Chapter 13—Temptation No Excuse for Sin
告青年书-第16章
我们本性的每一感触,心志的每一才能,或内心的每一倾向,都必须时时刻刻服在上帝圣灵的管理之下。只要是我们给撒但留一点地步,上帝赐人的每一福惠,和祂让人遭遇的每一个试炼,撒但都能够而且必定利用来试探、摧残并毁灭我们。所以每一个人所受的属灵光照不论多么大,所享的恩典和福惠不论多么多,他总必须时刻谦卑地行在主面前,并凭着信心恳求上帝指导他的每一思想,管理他的每一个情感。{MYP 62.1}[1]
告青年书-第16章
There is not an impulse of our nature, not a faculty of the mind or an inclination of the heart, but needs to be, moment by moment, under the control of the Spirit of God. There is not a blessing which God bestows upon man, nor a trial which he permits to befall him, but Satan both can and will seize upon it to tempt, to harass, and destroy the soul, if we give him the least advantage. Therefore however great one’s spiritual light, however much he may enjoy of the divine favor and blessing, he should ever walk humbly before the Lord, pleading in faith that God will direct every thought and control every impulse.{MYP 62.1}[1]
告青年书-第16章
凡自称敬虔的人,都有神圣的职责要保守自己的心灵,并在最厉害的刺激之下运用自制的能力。摩西身上所负的责任固然非常重大;而且少有人会遭受他那么厉害的试验;然而这并不足以原谅他的罪。上帝已经为祂的百姓作了充分的准备。他们如能依靠祂的力量,就决不至受环境的支配。因为不论试探多么强大,也不能作为原谅罪恶的藉口。不论我们所忍受的压力不论多么重,犯罪究竟还是我们自己的行动。地上或阴间所有的势力都不足以勉强任何人作恶。撒但固然要找出我们的弱点向我们进攻,但是我们仍然没有屈服的必要。我们所遭遇的袭击不管是多么强烈或凶猛,上帝已经为我们预备了充分的救援。我们靠祂的力量必能得胜。——《先祖与先知》第421页{MYP 62.2}[2]
告青年书-第16章
All who profess godliness are under the most sacred obligation to guard the spirit, and to exercise self-control under the greatest provocation. The burdens placed upon Moses were very great; few men will ever be so severely tried as he was; yet this was not allowed to excuse his sin. God has made ample provision for His people; and if they rely upon His strength, they will never become the sport of circumstances. The strongest temptation cannot excuse sin. However great the pressure brought to bear upon the soul, transgression is our own act. It is not in the power of earth or hell to compel anyone to do evil. Satan attacks us at our weak points, but we need not be overcome. However severe or unexpected the assault, God has provided help for us, and in His strength we may conquer.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 421.{MYP 62.2}[2]
