QT:不隨從慾望的純正之人(約伯記31:01—31:12)
[生命泉源]
31:01 — | 我與眼睛立約,怎能戀戀瞻望處女呢? "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. |
31:02 — | 從至上的神所得之分,從至高全能者所得之業是甚麼呢? For what is man's lot from God above, his heritage from the Almighty on high? |
31:03 — | 豈不是禍患臨到不義的,災害臨到作孽的呢? Is it not ruin for the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong? |
31:04 — | 神豈不是察看我的道路,數點我的腳步呢? Does he not see my ways and count my every step? |
31:05 — | 我若與虛謊同行,腳若追隨詭詐; "If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has hurried after deceit-- |
31:06 — | (我若被公道的天平稱度,使神可以知道我的純正;) let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless-- |
31:07 — | 我的腳步若偏離正路,我的心若隨著我的眼目,若有玷污粘在我手上; if my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled, |
31:08 — | 就願我所種的有別人喫,我田所產的被拔出來。 then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted. |
31:09 — | 我若受迷惑,向婦人起淫念,在鄰舍的門外蹲伏, "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door, |
31:10 — | 就願我的妻子給別人推磨,別人也與他同室。 then may my wife grind another man's grain, and may other men sleep with her. |
31:11 — | 因為這是大罪,是審判官當罰的罪孽。 For that would have been shameful, a sin to be judged. |
31:12 — | 這本是火焚燒,直到毀滅,必拔除我所有的家產。 It is a fire that burns to Destruction; it would have uprooted my harvest. |
省 思 語— | 順服與盲從不同,遵行神的旨意並不是勉強應和祂。假裝順服並不是真順服,信心始於真正的順服。 |
省 思 語— | 基督徒必須隨時用在神面前的心態生活。 |
省 思 語— | 我們免受審判,不是靠行為,而是靠恩典。聖徒不是靠自己的義,而是靠神的恩典,在苦難中也在乎神,在祂面前過正直的生活。 |
省 思 語— | 最容易令我跌倒的罪的誘惑有哪些?如果此刻神在我眼前,我的心態與行為會如何改變? |
省 思 語— | 不必成為完全的人,而要成為誠實的人。 |
