第119章 正派的服装
告青年书-第132章
Chapter 119—Proper Dress
告青年书-第132章
圣经教训我们服装要正派:“又愿女人廉耻、自守,以正派的衣裳为妆饰”(提前2:9)。它禁止服装的炫耀,艳丽的色彩和奢侈的打扮。任何吸引人注意和羡慕穿着者的设计,都违背圣经有关正派衣裳的吩咐。{MYP 351.1}[1]
告青年书-第132章
The Bible teaches modesty in dress. “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel.”1 Timothy 2:9. This forbids display in dress, gaudy colors, profuse ornamentation. Any device designed to attract attention to the wearer or to excite admiration is excluded from the modest apparel which God’s Word enjoins.{MYP 351.1}[1]
告青年书-第132章
【服装要节约】
我们的服装应当节约,“不以黄金,珍珠和贵价的衣裳为妆饰”(提前2:9)。金钱是上帝所委托的,不可用来满足我们自己的奢华和骄傲。金钱在上帝儿女的手中应当使饥饿的人有饭吃,赤身的人有衣穿,受压迫的人得到保护,患病的人得到康复,并传福音给贫穷的人。你浪费在打扮上的金钱若妥善地使用,就能使许多人的心得到快乐。应当思考基督的生活,学习祂的品格,并与祂克己的精神有分。{MYP 351.2}[2]
告青年书-第132章
【Economy in Dress】
Our dress is to be inexpensive—not with “gold, or pearls, or costly array.” Money is a trust from God. It is not ours to expend for the gratification of pride or ambition. In the hands of God’s children it is food for the hungry and clothing for the naked. It is a defense to the oppressed, a means of health to the sick, or preaching the gospel to the poor. You could bring happiness to many hearts by using wisely the money that is now spent for show. Consider the life of Christ. Study His character, and be partakers with Him in His self-denial.{MYP 351.2}[2]
告青年书-第132章
在自称为基督教的国家中,有大量本应使饥饿者得食,赤身者得衣的钱财耗费在珠宝和不必要的昂贵服装上。他们在这些时尚与虚饰上花费了本应使穷人和受苦者得到抚慰的钱财。他们从世人身上掠夺了救主之慈爱的福音。……{MYP 351.3}[3]
告青年书-第132章
In the professed Christian world enough is expended for jewels and needlessly expensive dress to feed all the hungry and to clothe the naked. Fashion and display absorb the means that might comfort the poor and the suffering. They rob the world of the gospel of the Saviour’s love....{MYP 351.3}[3]
告青年书-第132章
【质地与品味】
我们所穿的衣服既要正派简朴,而要质地优良,色泽相宜,适合于工作。选择服装要耐穿,而不要为炫耀,要有御寒护体的作用。《箴言》论到智慧的妇人“不因下雪为家里的人担心,因为全家都穿着朱红衣服”(箴31:21)。{MYP 351.4}[4]
告青年书-第132章
【Quality and Taste】
But our clothing, while modest and simple, should be of good quality, of becoming colors, and suited for service. It should be chosen for durability rather than display. It should provide warmth and proper protection. The wise woman described in the Proverbs “is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with double garments.”Proverbs 31:21, margin.{MYP 351.4}[4]
告青年书-第132章
【健康与清洁】
我们的服装必须清洁。肮脏的服装是不利于健康的,不但污秽人的身体,也污秽人的心灵。“你们是上帝的殿。……若有人毁坏上帝的殿,上帝必毁坏那人”(林前3:16,17)。{MYP 352.1}[5]
告青年书-第132章
【Health and Cleanliness】
Our dress should be cleanly. Uncleanliness in dress is unhealthful, and thus defiling to the body and to the soul. “Ye are the temple of God.... If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.”1 Corinthians 3:16, 17.{MYP 352.1}[5]
告青年书-第132章
服装在各方面都必须适合健康。上帝要我们“万事兴盛,身体健壮”(约叁2),身体和心灵都健康。我们应当为身体和心灵的健康而与祂合作。两者的增进都有赖于合乎健康的服装。{MYP 352.2}[6]
告青年书-第132章
In all respects the dress should be healthful. “Above all things,” God desires us to “be in health” (3 John 1:2)—health of body and of soul. And we are to be workers together with Him for the health of both soul and body. Both are promoted by healthful dress.{MYP 352.2}[6]
告青年书-第132章
【优雅和自然美】
我们的服装应当优雅美观,与自然的朴素相称。{MYP 352.3}[7]
告青年书-第132章
【Grace and Natural Beauty】
It should have the grace, the beauty, the appropriateness of natural simplicity.{MYP 352.3}[7]
告青年书-第132章
基督警告我们要避免今生的骄傲,但祂并不反对优雅和自然美。祂指着田野的花朵,指着洁白的百合花说:“然而我告诉你们:就是所罗门极荣华的时候,他所穿戴的还不如这花的一朵呢”(太6:24)?基督就是这样藉着自然万物来说明上天所嘉许的美,就是祂所喜悦的正派,优雅,简朴和合宜。——《基督教育之研究》302,303页{MYP 352.4}[8]
告青年书-第132章
Christ has warned us against the pride of life, but not against its grace and natural beauty. He pointed to the flowers of the field, to the lily unfolding in its purity, and said, “Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”Matthew 6:29. Thus by the things of nature Christ illustrates the beauty that Heaven values, the modest grace, the simplicity, the purity, the appropriateness, that would make our attire pleasing to Him.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 302-303.{MYP 352.4}[8]
