“祢因我纯正就扶持我,使我永远站在祢的面前”(诗41:12)。{HP243.1}[1]
一同在天上-第238章
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.Psalm 41:12.{HP 243.1}[1]
一同在天上-第238章
真基督徒在生活的每一举动上,都与他所希望周围的人对他的看法一样。他由真诚和正直来引导。他既毫无阴谋,也就毫无需要隐瞒的事。他也许会受到批评,受到试探;但经过了这一切,他的刚直不阿象精金一般闪耀。他成了凡与他接触之人的朋友与帮助者。他的同胞信任他,因为他值得信任。他雇用工人收割他的庄稼吗?他决不扣留他们辛苦赚来的工资。他有无须急用的钱吗?他就解救比他更不幸之弟兄的急需。他不会利用邻舍的逆境来扩大自己的财产。他所卖的货物只收公道的价钱。出售的物品若有什么毛病,他就坦率地告诉买主,即便如此行似乎有违于他的经济利益。……{HP243.2}[2]

In every action of life the true Christian is just what he desires those around him to think he is. He is guided by truth and uprightness. He does not scheme; therefore he has nothing to gloss over. He may be criticized, he may be tested; but through all, his unbending integrity shines out like pure gold. He is a friend and benefactor to all connected with him, and his fellow men place confidence in him, for he is trustworthy. Does he employ laborers to gather in his harvest? He does not keep back their hard-earned money. Has he means for which he has no immediate use? He relieves the necessities of his less-fortunate brother. He does not seek to enlarge his possessions by taking advantage of the untoward circumstances of his neighbor. He accepts only a fair price for that which he sells. If there are defects in the articles sold, he frankly tells the buyer, even though by so doing he may seem to work against his own pecuniary interests....{HP 243.2}[2]

撒但完全明白一个刚直不阿之人的生活具有何等为善的能力,因此他极为热心地拦阻人过这样的生活。他来向他们提供诱惑性试探,应许给他们财富、地位和属世的尊荣,只要他们放弃正义的原则。他已经取得了很大的成功。……从许多失败之人的惨史中,我们了解到兴旺的危险。……处于最大危险中的,并不是损失了财产的人,而是获得了财富的人。……我们常常为患难中的人祷告,这是对的。然而那些兴旺的人更需要上帝仆人的祷告,因他们丧失救恩的危险更大。人在屈辱谷中若崇敬上帝并依靠祂,就可以安全地行走。但是在听到赞美的顶峰,他们却需要天上特别能力的帮助。……{HP243.3}[3]
一同在天上-第238章
Satan knows full well what a power for good is the life of a man of unbending integrity, and he puts forth zealous efforts to prevent men from living such lives. He comes to them with alluring temptations, promising them wealth, position, worldly honor, if they will but yield the principles of righteousness. And he has much success.... From the sad history of many who have failed we learn the danger of prosperity. It is not those who have lost their property who are in greatest danger, but those who have obtained a fortune.... Prayer is often requested for men and women in affliction, and this is right. But those in prosperity are more in need of the prayers of God’s servants, for they are in greater danger of losing salvation. In the valley of humiliation men walk securely while they reverence God and make Him their trust. On the lofty pinnacle, where praise is heard they need the help of special power from above....{HP 243.3}[3]

真宗教不是一种实验,而是实际上效法基督。上帝为每一个人都记有帐目,用他行为的实际效果试验他。不久就必听见有呼声说:“把你所经管的交代明白”(路16:2)。{HP243.4}[4]
一同在天上-第238章
True religion is not an experiment. It is an actual imitation of Christ. God keeps a personal account with every man, testing him by the practical results of his work. Soon will be heard the call, “Give an account of thy stewardship.”37{HP 243.4}[4]
