奋斗与勇敢-第347章
伟大的使徒保罗在责任和原则处于危急的关头坚定不移。但礼貌是他品格上的显著特点。这样他就能与上流社会的人士接触。保罗从不怀疑上帝的能力,或祂是否乐意赐予他度基督徒人生所需要的恩典。……保罗没有生活在疑云下,在幽暗和迷雾之中摸索前进,抱怨艰难和试炼。他带有希望和勇气的快乐声音一直传响到我们这个时代。保罗有健康的宗教经验。基督的爱乃是他主要的题旨和约束他的力量。{CC 352.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第347章
The great apostle Paul was firm where duty and principle were at stake; but courtesy was a marked trait of his character, and this gave him access to the highest class of society. Paul never doubted the ability of God or His willingness to give him the grace he needed to live the life of a Christian.... He does not live under a cloud of doubt, groping his way in the mist and darkness of uncertainty, complaining of hardship and trials. A voice of gladness, strong with hope and courage, sounds all along the line down to our time. Paul had a healthful religious experience. The love of Christ was his grand theme, and the constraining power that governed him. {CC 352.2}[2]

保罗在遭遇令挂名的基督徒沮丧的状况时,仍保持坚定的意志,充满勇气、希望和喜乐。……当他在船上,狂风大作,即将船毁之时,他也表显出同样的盼望和喜乐。他对船主下令,保住了一船人的性命。他虽然身为囚犯,却成了真正的船主,是船上最自由、最快乐的人。……{CC 352.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第347章
When in the most discouraging circumstances, which would have had a depressing influence upon half-way Christians, he is firm of heart, full of courage and hope and cheer.... The same hope and cheerfulness is seen when he is upon the deck of the ship, the tempest beating about him, the ship going to pieces. He gives orders to the commander of the ship and preserves the lives of all on board. Although a prisoner, he is really the master of the ship, the freest and happiest man on board.... {CC 352.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第347章
当保罗站在决定他生死的君王和地上当局面前时,他毫不畏惧,因为他已将他的性命交托给上帝,并藏在基督里面了。他用他的礼貌软化了这班心地和生活邪恶腐败,脾气暴躁,却掌有权柄之人的心。……彬彬有礼的风度和真文雅的美德乃是他行为的标志。当他依照自己说话的习惯伸出手来的时候,叮当作声的锁链并不使他羞愧难堪。他认为这是他光荣的标志,并以能为上帝的道和耶稣基督的见证受苦而喜乐。……他讲的道理清楚而折服人心,使淫荡的君王战慄不已。……恩典就象一位仁慈的天使,使他的声音美妙而宏亮。他侃侃述说耶稣无比之爱和十字架的故事。(ST.1879.11.6){CC 352.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第347章
When before kings and dignitaries of the earth, who held his life in their hands, he quailed not; for he had given his life to God, and it was hid in Christ. He softened, by his courtesy, the hearts of these men in power, men of fierce temper, wicked and corrupt though they were in heart and life.... Propriety of deportment, the grace of true politeness, marked all his conduct. When he stretched out his hand, as was his custom in speaking, the clanking chains caused him no shame or embarrassment. He looked upon them as tokens of honor, and rejoiced that he could suffer for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.... His reasoning was so clear and convincing that it made the profligate king tremble.... Grace, like an angel of mercy, makes his voice heard sweet and clear, repeating the story of the cross, the matchless love of Jesus.23 {CC 352.4}[4]
