Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.1 Timothy 4:16.{TMK 177.1}[1]

有些人似乎认为对于他人所做的无论什么事,若发表自己的不满之处,就有一定的功劳。……{TMK177.2}[2]

Some seem to think that there is a certain amount of virtue in expressing their dissatisfaction in whatever is being done by others....{TMK 177.2}[2]

例如犹大,虽然他具有贪得无厌的性格,但基督仍容许他作为教会的一分子。他拥有一些原能用来荣耀上帝的特性,可惜他没有用功克胜自己品格上的缺点。基督长久忍耐地宽容他。……那原来给予他的各种教训也与给予其他使徒的一样,假使他善加利用,这些教训原会纠正他,可惜他与上天并没有维持正当的关系。基督晓得他的真情实况,就给了他一个机会。祂接受约翰加入教会,并非因为约翰没有世人所有的缺点,乃因祂可以将约翰紧系于祂自己伟大的爱心。约翰若胜过他品格上的缺欠,就会成为教会的光。彼得,若纠正他的缺点,就会承受上帝诸般的应许。虽然他几天之前曾经否认耶稣,但耶稣从死里复活之后却嘱咐他:“你牧养我的羊,”“你喂养我的小羊”(约21:16,15)。现在祂可以信任彼得了,因为他已经在属上帝的事上获得经验了。……{TMK177.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第172章
There was Judas; Christ permitted him to be a member of the church, notwithstanding his covetous, avaricious character. He had some traits that might have been used to the glory of God, but he did not try to overcome the defects in his character. Christ bore with him long and patiently.... He had the same lessons set before him that were given to the other apostles, which would have set him right had he made a right use of them, but he did not sustain a right relation to Heaven. Christ knew his true condition, and gave him an opportunity. He connected John with the church, not because John was above human frailties, but that He might bind him to His great heart of love. If John overcame his defects of character, he would stand as a light to the church. Peter, if he corrected his faults, would inherit the promises of God. And Jesus said to him, after His resurrection, notwithstanding that he had but a few days before denied Him, “Feed my sheep,” and “Feed my lambs” (John 21:16, 15). He could trust Peter now, for he had obtained an experience in the things of God....{TMK 177.3}[3]

约翰不住地学习仿效耶稣的生活。他在基督的门下学习。……基督连续不断地教导祂的门徒,使他们可以明白天父的旨意,并在世上如明灯照耀。约翰和彼得是上帝可以信任的人物,但犹大却不然。他们都曾接受并履行主的教训,并获致胜利,但犹大却百试百败了。他虽已看出自己的缺欠,却非但没有加以纠正,反而向四围的人吹毛求疵,而心存报复。……保罗向提摩太说:“你要谨慎自己;”这意思乃是先要为自己求问上帝。但愿我们各自注意自己,殷勤防护自己的心灵,在我们所要批评的人的面前树立一种基督化的榜样。(《评论与通讯》1885年8月18日){TMK177.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第172章
John was constantly learning to copy the life of Jesus. He was learning in Christ’s school.... Lesson after lesson Christ gave to His disciples, that they might know the will of the Father and shine as lights in the world. John and Peter were men whom God could trust, but Judas was not. They had received and heeded the lessons and gained the victory, but Judas had failed at every trial. He saw his faults, but instead of correcting them revenged himself by picking flaws in others around him.... Paul says to Timothy, “Take heed unto thyself”; that is, seek God first for thyself. Let us individually turn our attention to ourselves, diligently guard our own souls, and set a Christlike example before those whom we would criticise.28{TMK 177.4}[4]
