,“真假基督教”)6号,2月21日,“真假基督教“){UL 66.6}[6]

Let those who minister in word and doctrine mix faith with earnest prayer, and seek to put to use every ray of light that comes from the Written Word. The voice of God calls from heaven, and demands the use of every entrusted capability. Every talent is to be used to its uttermost.—Manuscript 6, February 21, 1895, “Genuine and Counterfeit Christianity.”{UL 66.6}[6]
