人,这是我的朋友(歌5:16)。 众人都称赞他,并希奇他口中所出的恩言(路4:22)。他教训他们,正像有权柄的人,不像他们的文士(太7:29)。 当用各样的智慧,把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里(西3:16)。圣灵的宝剑,就是 神的道(弗6:17)。 神的道是活泼的,是有功效的,比一切两刃的剑更快(来4:12)。我们争战的兵器,本不是属血气的,乃是在 神面前有能力,可以攻破坚固的营垒,将各样的计谋,各样拦阻人认识 神的那些自高之事一概攻破了,又将人所有的心意夺回,使他都顺服基督(林后10:4,5)。 Never man spake like this man。 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever。 — The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned; that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary。 — His mouth is most sweet: yea; he is altogether lovely。 This is my beloved; and this is my friend。 All bare him witness; and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth。 — He taught them as one having authority; and not as the scribes。 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom。 — The sword of the Spirit 。。。 is the word of God。 — The word of God is quick; and powerful; and sharper than any two…edged sword。 — The weapons of our warfare are not carnal; but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations; and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God; and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ。 JOHN 7:46。 Psa。 45:2。 …Isa。 50:4。 …Song 5:16。 Luke 4:22。 …Matt。 7:29。 Col。 3:16。 …Eph。 6:17。 …Heb。 4:12。 …II Cor。 10:4;5

恶人夸胜是暂时的(伯20:5)。 你要伤他的脚跟(创3:15)。现在却是你们的时候,黑暗掌权了(路22:53)。儿女既同有血肉之体,他也照样亲自成了血肉之体,特要藉着死,败坏那掌死权的,就是魔鬼(来2:14)。既将一切执政的、掌权的掳来,明显给众人看,就仗着十字架夸胜(西2:15)。务要谨守、儆醒,因为你们的仇敌魔鬼,如同吼叫的狮子,遍地游行,寻找可吞吃的人,你们要用坚固的信心抵挡它(彼前5:8,9)。务要抵挡魔鬼,魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了(雅4:7)。 恶人设谋害义人,又向他咬牙。主要笑他,因见他受罚的日子将要来到(诗37:12,13)。赐平安的 神,快要将撒但践踏在你们脚下(罗16:20)。魔鬼被扔在硫磺的火湖里,……他们必昼夜受痛苦,直到永永远远(启20:10)。 The triumphing of the wicked is short。
Thou shalt bruise his heel。 — This is your hour; and the power of darkness。 — As the children are partakers of
flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death; that is; the devil。 — Having spoiled principalities and powers; he made a shew of them openly; triumphing over them in it。 Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary the devil; as a roaring lion; walketh about seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith。 — Resist the devil; and he will flee from you。 The wicked plotteth against the just; and gnasheth upon him with his teeth。 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is ing。 — The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly。 — The devil 。。。 was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone 。。。 and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever。 JOB 20:5。 Gen。 3:15。 …Luke 22:53。 …Heb。 2:14。 …Col。 2:15。 I Pet。 5:8;9。 …Jas。 4:7。 Psa。 37:12;13。 …Rom。 16:20。 …Rev。 20:10。

小儿子就把他一切所有的都收拾起来,往远方去了。在那里任意放荡,浪费资财(路15:13)。 你们中间也有人从前是这样;但如今你们奉主耶稣基督的名,并藉着我们 神的灵,已经洗净、成圣、称义了(林前6:11)。 我们本为可怒之子,和别人一样。然而 神既有丰富的怜悯,因他爱我们的大爱,当我们死在过犯中的时候,便叫我们与基督一同活过来(你们得救是本乎恩)。他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活,一同坐在天上(弗2:3…6)。 不是我们爱 神,乃是 神爱我们,差他的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭,这就是爱了(约壹4:10)。 基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神的爱就在此向我们显明了。我们作仇敌的时候,且藉着 神儿子的死,得与神和好;既已和好,就更要因他的生得救了(罗5:8,10)。 The younger son took his journey into a far country; and there wasted his sub…stance with riotous living。 Such were some of you: but ye are washed; but ye are sanctified; but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus; and by the Spirit of our God。 — We 。。。 were by nature the children of wrath; even as others。 But God; who is rich in mercy; for his great love wherewith he loved us; even when we were dead in sins; hath quickened us together with Christ; (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together; and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus。 Herein is love; not that we loved God; but that he loved us; and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins。
God mendeth his love toward us; in that; while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us。 If; when we were enemies; we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more; being reconciled; we shall be saved by his life。 LUKE 15:13。 I Cor。 6:11。 …Eph。 2:3…6。 I John 4:10。 Rom。 5:8;10。

主怎样饶恕了你们,你们也要怎样饶恕人(西3:13)。 一个债主有两个人欠他的债:一个欠五十两银子,一个欠五两银子。因为他们无力偿还,债主就开恩免了他们两个人的债(路7:41,42)。我把你所欠的都免了。你不应当怜恤你的同伴,象我怜恤你吗(太18:32,33)? 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪你们,就当饶恕他,好叫你们在天上的父,也饶恕你们的过犯(可11:25)。所以,你们既是 神的选民,圣洁蒙爱的人,就要存怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕(西3:12,13)。 我弟兄得罪我,我当饶恕他几次呢?到七次可以吗?耶稣说:不是到七次,乃是到七十个七次(太18:21,22)。爱心就是连络全德的(西3:14)。 As Christ forgave you; so also do ye。 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence; and the other fifty。 And when they had nothing to pay; he frankly forgave them both。 — I forgave thee all that debt; shouldest not thou also have had passion on thy fellow…servant; even as I had pity on thee? When ye stand praying; forgive; if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses。 But if ye do not forgive; neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your tres…passes。 — Put on as the elect of God; holy and beloved; bowels of mercies; kindness; humbleness of mind; meekness; longsuffering; forbearing one another; and forgiving one another; if any man have a quarrel against any。 How oft shall my brother sin against me; and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him; I say not unto thee; Until seven times: but; until seventy times seven。 Charity 。。。 is the bond of perfectness。 COL。 3:13。 Luke 7:41;42。 …Matt。18:32;33。 Mark 11:25;26。 …Col。 3:12;13。 Matt。 18:21;22。 Col。 3:14。

于是起来,往他父亲那里去。相离还远,他父亲看见,就动了慈心,跑去抱着他颈项,连连与他亲嘴(路15:20)。
耶和华有怜悯,有恩典,不轻易发怒,且有丰盛的慈爱。他不长久责备,也不永远怀怒。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;东离西有多远,他叫我们的过犯离我们也有多远。父亲怎样怜
恤他的儿女,耶和华也怎样怜恤敬畏他的人(诗103:8…13)。 你们所受的不是奴仆的心,仍旧害怕;所受的乃是儿子的心,因此我们呼叫:阿爸,父!圣灵与我们的心同证我们是 神的儿女(罗8:15,16)。你们从前远离 神的人,如今却在基督耶稣里,靠着他的血,已经得亲近了。这样,你们不再作外人和客旅,是与圣徒同国,是神家里的人了(弗2:13,19)。 He arose; and came to his father。 But when he was yet a great way off; his father saw him; and ran; and fell on his neck; and kissed him。 The LORD is merciful and gracious; slow to anger; and plenteous in mercy。 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever。 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。 As far as the east is from the west; so far hath he removed our transgressions from us。 Like as a father pitieth his children; so the LORD pitieth them that fear him。 Ye have received the Spirit of adoption; whereby we cry; Abba; Father。 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit; that we are the children of God。 — Ye who sometime were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ。 — Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners; but fellow…citizens with the saints; and of the household of God。 LUKE 15:20。 Psa。 103:8…13。 Rom。 8:15;16。 …Eph。 2:13。 …Eph。 2:19。

看哪,我将一切都更新了(启2l:5)。 人若不重生,就不能见 神的国(约3:3)。若有人在基督里,他就是新造的人,旧事已过,都变成新的了(林后5:17)。 我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们里面。又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心(结36:26)。应当把旧酵除净,好使你们成为新团(林前5:7)。穿上新人,这新人是照着神的形象造的,有真理的仁义和圣洁(弗4:24)。 你必得新名的称呼,是耶和华亲口所起的(赛62:2)。 看哪,我造新天新地,从前的事不再被记念,也不再追想(赛65:17)。这一切既然都要如此销化,你们为人该当怎样圣洁、怎样敬虔(彼后3:11)。 Behold; I make all things new。 Except a man be born again; he cannot see the kingdom of God。 — If any man be in Christ; he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold; all things are bee new。
A new heart also will I give you; and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony hear
