 QT:不是用言語和舌頭,而是用生活和行動(約翰一書03:13—03:24)


[生命泉源]

03:13 — 弟兄們,世人若恨你們,不要以為希奇。
Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
03:14 — 我們因為愛弟兄,就曉得是已經出死入生了。沒有愛心的,仍住在死中。
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
03:15 — 凡恨他弟兄的,就是殺人的;你們曉得凡殺人的,沒有永生存在他裏面。
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
03:16 — 主為我們捨命,我們從此就知道何為愛;我們也當為弟兄捨命。
This is how we know what love is:Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
03:17 — 凡有世上財物的,看見弟兄窮乏,卻塞住憐恤的心,愛神的心怎能存在他裏面呢?
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
03:18 — 小子們哪,我們相愛,不要只在言語和舌頭上,總要在行為和誠實上。
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
03:19 — 從此就知道我們是屬真理的,並且我們的心在神面前可以安穩。
This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence
03:20 — 我們的心若責備我們,神比我們的心大,一切事沒有不知道的。
whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
03:21 — 親愛的弟兄啊,我們的心若不責備我們,就可以向神坦然無懼了。
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
03:22 — 並且我們一切所求的,就從他得著;因為我們遵守他的命令,行他所喜悅的事。
and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.
03:23 — 神的命令就是叫我們信他兒子耶穌基督的名,且照他所賜給我們的命令彼此相愛。
And this is his command:to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
03:24 — 遵守神命令的,就住在神裏面;神也住在他裏面。我們所以知道神住在我們裏面是因他所賜給我們的聖靈。
Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us:We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
省 思 語— 誰是我再怎麼努力也很難去愛的人?理由為何?停止厭惡與憤怒,並用愛去包容的秘訣是什麼?

 QT:神兒女的證據--潔淨與愛(約翰一書03:01—03:12)


[生命泉源]

03:01 — 你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛,使我們得稱為神的兒女;我們也真是他的兒女。世人所以不認識我們,是因未曾認識他。
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
03:02 — 親愛的弟兄啊,我們現在是神的兒女,將來如何,還未顯明;但我們知道,主若顯現,我們必要像他、因為必得見他的真體。
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
03:03 — 凡向他有這指望的,就潔淨自己,像他潔淨一樣。
Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
03:04 — 凡犯罪的,就是違背律法;違背律法就是罪。
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
03:05 — 你們知道主曾顯現,是要除掉人的罪;在他並沒有罪。
But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.
03:06 — 凡住在他裏面的,就不犯罪;凡犯罪的,是未曾看見他,也未曾認識他。
No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
03:07 — 小子們哪,不要被人誘惑,行義的纔是義人,正如主是義的一樣。
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
03:08 — 犯罪的是屬魔鬼,因為魔鬼從起初就犯罪。神的兒子顯現出來,為要除滅魔鬼的作為。
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
03:09 — 凡從神生的,就不犯罪,因神的道(原文是種)存在他心裏;他也不能犯罪,因為他是由神生的。
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
03:10 — 從此就顯出誰是神的兒女,。誰是魔鬼的兒女。凡不行義的就不屬神,不愛弟兄的也是如此。
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are:Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
03:11 — 我們應當彼此相愛。這就是你們從起初所聽見的命令。
This is the message you heard from the beginning:We should love one another.
03:12 — 不可像該隱;他是屬那惡者,殺了他的兄弟。為甚麼殺了他呢?因自己的行為是惡的,兄弟的行為是善的。
Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.
省 思 語— 丟棄老我並接受耶穌所賜的新我,就不會行出不義。
省 思 語— 脫離罪的本性和不被罪誘惑的方法是什麼?

 QT:否認基督的人 vs. 住在基督裡的人(約翰一書02:18—02:29)


[生命泉源]

02:18 — 小子們哪,如今是末時了。你們曾聽見說,那敵基督的要來;現在已經有好些敵基督的出來了,從此我們就知道如今是末時了。
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
02:19 — 他們從我們中間出去,卻不是屬我們的;若是屬我們的,就必仍舊與我們同在;他們出去,顯明都不是屬我們的。
They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
02:20 — 你們從那聖者受了恩膏,並且知道這一切的事(或作:都有知識)。
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
02:21 — 我寫信給你們,不是因你們不知道真理,正是因你們知道,並且知道沒有虛謊是從真理出來的。
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.
02:22 — 誰是說謊話的呢?不是那不認耶穌為基督的麼?不認父與子的,這就是敵基督的。
Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.
02:23 — 凡不認子的,就沒有父;認子的,連父也有了。
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
02:24 — 論到你們,務要將那從起初所聽見的,常存在心裏。若將從起初所聽見的存在心裏,你們就必住在子裏面,也必住在父裏面。
See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
02:25 — 主所應許我們的就是永生。
And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.
02:26 — 我將這些話寫給你們,是指著那引誘你們的人說的。
I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
02:27 — 你們從主所受的恩膏常存在你們心裏,並不用人教訓你們,自有主的恩膏在凡事上教訓你們。這恩膏是真的,不是假的;你們要按這恩膏的教訓住在主裏面。
As for you, the anointingyou received from him remains in you, and you donot need anyone to teach you. But as his anointingteaches you about all things and as that anointingis real, not counterfeit--just as it has taughtyou, remain in him.
02:28 — 小子們哪,你們要住在主裏面。這樣,他若顯現,我們就可以坦然無懼;當他來的時候,在他面前也不至於慚愧。
And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
02:29 — 你們若知道他是公義的,就知道凡行公義之人都是他所生的。
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
省 思 語— 如何讓神的話語存在我裡面?
省 思 語— 耶穌賜給所愛之人的恩典與禮物中,最大的當然是功克己身。
