八 此外，我们都必须从大卫学积极一面的功课，也要学消极一面的功课；肉体的情欲是个破坏的因素，会毁坏我们；若是大卫这样敬虔的人也会受引诱，我们怎能逃脱？—十一1~27，参提后二22，林前六13，18： |
H Furthermore, we all need to learn of David on the negative side as well as on the positive side; the lust of the flesh is a devastating element that can destroy us; if such a godly man as David could be seduced, how can we escape?—11:1-27; cf. 2 Tim. 2:22; 1 Cor. 6:13, 18: |
１ 不论我们在属灵追求上有多少成就，我们任何人仍然可能犯这样的罪；我们该在神面前，严肃地读这段记载；这记载警戒我们，放纵肉体是严重的事；大卫只因看一眼，就受了试诱，无法约束自己。 |
１ Regardless of our attainment in our spiritual pursuit, it is possible for any of us to commit such a sin; we should read this account seriously in the presence of God; this account warns us that the indulgence of the flesh is a serious thing; David was tempted simply by a glance, and then he failed to restrict himself. |
２ 众圣徒，特别是年轻人，应当省察自己的心，并在心中定大志，绝不走放纵肉体的路；（士五15~16；）我们必须说，“主耶稣，我爱你，我需要你，我接受你；”我们若这样说，祂就会成为我们的救主，和我们大能的救恩；作为那是灵的基督，祂能拯救、保守并保护我们，脱离这世代的污染，使我们能持守我们所得着的荣耀。 |
２ All the saints, especially the young ones, should search their hearts and make a strong resolution of heart never to go the way of the indulgence of the flesh (Judg. 5:15-16); we need to say, "Lord Jesus, I love You, I need You, and I receive You"; if we say this, He will be our Savior and our dynamic salvation; as the pneumatic Christ, He will save us, preserve us, and protect us from the contamination of this age, so that we may keep the glory that we have attained. |

提后二22 你要逃避青年人的私欲，同那清心呼求主的人，竭力追求公义、信、爱、和平。 士五15~16 …在流便的族系中，有心中定大志的。…在流便的族系中，有心中设大谋的。 大卫故意犯奸淫。…马太记载基督的家谱时，特意写着：“大卫从作过乌利亚妻子的生所罗门。”〔太一6下。〕这指明大卫所犯之罪的严重性。 我们必须从大卫学积极一面的功课，也要学消极一面的功课。肉体的情欲是个破坏的因素，会毁坏我们。若是大卫这样敬虔的人也会受引诱，我们怎能逃脱？人就是人，肉体就是肉体，情欲就是情欲。我们与异性之间该一直保持距离。青年男女不该私下在关闭的房间里与异性谈话。凡敬虔的人，在接触异性的事上都不该放松。不论我们在属灵追求上有多少成就，我们任何人仍然可能犯这样的罪。（撒母耳记生命读经，二六二、二六六页。） |
2 Tim. 2:22 But flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Judg. 5:15-16 …Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolutions in heart…. In the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. David…willingly committed adultery. In his record of Christ’s genealogy, Matthew purposely wrote, “David begot Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah” [Matt. 1:6b]. This indicates the seriousness of David’s sin. We need to learn of David on the negative side as well as on the positive side. The lust of the flesh is a devastating element that can destroy us. If such a godly man as David could be seduced, can we escape? Human beings are human beings, flesh is flesh, and lusts are lusts. We should always keep a distance between ourselves and those of the opposite sex. A young man or young woman should not talk privately with someone of the opposite sex in a closed room. No godly person should be loose in contacting the other sex. Regardless of our attainment in our spiritual pursuit, it is possible for any of us to commit such a sin. (Life-study of 1 & 2 Samuel, pp. 213, 216) |
