“我知道世人，莫强如终身喜乐行善”（传3:12）。{ML 166.1}[1]
§4
Highways to Happiness
§5
I know that there is no good ... but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.?Ecclesiastes 3:12.?{ML 166.1}[1]
§6
青年人也许以为寻欢作乐可以获得幸福，但他们这样作永远得不到真正的幸福。救主在世时并不求自已的喜悦。我们从圣经里读到：“祂周流四方行善事”（徒10:38），毕生都从事爱心的服务，安慰伤心的人，照顾贫穷的人，扶起被压下的人。祂在世上没有家，只有好心的朋友把祂当作客旅款待。然而有祂的同在，就是天国降临。祂天天遭逢试炼和试探，却既不灰心也不丧胆。……祂始终忍耐而且乐观，受苦的人拥戴祂为生命、平安和健康的使者。……{ML 166.2}[2]
§7
The youth may think to find happiness by seeking their own pleasure, but true happiness will never be theirs while they pursue this course. The Saviour lived not to please Himself. We read of Him that He went about “doing good.” He spent His life in loving service, comforting the sorrowing, ministering to the needy, lifting up the bowed down, He had no home in this world, only as the kindness of His friends provided one for Him as a wayfarer. Yet it was heaven to be in His presence. Day by day He met trials and temptations, yet He did not fail or become discouraged.... He was always patient and cheerful, and the afflicted hailed Him as a messenger of life and peace and health....?{ML 166.2}[2]
§8
基督在祂毕生的工作中给我们留下了何等伟大的榜样啊！祂儿女中有谁像祂一样为上帝的荣耀而生活呢？祂是世上的光，凡为主成功地做工的人，必须从祂神圣的人生点燃自己的烛光。{ML 166.3}[3]
§9
What a wonderful example Christ has left for us in His lifework. Who of His children are living, as He did, for the glory of God? He is the Light of the world, and the one who works successfully for the Master must kindle his taper from that divine life.?{ML 166.3}[3]
§10
基督对祂的门徒们说：“你们是世上的盐；盐若失了味，怎能叫它再咸呢？以后无用，不过丢在外面，被人践踏了”（太5:13）。因而我们应当多么谨慎地效法基督的榜样啊。否则，我们就毫无价值──如同那失了味的盐一般。{ML 166.4}[4]
§11
To His disciples Christ said, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” How careful, then, we should be to follow the example of Christ. Unless we do this we are worthless—salt which has lost its savor.?{ML 166.4}[4]
§12
我们惟有效法基督的榜样才能找到真正的幸福。人若接受了基督，他的心就会顺服，其宗旨也发生了变化。（YI.1901.8.22）{ML 166.5}[5]
§13
Only by following Christ’s example can we find true happiness. When He is accepted the heart is subdued and its purposes are changed.37?{ML 166.5}[5]
§14
祂的服务所加给你的约束，都是要增进你的幸福。你若服从祂的要求，就必得到平安，满足和快乐。这是你在罪恶的道路上永远找不到的。（RH.1884.8.26）{ML 166.6}[6]
§15
His service will place upon you no restriction that will not increase your happiness. In complying with His requirements, you will find a peace, contentment, and enjoyment that you can never have in the path of ... sin.38?{ML 166.6}[6]
