林前6:20)。 但我断不以别的夸口,只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架。因这十字架,就我而论,世界已经钉在十字架上;就世界而论,我已经钉在十字架上。受割礼不受割礼都无关紧要,要紧的就是作新造的人(加6:14,15)。所以你们该效法 神,好象蒙慈爱的儿女一样。也要凭爱心行事,正如基督爱我们,为我们舍了自己,当作馨香的供物和祭物献与 神。至于淫乱并一切污秽,或是贪婪,在你们中间连提都不可,方合圣徒的体统。如今在主里面是光明的,行事为人就当象光明的子女(弗5:1…3,8)。 A new name。 The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch。 — Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity。 — They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts。 — Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body; and in your spirit; which are God's。 God forbid that I should glory; save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified unto me; and I unto the world。 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing; nor uncircumcision; but a new creature。 Be ye 。。。 followers of God; as dear children; and walk in love; as Christ also hath loved us; and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour。 But fornication; and all uncleanness; or covet…ousness; let it not be once named among you; as beeth saints。 Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light。 REV。 2:17。 Acts 11:26。 …II Tim。 2:19。 …Gal。 5:24。 …I Cor。 6:20。 Gal。 6:14;15。 Eph。 5:1…3;8。

看哪, 神的羔羊(约l:29)。 公牛和山羊的血断不能除罪。所以,基督到世上来的时候,就说: 神啊,祭物和礼物是你不愿意的,你曾给我预备了身体,燔祭和赎罪祭是你不喜欢的。那时我说: 神啊,我来了,为要照你的旨意行,我的事在经卷上已经记载了(来10:4…7)。他被欺压,在受苦的时候却不开口,他像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地,又像羊在剪毛的人手下无声,他也是这样不开口(赛53:7)。 你们得赎,不是凭着能坏的金银等物,乃是凭着基督的宝血,如同无瑕疵、无玷污的羔羊之血。基督在这末世,才为你们显现。你们也因着他信 神,叫你们的信心和盼望都在于 神(彼前1:18…21)。
曾被杀的羔羊是配得权柄、丰富、智慧、能力、尊贵、荣耀、颂赞的(启5:12)。 Behold the Lamb of God。 It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins。 Wherefore when he eth into the world; he saith; Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure。 Then said I; Lo; I e (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will; O God。 — He was oppressed; and he was afflicted; yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb; so he openeth not his mouth。 Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things; as silver and gold; 。。。 but with the precious blood of Christ; as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 。。。 manifest in these last times for you who by him do believe in God 。。。 that your faith and hope might be in God。 Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power; and riches and wisdom; and strength; and honour; and glory; and blessing。 JOHN 1:29。 Heb。 10:4…7。 …Isa。 53:7。 I Pet。 1:18…21。 Rev。 5:12。

我却要常常盼望,并要越发赞美你(诗71:14)。 这不是说我已经得着了,已经完全了(腓3:12)。所以,我们应当离开基督道理的开端,竭力进到完全的地步,不必再立根基,就如那懊悔死行、信靠 神(来6:1)。但义人的路好象黎明的光,越照越明,直到日午(箴4:18)。 我爱耶和华,因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。他既向我侧耳,我一生要求告他(诗116:1,2)。我要时时称颂耶和华,赞美他的话必常在我口中(诗34:1)。 神啊,锡安的人都等候赞美你(诗65:1)。它们昼夜不住地说:圣哉,圣哉,圣哉,主 神是全能者(启4:8)。凡以感谢献上为祭的,便是荣耀我(诗50:23)。要常常喜乐,不住的祷告,凡事谢恩,因为这是 神在基督耶稣里向你们所定的旨意(帖前5:16…18)。你们要靠主常常喜乐;我再说,你们要喜乐(腓4:4)。 I will hope continually; and will yet praise thee more and more。 Not as though I had already attained; either were already perfect。 — Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ; let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works; and of faith toward God。 — The path of the just is as the shining light; that shineth more and more unto the perfect day。
I love the LORD; because he hath heard my voice and my supplications。 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live。 — I will bless the LORD all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth。
Praise waiteth for thee; O God; in Sion。 — They rest not day and night; saying; Holy; holy; holy; Lord God Almighty。 — Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me。 — Rejoice evermore。 Pray without ceasing。 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you。 — Rejoice in the Lord; always; and again I say; Rejoice。 PSA。 71:14。 Phi。 3:12。 …Heb。 6:1。 …Prov。 4:18。 Psa。 116:1;2。 …Psa。 34:1。 Psa。 65:1。 …Rev。 4:8。 …Psa。 50:23。 …I Thes。 5:16…18。 …Phi。 4:4。

只要你们想念他向你们所行的事何等大(撒上12:24)。 因你耶和华藉着你的作为叫我高兴,我要因你手的工作欢呼(诗92:4)。你要记念耶和华你的 神在旷野引导你这四十年,是要苦炼你、试验你,要知道你心内如何,肯守他的诚命不肯。你当心里思想,耶和华你 神管教你,好像人管教儿子一样(申8:2,5)。 耶和华啊,我知道你的判语是公义的,你使我受苦是以诚实待我。我受苦是与我有益,为要使我学习你的律例。我未受苦以先走迷了路,现在却遵守你的话(诗119:75,7l,67)。耶和华虽严严的惩治我,却未曾将我交于死亡(诗118:18)。他没有按我们的罪过待我们,也没有照我们的罪孽报应我们。天离地何等的高,他的慈爱向敬畏他的人也是何等的大;因为他知道我们的本体,思念我们不过是尘土(诗103:10,11,14)。 Consider how great things He hath done for you。 Thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness; to humble thee; and to prove thee; to know what was in thine heart; whether thou wouldest keep his mandments; or no。 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart; that; as a man chasteneth his son; so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee。 I know; O LORD; that thy judgments are right; and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me。 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes。 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word。 — The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death。 — He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities。 For as the heaven is high above the earth; so great is his mercy toward them that fear him。 He knoweth our frame; he remem…bereth that we are dust。 I SAM。 12:24。 Deut。 8:2;5。 Psa。 119:75;71;67。 …Psa。 118:18。 …Psa。 103:10;11;14。

等候所盼望的福,并等候至大的 神和我们救主基督的荣耀显现(多2:13)。
我们有这指望,如同灵魂的锚,又坚固、又牢靠,
且通入幔内。作先锋的耶稣,成了永远的大祭司,就为我们进入幔内(来6:19,20)。天必留他,等到万物复兴的时候(徒3:21)。这正是主降临,要在他圣徒身上得荣耀,又在一切信的人身上显为希奇的那日子(帖后1:10)。一切受造之物一同叹息、劳苦,直到如今。不但如此,就是我们也是自己心里叹息,等候得着儿子的名份,乃是我们的身体得赎(罗8:22,23)。亲爱的弟兄啊,我们现在是 神的儿女,将来如何还未显明;但我们知道,主若显现,我们必要像他,因为必得见他的真体(约壹3:2)。基督是我们的生命,他显现的时候,你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里(西3:4)。 是了,我必快来。阿门!主耶稣啊,我愿你来(启22:20)! That blessed hope; 。。。 the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ。 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul; both sure and stedfast; and which entereth into that within the veil: whither the forerunner is for us en…tered; even Jesus。 — Whom the heaven must receive until the times of resti…tution of all things。 — When he shall e to be glorified in his saints; and to be admired in all them that believe。 The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now。 And not only they; but ourselves also; 。。。 groan within ourselves; waiting for the adoption; to wit; the redemption of our body。 — Beloved; now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that; when he shall appear; we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is。 — When Christ; who is our life; shall appear; then shall ye also appear with him in glory。 Surely I e quickly。 Amen。 Even so; e; Lord Jesus。 TIT。 2:13。 Heb。 6:19;20。 …Acts 3:21。 …II Thes。 1:10。 Rom。 8:22;23。 …I John 3:2。 …Col。 3:4。 Rev。 22:20。

凡遵守主道的,爱 神的心在他里面实在是完全的(约壹2:5)。 但愿赐平安的 神,就是那凭永约之血使群羊的大牧人,我主耶稣从死里复活的 神,在各样善事上成全你们,叫你们遵行他的旨意,又藉着耶稣基督在你们心里行他所喜悦的事。愿荣耀归给他,直到永永远远。阿门(来13:20,21)! 我们若遵守他的诫命,就晓得是认识他(约壹2:3)。人若爱我,就必遵守我的道,我父也必爱他,并且我们要到他那里去,与他同住(约14:23)。凡住在他里面的,就不犯罪;凡犯罪的,是未曾看见他,也未曾认识他。小子们哪,不要被人诱惑。行义的才是义人,正如主是义的一样(约壹3:6,7)。 爱在我们里面得以完全,我们就可以在审判的日子坦然无惧。因为他如何,我们在这世上也如何(约壹4:17)。 Whoso keepeth his word; in him verily is the love of God perfected。 The God of peace; that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus; that great shepherd of the s
