「我只怕你们的心或偏于邪，失去那向基督所存纯一清洁的心，就像蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃一样」（林后11：3）。{SD86.1}[1]

These Lessons We Must Also Learn
§5
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.?2 Corinthians 11:3.?{SD 86.1}[1]
§6
人如果在凡事上有淳朴习惯，控制自己的食欲和情欲，就可以保持自己智力的强健，活跃和精明，对事情作出迅速的思考与反应，锐利地辨别出圣洁与不圣洁，随时准备参加一切荣耀上帝与造福同胞的工作。{SD86.2}[2]
§7
He who will observe simplicity in all his habits, restricting the appetite and controlling the passions, may preserve his mental powers strong, active, and vigorous, quick to perceive everything which demands thought or action, keen to discriminate between the holy and the unholy, and ready to engage in every enterprise for the glory of God and the benefit of humanity.53?{SD 86.2}[2]
§8
小孩子要接受淳朴的教育。要教育他们满足于帮助别人的小责任，以及与他们的年龄相称的欢乐与经验。儿童就象比喻中的嫩苗。嫩苗有它自己特特的美。不要勉强小孩子早熟，要尽量保持他们童年的天真可爱。孩子的生活越安静朴素，越远离人间的吵闹，亲近大自然，就越有利于体力智力的健康和灵力的发展。{SD86.3}[3]
§9
The little ones should be educated in childlike simplicity. They should be trained to be content with the small, helpful duties and the pleasures and experiences natural to their years. Childhood answers to the blade in the parable, and the blade has a beauty peculiarly its own. Children should not be forced into a precocious maturity, but as long as possible should retain the freshness and grace of their early years. The more quiet and simple the life of the child—the more free from artificial excitement and the more in harmony with nature—the more favorable it is to physical and mental vigor and to spiritual strength.?{SD 86.3}[3]
§10
父母要以身作则，勉励孩子们养成朴素的习惯，吸引他们从矫揉造作转向淳朴自然。天真烂漫的孩子是最可爱的。{SD86.4}[4]
§11
Parents should by their example encourage the formation of habits of simplicity, and draw their children away from an artificial to a natural life. Those children are most attractive who are natural and unaffected.54?{SD 86.4}[4]
§12
人间最伟大的教师因淳朴而受人钦仰，因为祂传扬上帝真理的方式，连小孩子也能明白，同时祂也吸引了世界上最有学问，最有深度的思想家。祂用大家熟悉的比喻，向平民解释真理，用朴素的方法在听众的心里播撒福音真理的种子，让它发芽生长，结出永生的果实。{SD86.5}[5]
§13
The greatest Teacher the world ever knew was admired for His simplicity; for He presented divine truth in such a way that even children could comprehend His words, and at the same time He drew the attention of the best educated and deepest thinkers of the world. By the use of familiar illustrations He made truth plain to the minds of the common people. In simplicity He sowed the seed of the gospel truth in the minds and hearts of His hearers, and it sprang up and yielded a harvest unto everlasting life.55?{SD 86.5}[5]
§14
祂的荣耀体现在祂的淳朴里。{SD86.6}[6]
§15
His [Christ’s] glory was in His simplicity.56?{SD 86.6}[6]
