第16章 你们不是属于自己的
§2
Chapter 16—Ye Are Not Your Own
§3
我们时常听到这样的问题：我难道永远不能随心所欲？永远不能有自己的行为方式？永远要受到限制？永远不能按自己的心愿行事吗？{MYP 68.1}[1]
§4
We sometimes hear the questions: Am I never to do as I please? Am I never to have my own way? Am I always to be restrained? Can I never act in accordance with my inclinations??{MYP 68.1}[1]
§5
你越少随从自己本性的倾向，对自己和别人就越有好处。人类本性的倾向已然败坏了，天赋的才能已经被滥用了。撒但已使人与上帝为敌。他不断地破坏人身上的上帝形象。所以我们要约束自己的言行。{MYP 68.2}[2]
§6
The less you follow natural inclinations, the better it will be for yourself and for others. The natural inclinations have been perverted, the natural powers misapplied. Satan has brought man into collision with God. He works continually to destroy the divine image in man. Therefore we must place a restraint on our words and actions.?{MYP 68.2}[2]
§7
【完全献身的效果】
§8
上帝的恩典一旦控制了人心，就会把他先天和后天的不良倾向都钉在十字架上。接受新控制的新生命，必须从心中开始。所作的一切，都要为荣耀上帝而行。这种工作涉及到人的内心和外表。整个人，包括灵，魂和体，都必须顺从上帝，作义的器具为祂所用。{MYP 68.3}[3]
§9
【Results of Complete Consecration】
§10
When the grace of God takes possession of the heart, it is seen that the inherited and cultivated tendencies to wrong must be crucified. A new life, under new control, must begin in the soul. All that is done must be done to the glory of God. This work includes the outward as well as the inward man. The entire being, body, soul, and spirit, must be brought into subjection to God, to be used by Him as an instrument of righteousness.?{MYP 68.3}[3]
§11
属肉体的人不服上帝的律法，也是不能服。但重生的人却能凭着信心天天过基督的生活，天天表明自己意识到，他是属于上帝的。{MYP 68.4}[4]
§12
The natural man is not subject to the law of God; neither, indeed, of himself, can he be. But by faith he who has been renewed lives day by day the life of Christ. Day by day he shows that he realizes that he is God’s property.?{MYP 68.4}[4]
§13
人的身体和灵魂都是属于上帝的。祂赐下自己的儿子救赎世人，因此我们有权过新的生活，有一段宽容的时期可以培养完美忠诚的品格。上帝已经救赎我们脱离罪的奴役，使我们能度悔改更新的服务生活。{MYP 68.5}[5]
§14
Body and soul belong to God. He gave His Son for the redemption of the world, and because of this we have been granted a new lease of life, a probation?in which to develop characters of perfect loyalty. God has redeemed us from the slavery of sin, and has made it possible for us to live regenerated, transformed lives of service.?{MYP 68.5}[5]
§15
【我们一切的才能都属于祂】
§16
上帝的印盖在我们身上。祂已经买下了我们。祂要我们记住，我们的体力、智力和道德力都是属于祂的。我们的时间，影响，理智，情感和良知都是祂的，要按照祂的旨意使用。不要按照世界的指示运用这一切，因为世界的领袖是与上帝为敌的。{MYP 69.1}[6]
§17
【All Our Powers Belong to Him】
§18
God’s stamp is upon us. He has bought us, and He desires us to remember that our physical, mental, and moral powers belong to Him. Time and influence, reason, affection, and conscience, all are God’s, and are to be used only in harmony with His will. They are not to be used in accordance with the direction of the world; for the world is under a leader who is at enmity with God.?{MYP 69.1}[6]
§19
我们的心灵所居住的肉体是属于上帝的。每一块肌肉和筋骨都是祂的。我们绝不可因疏忽或滥用而削弱任何一个器官。我们应当与上帝合作，尽可能地保持身体的健康，使之成为圣灵所居住的殿，按照上帝的旨意塑造一切体力和灵力。{MYP 69.2}[7]
§20
The flesh, in which the soul tabernacles, belongs to God. Every sinew, every muscle, is His. In no case are we by neglect or abuse to weaken a single organ. We are to cooperate with God by keeping the body in the very best possible condition of health, that it may be a temple where the Holy Ghost may abide, molding, according to the will of God, every physical and spiritual power.?{MYP 69.2}[7]
§21
心中要怀藏纯洁的原则。要将真理铭刻在心版上。思想中要充满圣经宝贵的真理。这些真理就会像美丽的宝石那样，在生活中熠熠生辉。{MYP 69.3}[8]
§22
The mind must be stored with pure principles. Truth must be graven on the tablets of the soul. The memory must be filled with the precious truths of the Word. Then, like beautiful gems, these truths will flash out in the life.?{MYP 69.3}[8]
§23
【灵魂的价值】
§24
上帝为救赎人类所赐下的恩赐，显明了祂对于所造人类的重视，和祂对于祂儿女的慈爱。亚当曾落在撒但的权下，把罪恶带到世界，而死亡又是从罪来的。上帝赐下祂的独生子来拯救人类。祂这样作，证明了自己的公义，也称一切接受基督的人为义。人把自己卖给了撒但，耶稣却把全人类买了回来。……{MYP 69.4}[9]
§25
【The Price of a Soul】
§26
The value that God places on the work of His hands, the love He has for His children, is revealed by the gift He made to redeem men. Adam fell under the dominion of Satan. He brought sin into?the world, and death by sin. God gave His only-begotten Son to save man. This He did that He might be just, and yet the justifier of all who accept Christ. Man sold himself to Satan, but Jesus bought back the race....?{MYP 69.4}[9]
§27
你不是自己的人。耶稣已经用祂的血买了你。不要将你的才干埋在地里，而要为祂所用。你无论作什么工作，都要与耶稣相伴。如果发觉自己渐渐丧失了爱你救主的心，就要放下你的工作，说，“救主啊，我在这里，祢要我作什么？”祂必定开恩接纳你，以大爱爱你。祂会广行宽恕，因为祂有怜悯和长久的忍耐，不愿一个人灭亡。……{MYP 70.1}[10]
§28
You are not your own. Jesus has purchased you with His blood. Do not bury your talents in the earth. Use them for Him. In whatever business you may be engaged, bring Jesus into it. If you find that you are losing your love for your Saviour, give up your business, and say, “Here I am, Saviour; what wilt Thou have me to do?” He will receive you graciously, and love you freely. He will abundantly pardon; for He is merciful and long-suffering, not willing that any should perish....?{MYP 70.1}[10]
§29
我们和我们的一切都属于上帝。把心中的爱献给祂，不是应视为一种牺牲。要把自己的心当作乐意的祭物献给祂。——1900年11月8日《青年导报》{MYP 70.2}[11]
§30
We, and all that we have, belong to God. We should not regard it as a sacrifice to give Him the affection of our hearts. The heart itself should be given to Him as a willing offering.—The Youth’s Instructor, November 8, 1900.?{MYP 70.2}[11]
§31
【要作出决定】
§32
我们念念不忘屈从撒但的建议所带来的好处是很危险的。罪恶对于对于每一个放纵的人来说，乃是耻辱与祸患。罪在本质带有欺骗性，并使人盲目。它会用花言巧语来引诱我们。我们如果冒险进入撒但的境地，就失去了摆脱他权势的保障，所以我们应当尽力堵塞试探者可能侵袭我们的每一条通道。——《山边宝训》171页{MYP 70.3}[12]
§33
【Decision Called For】
§34
It is not safe for us to linger to contemplate the advantages to be reaped through yielding to Satan’s suggestions. Sin means dishonor and disaster to every soul that indulges in it; but it is blinding and deceiving in its nature, and it will entice us with flattering presentations. If we venture on Satan’s ground, we have no assurance of protection from his power. So far as in us lies, we should close every avenue by which the tempter may find access to us.—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 118.?{MYP 70.3}[12]
