希伯来的信徒必须望断他们环境中一切的事物，望断他们老旧的宗教—犹太教，望断犹太教的逼迫，望断一切属地的事物，好望断以及于，以达到这位现今在诸天之上，坐在神宝座右边的耶稣—一3。
The Hebrew believers had to look away from all the things in their environment, away from their old religion, Judaism, and its persecution, and away from all earthly things, that they might look unto Jesus, who is now seated on the right hand of the throne of God in the heavens—1:3.

我们要享受天上的基督（3），就需要望断一切地上的事物，而及于祂。
If we would enjoy the heavenly Christ (v. 3), we need to look away from all things on earth unto Him.

奇妙的耶稣，在天上登了宝座，并得了荣耀尊贵为冠冕（二9），祂是宇宙中最大的吸引。

五
我们乃是受祂迷人的美丽所吸引，才望断祂以外一切的事物，使我们凭着忍耐，奔那摆在我们前头的赛程—十二1下。
It is by being attracted by His charming beauty that we look away from all things other than Him so that we may run with endurance the race which is set before us—12:1b.

基督徒的一生就是一个赛程；每一个得救的基督徒都必须奔跑这赛程，好赢得奖赏—林前九24：
The Christian life is a race; every saved Christian must run the race to win the prize—1 Cor. 9:24:
The Christian life is a race; every saved Christian must run the race to win the prize—1 Cor. 9:24:
一
这奖赏不是指一般的救恩，乃是指特别的赏赐—24节，弗二8~9，林前三14~15。
The prize is not salvation in a common sense but a reward in a special sense—v. 24; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Cor. 3:14-15.
The prize is not salvation in a common sense but a reward in a special sense—v. 24; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Cor. 3:14-15.

The apostle Paul ran the race and won the prize—9:26-27; Phil. 3:13-14; 2 Tim. 4:7-8:
The apostle Paul ran the race and won the prize—9:26-27; Phil. 3:13-14; 2 Tim. 4:7-8:
１
重担乃是重量、负担或障碍；赛跑的人脱去各样不必要的重量，各样缠累人的重担，使他们没有障碍，以赢得竞赛。
An encumbrance is a weight, burden, or impediment; the runners of the race strip off every unnecessary weight, every encumbering burden, that nothing may impede them from winning the race.

２
希伯来十二章中独一的、缠累人的罪，乃是故意犯的罪，指停止与圣徒们的聚集，放弃神经纶中新约的路，以及回到犹太教去—十25~26。
The unique entangling sin in Hebrews 12 was the willful sin of forsaking the assembling together with the saints, of giving up the new covenant way in God’s economy, and of going back to Judaism—10:25-26.

３
重担和缠累人的罪，都会阻挠并限制希伯来的信徒，使他们不能在新约的路上跟从耶稣，奔跑那属天的赛程。
Both the encumbering weight and the entangling sin would have frustrated the Hebrew believers and restrained them from running the heavenly race in the new covenant way of following Jesus.
Both the encumbering weight and the entangling sin would have frustrated the Hebrew believers and restrained them from running the heavenly race in the new covenant way of following Jesus.
４
我们需要凭着忍耐奔跑，求主引导我们的心，进入神的爱以爱神，并进入基督的忍耐以忍耐—帖后三5：
We need to run with endurance, asking the Lord to direct our hearts into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ—2 Thes. 3:5:
We need to run with endurance, asking the Lord to direct our hearts into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ—2 Thes. 3:5:

这爱，即我们对神的爱，出自那已经浇灌在我们心里之神的爱—约壹四19，罗五5。
The love is our love toward God, issuing from the love of God that has been poured out in our hearts—1 John 4:19; Rom. 5:5.

信徒的信实际上不是他们自己的信，乃是基督进到他们里面作他们的信—罗三22，加二16：

３
那叫我们得救的信，乃是我们从主所得宝贵的信，就是神所分给的信—彼后一1，西一12。

The faith by which we are saved is the precious faith that we have received from the Lord, the God-allotted faith—2 Pet. 1:1; Col. 1:12
４
当我们望断以及于耶稣，祂这赐生命的灵（林前十五45下）就将祂自己，将祂信的成分，灌输到我们里面。
When we look away unto Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b) transfuses us with Himself, with His believing element.
When we look away unto Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b) transfuses us with Himself, with His believing element.
５
这信不是出于我们自己，乃是出于那将自己作信的成分，分赐到我们里面，替我们信者的。
This faith is not of ourselves but of Him who imparts Himself as the believing element into us that He may believe for us.
This faith is not of ourselves but of Him who imparts Himself as the believing element into us that He may believe for us.
二
信是一种质实的能力，是“第六个感官”，我们乃是凭这官能，把未见之事或所望之事质实出来，就是把这些事的本质，质成现实—来十一1：
Faith is a substantiating ability, a “sixth sense,” the sense by which we substantiate, give substance to, the things unseen or hoped for—Heb. 11:1:

２
我们五官的作用是质实外面世界的东西，把一切客观的东西搬到我们里面来，成为我们主观的经历。

３
就像眼睛之于视觉，耳朵之于听觉，鼻子之于嗅觉一样，信心—我们信心的灵—乃是我们将看不见之属灵世界里的一切，质实到我们里面的器官—林后四13：
As the eye is to seeing, the ear is to hearing, and the nose is to smelling, so faith, our spirit of faith, is the organ whereby we substantiate everything in the unseen spiritual world to us—2 Cor. 4:13:
As the eye is to seeing, the ear is to hearing, and the nose is to smelling, so faith, our spirit of faith, is the organ whereby we substantiate everything in the unseen spiritual world to us—2 Cor. 4:13:

We must exercise our spirit of faith, our mingled spirit, to believe and to speak the things that we have experienced of the Lord.
We must exercise our spirit of faith, our mingled spirit, to believe and to speak the things that we have experienced of the Lord.
ｂ
信心是在我们那与圣灵调和的灵里，不是在我们的心思里；怀疑才是在我们的心思里。
Faith is in our spirit, which is mingled with the Holy Spirit, not in our mind; doubts are in our mind.
Faith is in our spirit, which is mingled with the Holy Spirit, not in our mind; doubts are in our mind.
４
我们不是顾念、注视所见并暂时的，乃是顾念、注视所不见并永远的—18节：
We do not regard, look at, the things which are seen and temporary but the things which are not seen and eternal—v. 18:

三
我们所有的信在质的一面都是同样的，但这信的量有多少，乃在于我们有多少接触活的神，使祂得以在我们里面增长—罗十二3：
We all have the same faith in quality, but the quantity of faith we have depends upon how much we contact the living God so that we may have Him increased in us—Rom. 12:3:
