Chapter 149—Wrong Forms of Courtship
告青年书-第165章
(引自给个人的证言)
你的品格中缺乏坚强与克制,会严重地妨碍你获得真正的、不象流沙般的宗教经验。你应当培养自己有坚定而正直的宗旨。这对于成功的基督徒生活来说是必不可少的。你如果心地正直,就不会偏离正义,也没有什么动机会使你偏离自己的本分。你必忠于上帝。恋爱与交友,不会使你离开真理和责任。你就不会因恋爱而牺牲自己的义务。{MYP 437.1}[1]
告青年书-第165章
[From a personal testimony.]
The lack of firmness and self-denial in your character is a serious drawback in obtaining a genuine religious experience that will not be sliding sand. Firmness and integrity of purpose should be cultivated. These qualities are positively necessary to a successful Christian life. If you have integrity of soul you will not be swayed from the right. No motive will be sufficient to move you from the straight line of duty; you will be loyal and true to God. The pleadings of affection and love, the yearnings of friendship, will not move you to turn aside from truth and duty; you will not sacrifice duty to inclination.{MYP 437.1}[1]
告青年书-第165章
我的弟兄阿,如果你受引诱与一位年轻幼稚,缺乏人生日常责任实际经验的女子结为终生伴侣,那就铸成大错了。更有甚者,她还不明白自己对于上帝的责任。她并非缺乏亮光,因她本享有宗教的特权,但她却没有感觉到自己离开基督的可怜罪况。{MYP 437.2}[2]
告青年书-第165章
If you, my brother, are allured to unite your life-interest with a young, inexperienced girl, who is really deficient in education in the common, practical, daily duties of life, you make a mistake; but this deficiency is small compared with her ignorance in regard to her duty to God. She has not been destitute of light; she has had religious privileges, and yet she has not felt her wretched sinfulness without Christ.{MYP 437.2}[2]
告青年书-第165章
【对宗教经验的影响】
你在恋爱的时候,如果一再缺席上帝与祂百姓相聚的祷告会,而与那不爱上帝,对宗教生活不感兴趣的人约会,你又怎能指望上帝成全这种结合呢?{MYP 437.3}[3]
告青年书-第165章
【Influence on Religious Experience】
If, in your infatuation, you can repeatedly turn from the prayer meeting, where God meets with His people, in order to enjoy the society of one who has no love for God, and who sees no attractions in?the religious life, how can you expect God to prosper such a union?{MYP 437.3}[3]
告青年书-第165章
不要操之过急。早婚是不宜提倡的。不论是男青年或是女青年,如果他们不尊重上帝的旨意,不注意宗教信仰对他们的要求,就不可能重视丈夫或妻子的需求。你多次放弃了宗教的特权和祷告的良辰,去与你的对象约会,这是很危险的。你正在蒙受不可弥补的损失。{MYP 438.1}[4]
告青年书-第165章
Be not in haste. Early marriages should not be encouraged. If either young women or young men have no respect for the claims of God, if they fail to heed the claims which bind them to religion, there will be danger that they will not properly regard the claims of the husband or of the wife. The habit of frequently being in the society of the one of your choice, and that, too, at the sacrifice of religious privileges and of your hours of prayer, is dangerous; you sustain a loss that you cannot afford.{MYP 438.1}[4]
告青年书-第165章
谈情说爱至深夜的习惯不蒙上帝所悦纳,即使你们俩都是基督徒。这种不合时宜的做法有损于健康,使你不能胜任次日的工作,容貌憔悴。我的弟兄,我希望你要自尊,避免这样的恋爱方式,你若专心仰望上帝的荣耀,就能谨慎行事,不会意乱情迷恩到看不清上帝对你这个基督徒的崇高要求。——《教会证言》卷三44,45页{MYP 438.2}[5]
告青年书-第165章
The habit of sitting up late at night is customary, but it is not pleasing to God, even if you are both Christians. These untimely hours injure health, unfit the mind for the next day’s duties, and have an appearance of evil. My brother, I hope you will have self-respect enough to shun this form of courtship. If you have an eye single to the glory of God, you will move with deliberate caution. You will not suffer lovesick sentimentalism to so blind your vision that you cannot discern the high claims that God has upon you as a Christian.—Testimonies for the Church 3:44, 45.{MYP 438.2}[5]
告青年书-第165章
【早婚】
早婚是不宜提倡的,象婚姻这种关系重大而影响深远的事,是不应当在智力和身体尚未充分发育以及毫无准备之时贸然进行的。——《服务真诠》358页{MYP 438.3}[6]
告青年书-第165章
【Early Marriages】
Early marriages are not to be encouraged. A relation so important as marriage and so far-reaching in its results should not be entered upon hastily, without sufficient preparation, and before the mental and physical powers are well developed.—The Ministry of Healing, 358.{MYP 438.3}[6]
