Chapter 141—The Choice of Companions
告青年书-第156章
我们应当选择最有利于我们属灵进步,使我们能获得各种帮助的环境,因为撒旦设置了许多障碍,使我们行走天路时困难重重。我们或许处身于受难堪的境地,因为人往往是身不由己的。但是我们决不要主动置身在不利于塑造基督徒品格的影响之中。如果是职责所在,必须如此之时,我们就当加倍警醒祷告,靠着基督的恩典,稳立立场而不致堕落。{MYP 419.1}[1]
告青年书-第156章
We should choose the society most favorable to our spiritual advancement, and avail ourselves of every help within our reach; for Satan will oppose many hindrances to make our progress toward heaven as difficult as possible. We may be placed in trying positions, for many cannot have their surroundings what they would; but we should not voluntarily expose ourselves to influences that are unfavorable to the formation of Christian character. When duty calls us to do this, we should be doubly watchful and prayerful, that, through the grace of Christ, we may stand uncorrupted.{MYP 419.1}[1]
告青年书-第156章
罗得拣选在所多玛安家落户,是因为他看暂时的利益高过环绕他和他家庭的道德影响。但他所关心的这些属世事物究竟使他获得了什么呢?他所有的财物都毁于一旦;一些儿女也葬身于罪恶之城的火海之中;妻子也变成路旁的盐柱。他自己虽然得救,“乃象从火里经过的一样。”他自私选择的后果不止如此。所多玛道德的败已深深影响了他子女的品格,致使他们是非不分,善恶不辩。——《时兆》1884年5月29日{MYP 419.2}[2]
告青年书-第156章
Lot chose Sodom as a place of residence because he looked more to the temporal advantages he would gain than to the moral influences that would surround himself and his family. What did he gain so far as the things of this world are concerned? His possessions were destroyed, part of his children perished in the destruction of that wicked city, his wife was turned to a pillar of salt by the way, and he himself was saved “so as by fire.” Nor did the evil results of his selfish choice end here; but the moral corruption of the place was so interwoven with the character of his children that they could not distinguish between good and evil, sin and righteousness.—The Signs of the Times, May 29, 1884.{MYP 419.2}[2]
