“你们查考圣经,因你们以为内中有永生。给我作见证的就是这经”(约5:39)。{UL 52.1}[1]

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.John 5:39.{UL 52.1}[1]

“你们当查考圣经。”这就是基督向我们说的话。若是有必要查考教父们的著作,基督原会这样告诉我们。可是这些教父们所说的都不相同。我们当如何取舍,选择哪一个作为我们的向导呢?我们不必依靠什么不明不确的事物。我们撇开教父们,而自上帝的圣言中学习有关祂的事。认识上帝,这就是永生。我们当因圣经是上帝所默示的圣言而怀存何等的感谢啊!古时的圣人被圣灵感动写下这圣言。上帝没有将祂的圣言交托世人凭着记忆力保存着,并藉口传的方式,一代又一代地流传下来。要是祂这么做了,祂的圣言必会逐渐加添了世人的意见。我们也就被迫接受非出自灵感的资料。让我们因上帝赐予写下的圣言而感谢祂吧。{UL 52.2}6MR175.3[2]

“Search the scriptures.” This is the word which comes to us from Christ. If it had been essential for us to search the [church] Fathers, Christ would have told us so. But the Fathers do not all speak the same thing. Which of them shall we choose as a guide? There is no need for us to trust to uncertainty. We pass by the Fathers to learn of God out of His Word. This is life eternal, to know God. Oh, how thankful we should be that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Holy men of old wrote this Word as they were moved by the Spirit. God did not leave His Word to be preserved in the memories of men and handed down from generation to generation by oral transmission and traditional unfolding. Had He done this, the Word would gradually have been added to by men. We would have been asked to receive that which is not inspired. Let us thank God for His written word.{UL 52.2}[2]

就圣言所写下的注释也不完全一致,往往互相冲突矛盾。上帝并不要我们接受它们引导。惟有祂的圣言是我们所当研讨的。人人都能为自己查考这圣言。他们也可确知这本宝书的教训是永不变更的。世人的意见相左,但圣经总是说一样的事。上帝的圣言是从亘古到永远的。{UL 52.3}[3]

The commentaries written about the Word do not all agree. Often they come into collision with one another. God does not ask us to be guided by them. It is His Word with which we have to deal. All can search this Word for themselves. And they may know that the teaching of this precious book is unchangeable. The opinions of human beings differ, but the Bible always says the same thing. The Word of God is from everlasting to everlasting.{UL 52.3}[3]

圣经的赐予并非单为传道人和有学问的人。无论男女老幼都当自己研读圣经。不要靠传道人替你诵读。圣经乃是上帝向你说的圣言。不论穷人富人,无学问或有学问者,都同样需要圣经。基督使祂的圣言如此清楚明白,读者决不会有什么误解。身居茅舍的村夫可研读而了解有史以来最智慧的教师的圣言,在君王、总督、政治家和世上最渊博的学者中间,也没有比祂大的。……{UL 52.4}[4]

The Bible was not given only for ministers and learned men. Every man, woman, and child should read the Scriptures for himself or herself. Do not depend on the minister to read it for you. The Bible is God’s Word to you. The poor man needs it as much as the rich man, the unlearned as much the learned. And Christ has made this Word so plain that in reading it no one need stumble. Let the humble cottager read and understand the Word given by the wisest Teacher the world has ever known, and among kings, governors, statesmen, and the world’s most highly educated men there is none greater than He....{UL 52.4}[4]

查考就是殷勤寻求那失去的东西。你们要亲自寻找隐藏的珍宝。不要把这项工作托付给传道人。你们担不起不明白上帝的圣言。要研究难懂的段落,逐节进行比较,这样你就会发现解释经文的经文。凡藉祷告研究圣经的人,会比还没有翻开圣经之前更有智慧。(《文稿》1901年12号,2月7日,“活水”){UL 52.5}[5]

To search means to look diligently for something which has been lost. Search yourself for the hidden treasure. Do not leave this work to the minister. You cannot afford to be ignorant of the Word of God. Study the difficult passages, comparing verse with verse, and you will find that Scripture is the key which unlocks Scripture. Those who prayerfully study the Scriptures go from their study wiser than when they opened the Bible.—Manuscript 12, February 7, 1901, “The Living Water.”{UL 52.5}[5]
