Chapter 3—Health Reform and the Third Angel’s Message
§3
犹如手臂之于身体
§4
97.1871年12月10日，我再一次得到指示，健康改良是为主复临预备一班人之大工的一部分。它与第三位天使的信息密切相关，就如手臂与身体一样。人们轻视十诫的律法，但主不会立时惩罚违犯律法的人，而不先给他们传一道警告的信息。第三位天使就是宣扬那条信息的。如果世人一直顺从十诫的律法，在生活上实行律法的原则，就不会有充满世界的疾病咒诅了。{CD 69.1}[1]
§5
As the Hand to the Body
§6
97. December 10, 1871, I was again shown that the health reform is one branch of the great work which is to fit a people for the coming of the Lord. It is as closely connected with the third angel’s message as the hand is with the body. The law of ten commandments has been lightly regarded by man; but the Lord would not come to punish the transgressors of that law without first sending them a message of warning. The third angel proclaims that message. Had men ever been obedient to the law of ten commandments, carrying out in their lives the principles of those precepts, the curse of disease now flooding the world would not be.—Testimonies for the Church 3:161, 162, 1873?{CD 69.1}[1]
§7
预备一班人
§8
人们放纵食欲和情欲，违犯自然律，就是干犯上帝的律法。所以主让健康改良的亮光照耀我们，使我们认识到自己干犯上帝设置在我们身体中之律法的罪。我们的一切快乐和痛苦，都可以追溯到我们顺从还是违犯自然律。我们慈悲的天父看到世人的惨境；他们有一些人是明知故犯，但许多人却是愚昧无知，过着干犯祂所设律法的生活。祂本着对世人的慈爱和怜悯，赐下健康改良的亮光。祂颁布祂的律法以及违法的处罚，使众人都知道，并小心在生活上顺从自然律。祂清楚地宣示祂的律法，就象城造在山上。凡是有责任感的人只要愿意，都可以明白它。只有白痴是不必负责的。说明自然律，劝人顺从它，是一项伴随着第三位天使信息的工作，要为主的降临预备一班人。{CD 69.2}[2]
§9
【To Prepare a People】
§10
Men and women cannot violate natural law by indulging depraved appetite and lustful passions, and not violate the law of God. Therefore He has permitted the light of health reform to shine upon us, that we may see our sin in violating the laws which He has established in our being. All our enjoyment or suffering may be traced to obedience or transgression of natural law. Our gracious heavenly Father sees the deplorable condition of men, who, some knowingly but many ignorantly, are living in violation of the laws that He has established. And in love and pity to the race, He causes the light to shine upon health reform. He publishes His law, and the penalty that will follow the transgression of it, that all may learn, and be careful to live in harmony with natural law. He proclaims His law so distinctly, and makes it so prominent, that it is like a city set on a hill. All accountable beings can understand it if they will. Idiots will not be responsible. To make plain natural law, and urge the obedience of it, is the work that accompanies the third angel’s message, to prepare a people for the coming of the Lord.?{CD 69.2}[2]
§11
亚当的失败与基督的胜利
§12
亚当夏娃因着放纵食欲而跌倒。基督来到世间，抵挡了撒但最猛烈的试探，为全人类的利益战胜了食欲，说明人类是可以得胜的。亚当怎样因食欲跌倒，丧失了极乐的伊甸园，亚当的儿女也可以照样藉着基督战胜食欲，通过凡事节制重得伊甸园。{CD 70.1}[3]
§13
【Adam’s Defeat—Christ’s Victory】
§14
Adam and Eve fell through intemperate appetite. Christ came and withstood the fiercest temptation of Satan, and, in behalf of the race, overcame appetite, showing that man may overcome. As Adam fell through appetite, and lost blissful Eden, the children of Adam may, through Christ, overcome appetite, and through temperance in all things regain Eden.?{CD 70.1}[3]
§15
助人辨识真理
§16
如今无知不能作为违背上帝律法的借口了。真光明亮地照耀，谁也不必蒙昧无知，因为伟大的上帝在亲自作人类的导师。人人都对上帝负有最为神圣的义务，留意上帝正在赐予他们的有关健康改良的健全理念和真实经验。祂定意要提倡健康改革这一伟大的主题，激起大众的心思来加以研究，因为男男女女若养成了破坏健康，损及头脑的有罪习惯，就不可能辨明神圣的真理了；这真理原能使他们成圣，变得文雅高尚，以适应在那荣耀的国度里与天使交往。……{CD 70.2}[4]
§17
【Aids in Discerning Truth】
§18
Ignorance is no excuse now for the transgression of law. The light shines clearly, and none need be ignorant, for the great God Himself is man’s instructor. All are bound by the most sacred obligations to God to heed the sound philosophy and genuine experience which He is now giving them in reference to health reform. He designs that the great subject of health reform shall be agitated, and the public mind deeply stirred to investigate; for it is impossible for men and women, with all their sinful, health-destroying, brain-enervating habits, to discern sacred truth, through which they are to be sanctified, refined, elevated, and made fit for the society of heavenly angels in the kingdom of glory....?{CD 70.2}[4]
§19
成圣或受惩罚
§20
使徒保罗劝诫教会说:“所以弟兄们，我以上帝的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是上帝所喜悦的；你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的”（罗12:1）。因此，罪恶的放纵使人的身体不再圣洁。若不圣洁，他们便不配成为属灵的敬拜者，也不配承受天国。人如果珍惜上帝本着怜悯赐给他有关健康改良的亮光，就会藉着真理成圣而配承受永生。但是他如果不理会这亮光，继续过违犯自然律的生活，就必自食其果。——(1873)3T161,162{CD 70.3}[5]
§21
【Sanctified or Punished】
§22
The apostle Paul exhorts the church, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Men, then, can make their bodies unholy by sinful indulgences. If unholy, they are unfitted to be spiritual worshipers, and are not worthy of heaven. If man will cherish the light that God in mercy gives him upon health reform, he may be sanctified through the truth, and fitted for immortality. But if he disregards that light, and lives in violation of natural law, he must pay the penalty.?{CD 70.3}[5]
§23
以利亚和约翰的工作
§24
98.多年以来，主一直在招呼祂的百姓注意健康改良。这是为人子降临作预备工作的一个主要的分支。施洗约翰本着以利亚的心志与能力，出去预备主的道路，使百姓转向义人的智慧。他是那些生存在这末日，蒙上帝委托神圣真理要传给民众，为基督的第二次显现预备道路之人的一个代表。约翰是一位改革家。天使加百列奉上天指示，给约翰的父母上了一堂关于健康改良的课，说他清酒浓酒都不该喝，从出生就要被圣灵充满。{CD 70.4}[6]
§25
Work of Elijah and John a Type
§26
98. For years the Lord has been calling the attention of His people to health reform. This is one of the great branches of the work of preparation for the coming of the?Son of man. John the Baptist went forth in the spirit and power of Elijah, to prepare the way of the Lord, and to turn the people to the wisdom of the just. He was a representative of those living in these last days, to whom God has entrusted sacred truths to present before the people, to prepare the way for the second appearing of Christ. John was a reformer. The angel Gabriel, direct from heaven, gave a discourse upon health reform to the father and mother of John. He said that he should not drink wine or strong drink, and that he should be filled with the Holy Ghost from his birth.?{CD 70.4}[6]
§27
约翰使自己与朋友和奢华的生活隔离。他服装的简朴——一件骆驼毛织成的衣服，对于当时犹太祭司以及一般民众的奢侈与炫耀，乃是一种经常的谴责。他的纯全素食——蝗虫和野蜜，对于到处流行的放纵食欲与贪吃暴饮，也是一种谴责。先知玛拉基宣告：“看哪，耶和华大而可畏之日未到以前，我必差遣先知以利亚到你们那里去：他必使父亲的心转向儿女，儿女的心转向父亲”（玛4:5,6）。先知在此描绘了工作的性质。那班要为基督复临预备道路的人，是由忠心的以利亚来代表的，正如约翰本着以利亚的心志来预备基督头一次降临的道路一样。{CD 71.1}[7]
§28
John separated himself from friends, and from the luxuries of life. The simplicity of his dress, a garment woven of camel’s hair, was a standing rebuke to the extravagance and display of the Jewish priests, and of the people generally. His diet, purely vegetable, of locusts and wild honey, was a rebuke to the indulgence of appetite, and the gluttony that everywhere prevailed. The prophet Malachi declares, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord; and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers.” Here the prophet describes the character of the work. Those who are to prepare the way for the second coming of Christ, are represented by faithful Elijah, as John came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for Christ’s first advent.?{CD 71.1}[7]
§29
改良的伟大主题要予以极力地提倡，民众的思想要加以激发。凡事节制当与这信息相联，使上帝的子民转离他们的偶像，他们的贪食暴饮，以及他们在衣着和其它事上的奢侈浪费。{CD 71.2}[8]
§30
The great subject of reform is to be agitated, and the public mind is to be stirred. Temperance in all things is to be connected with the message, to turn the people of God from their idolatry, their gluttony, and their extravagance in dress and other things.—Testimonies for the Church 3:61-64, 1872?{CD 71.2}[8]
§31
鲜明的对照
§32
要将上帝向祂特别引导赐福之人所要求的克己、谦卑和节制呈现在人们面前，与那些生存在这堕落世代之人的奢侈浪费，败坏健康的习惯形成对照。上帝已指明卫生改良与第三位天使的信息有着密切的关系，犹如手与身体的关系一样。身体与道德败坏的最重大原因，莫过于忽视这一非常重要的题目。那些放纵食欲和情欲的人，以及那些唯恐见到自己所不愿放弃的种种有罪放纵而闭眼不接受亮光的人，在上帝面前是有罪的。{CD 71.3}[9]
§33
【A Marked Contrast】
§34
The self-denial, humility, and temperance required of the righteous, whom God especially leads and blesses, is to be presented to the people in contrast to the extravagant, health-destroying habits of those who live in this degenerate age. God has shown that health reform is as closely connected with the third angel’s message as the hand is with the?body. There is nowhere to be found so great a cause of physical and moral degeneracy as a neglect of this important subject. Those who indulge appetite and passion, and close their eyes to the light for fear they will see sinful indulgences which they are unwilling to forsake, are guilty before God.?{CD 71.3}[9]
§35
人若在一件事上拒绝了亮光，就必硬起心来漠视那照在其它事上的亮光。人若在饮食和服装上违背道德责任，就会门户洞开，进而违背上帝有关永恒福利的要求。……{CD 72.1}[10]
§36
Whoever turns from the light in one instance hardens his heart to disregard the light upon other matters. Whoever violates moral obligations in the matter of eating and dressing, prepares the way to violate the claims of God in regard to eternal interests....?{CD 72.1}[10]
§37
上帝所引领的子民必定与众不同。他们不会象世人一样。然而他们若顺从上帝的引导，就必成全祂的美旨，使自己的意愿归服于祂的意愿。基督也必居住在他们心里。上帝的殿要圣洁。使徒说：“你们的身子就是圣灵的殿”（林前6:29）。{CD 72.2}[11]
§38
The people whom God is leading will be peculiar. They will not be like the world. But if they follow the leadings of God, they will accomplish His purposes, and will yield their will to His will. Christ will dwell in the heart. The temple of God will be holy. Your body, says the apostle, is the temple of the Holy Ghost.?{CD 72.2}[11]
§39
上帝没有要求祂的子民克己以致损害身体的力量。祂要求他们顺从自然律，保持身体健康。自然之道乃是上帝制定出来的，对于任何一个基督徒来讲，这条道路都足够宽阔。上帝用慷慨的手为我们提供了丰富多样的福惠供我们享用。然而，为了使我们享受自然的食欲，以便保持健康并延长寿命，上帝限制了这食欲。祂说：要当心；要约束、克制不自然的食欲。我们若造成了不正当的食欲，便违背了生存的定律，要为滥用自己的身体和招致疾病负责。——(1872)3T61-64{CD 72.3}[12]
§40
God does not require His children to deny themselves to the injury of physical strength. He requires them to obey natural law, to preserve physical health. Nature’s path is the road He marks out, and it is broad enough for any Christian. God has, with a lavish hand, provided us with rich and varied bounties for our sustenance and enjoyment. But in order for us to enjoy the natural appetite, which will preserve health and prolong life, He restricts the appetite. He says, Beware; restrain, deny, unnatural appetite. If we create a perverted appetite, we violate the laws of our being, and assume the responsibility of abusing our bodies and of bringing disease upon ourselves.?{CD 72.3}[12]
§41
健康工作应得其所
§42
99.许多人对于健康书报取漠不关心的态度，这是得罪上帝的。祂的旨意不是要把健康的工作与伟大的圣工分开。现代真理包含在健康改良的工作中，正如它包含在其它各方面的福音工作中一样。任何部门，若与其它的部门分开，都不能成为美满完全。{CD 72.4}[13]
§43
Give the Health Work its Place
§44
99. The indifference with which the health books have been treated by many is an offense to God. To separate the health work from the great body of the work is not in His order. Present truth lies in the work of health reform as verily as in other features of gospel work. No one branch, when separated from others, can be a perfect whole.?{CD 72.4}[13]
§45
健康的福音已有能干的倡导人士，但由于这许多的传道人、牧师、区会会长及其他有权有势的人们，对于健康改良问题没有给予适当的重视，以致使他们的工作非常困难。他们没有看出健康改良的工作与福音信息工作的关系犹如身体与右臂一样。虽然许多教友和一些传道人牧师们，对这部门的工作不甚重视，但主已对这工作表示关心，使其十分兴旺。{CD 73.1}[14]
§46
The gospel of health has able advocates, but their work has been made very hard because so many ministers, presidents of conferences, and others in positions of influence, have failed to give the question of health reform its proper attention. They have not recognized it in its relation to the work of the message as the right arm of the body. While very little respect has been shown to this department by many of the people, and by some of the ministers, the Lord has shown His regard for it by giving it abundant prosperity.?{CD 73.1}[14]
§47
健康改良的工作，若能善予进行，便是一种插入劈开的楔形物，可为其它的真理打开通达人心的门径。当第三位天使的信息被人完全充分地领受时，健康改良的道理也必在各区会的会议中，在教会的工作上，在家庭中，在餐桌上，在各种家务的安排上，得其所然。然后这右臂才会发挥其为身体服务并保护身体的功能。{CD 73.2}[15]
§48
When properly conducted, the health work is an entering wedge, making a way for other truths to reach the heart. When the third angel’s message is received in its fullness, health reform will be given its place in the councils of the conference, in the work of the church, in the home, at the table, and in all the household arrangements. Then the right arm will serve and protect the body.?{CD 73.2}[15]
§49
健康工作虽在第三天使信息的宣传方面占有重要的地位，但提倡的人却不可用各种方法，使之代替信息本身。——(1900)6T327{CD 73.3}[16]
§50
But while the health work has its place in the promulgation of the third angel’s message, its advocates must not in any way strive to make it take the place of the message.—Testimonies for the Church 6:327, 1900?{CD 73.3}[16]
§51
100.最初的背道最可悲的后果之一个就是人失去了自制的能力。只有重新获得了这种能力，才会有真正的进步。{CD 73.4}[17]
§52
Need for Self-Mastery
§53
100. One of the most deplorable effects of the original apostasy was the loss of man’s power of self-control. Only as this power is regained, can there be real progress.?{CD 73.4}[17]
§54
身体是发展心智和心灵以建造品格的唯一媒介。因此人类仇敌的试探便针对削弱和毁损人的体力。他若能在这方面取得成功，整个人就受恶势力控制了。我们肉体本性的各种倾向，若不受一种更高能力的管辖，就必造成毁灭和死亡。{CD 73.5}[18]
§55
The body is the only medium through which the mind and the soul are developed for the upbuilding of character. Hence it is that the adversary of souls directs his temptations to the enfeebling and degrading of the physical powers. His success here means the surrender to evil of the whole being. The tendencies of our physical nature, unless under the dominion of a higher power, will surely work ruin and death.?{CD 73.5}[18]
§56
人的身体要受到约束。要让人的高级机能来作主。情欲要受意志的支配，而意志本身则要受上帝的支配。要由上帝的恩典所洁净的理智，来掌管我们的生活。{CD 73.6}[19]
§57
The body is to be brought into subjection. The higher powers of the being are to rule. The passions are to be controlled by the will, which is itself to be under the control of God. The kingly power of reason, sanctified by divine grace, is to bear sway in our lives.?{CD 73.6}[19]
§58
我们必须深刻理解上帝的要求，认识到自制的本分，以及必须洁净和摆脱一切卑劣的嗜好和不洁的习惯。要认识到自己身心的一切机能，都是上帝所赐的，应当保持在最佳状态，为祂服务。——(1905)M.H.129,130{CD 74.1}[20]
§59
The requirements of God must be brought home to the conscience. Men and women must be awakened to the duty of self-mastery, the need of purity, freedom from every depraving appetite and defiling habit. They need to be impressed with the fact that all their powers of mind and body are the gift of God, and are to be preserved in the best possible condition for His service.—The Ministry of Healing, 129, 130, 1905?{CD 74.1}[20]
§60
传道人与平信徒协作同工
§61
101.传道工作的一个重要部分就是忠实地向人们传讲健康改良，因为它与第三位天使的信息相连，是同一工作的重要部分。他们自己应该实行健康改良，并应力劝所有自称相信真理的人都实行健康改良。——(1867)1T469,470{CD 74.2}[21]
§62
Ministers and People to Act in Concert
§63
101. One important part of the work of the ministry is to faithfully present to the people the health reform, as it stands connected with the third angel’s message, as a part and parcel of the same work. They should not fail to adopt it themselves, and should urge it upon all who profess to believe the truth.—Testimonies for the Church 1:469, 470, 1867?{CD 74.2}[21]
§64
102.我蒙指示，健康改良乃是第三位天使信息的一部分。它们的关系就象手臂与身体一样密切。我看到我们作为一班子民必须在这项大工上取得进步。传道人和平信徒必须一致行动。上帝的子民没有为第三位天使的大呼声作好准备。他们为自己有一项工作要做，是他们不该留给上帝去为他们做的。祂已把这项工作留给他们去做。这是一项个人的工作；谁也不能替别人做。——(1867)1T486{CD 74.3}[22]
§65
102. The health reform, I was shown, is a part of the third angel’s message, and is just as closely connected with it as are the arm and hand with the human body. I saw that we as a people must make an advance move in this great work. Ministers and people must act in concert. God’s people are not prepared for the loud cry of the third angel. They have a work to do for themselves which they should not leave for God to do for them. He has left this work for them to do. It is an individual work; one cannot do it for another.—Testimonies for the Church 1:486, 1867?{CD 74.3}[22]
§66
是信息的一部分，而非全部
§67
103.健康改良与第三个信息的工作密切相关，但它却不是那信息。我们的传道人应当教导人健康改良，但不应使之成为最主要的题目，来代替第三位天使的信息。它是启动预备性工作的题目之一，以应付这个信息所显示的大事。在这些题目中，它是十分重要的。我们应当热情拥护每一项改良工作，但也当避免给人一种印象，以为我们犹豫不决，或倾向狂热主义。——(1867)1T559{CD 74.4}[23]
§68
A Part of, but Not the Whole Message
§69
103. The health reform is closely connected with the work of the third message, yet it is not the message. Our preachers should teach the health reform, yet they should not make this the leading theme in the place of the message. Its place is among those subjects which set forth the preparatory work to meet the events brought to view by the message; among these it is prominent. We should take hold of every reform with zeal, yet should avoid giving the impression that we are vacillating, and subject to fanaticism.—Testimonies for the Church 1:559, 1867?{CD 74.4}[23]
§70
104.健康改良与第三位天使的信息有密切的联系，就像臂膀对于身体一样。但臂膀不能取代身体。宣扬第三位天使的信息，上帝的诫命和耶稣的见证是我们工作的重心。这信息将被大声宣扬至地极。健康原则的传播应与这信息相结合，但绝不能独立于它或取代它。——Letter57,1896{CD 75.1}[24]
§71
104. The health reform is as closely related to the third angel’s message as the arm to the body; but the arm cannot take the place of the body. The proclamation of the third angel’s message, the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus, is the burden of our work. The message is to be proclaimed with a loud cry, and is to go to the whole world. The presentation of health principles must be united with this message, but must not in any case be independent of it, or in any way take the place of it.—Letter 57, 1896?{CD 75.1}[24]
§72
与医疗机构的关系
§73
105.所设立的疗养院应与福音工作密不可分地相结合。主指示我们，福音必须传开；这福音包括各方面的健康改良工作。我们的工作就是要开导世人；因为他们不知道正在进行的运动，不知道为上帝允许即将降在世界的灾难作准备。上帝忠心的守望者必须发出警告。……{CD 75.2}[25]
§74
Its Relation to Medical Institutions
§75
105. The sanitariums which are established are to be closely and inseparably bound up with the gospel. The Lord has given instruction that the gospel is to be carried forward; and the gospel includes health reform in all its phases. Our work is to enlighten the world; for it is blind to the movements which are taking place, preparing the way for the plagues which God will permit to come upon the world. God’s faithful watchmen must give the warning....?{CD 75.2}[25]
§76
健康改良的工作，应当在传扬第三位天使的信息时更加突出。健康改良的原则记载在圣经之中。健康福音应当与传道工作紧密联系。主的旨意是要恢复健康改良的影响，使之成为最后大力宣扬福音信息的一部分。{CD 75.3}[26]
§77
Health reform is to stand out more prominently in the proclamation of the third angel’s message. The principles of health reform are found in the word of God. The gospel of health is to be firmly linked with the ministry of the word. It is the Lord’s design that the restoring influence of health reform shall be a part of the last great effort to proclaim the gospel message.?{CD 75.3}[26]
§78
我们的医生应当是上帝的工人。他们的能力应已藉着基督的恩典成圣和变化。他们的影响要与那应当传给世人的真理交织在一起。健康改良工作与传福音的工作完美地结合，将彰显上帝的大能。在福音的感化力之下，医疗布道工作将成就伟大的改革。然而医疗布道工作若与福音分开，圣工就必瘫痪。——MS23,1901{CD 75.4}[27]
§79
Our physicians are to be God’s workers. They are to be men whose powers have been sanctified and transformed by the grace of Christ. Their influence is to be knit up with the truth that is to be given to the world. In perfect and complete unity with the gospel ministry, the work of health reform will reveal its God-given power. Under the influence of the gospel, great reforms will be made by medical missionary work. But separate medical missionary work from the gospel, and the work will be crippled.—Manuscript 23, 1901?{CD 75.4}[27]
§80
106.我们的疗养院和教会可以达到更高尚更圣洁的标准。应当教导健康改良的道理，让我们的信徒实行。主正在呼吁健康改良原则的复兴。安息日复临信徒有一番特别的工作要做。他们要担任使者为帮助人的身心而服务。{CD 76.1}[28]
§81
106. Our sanitariums and our churches may reach a higher, holier standard. Health reform is to be taught and practiced by our people. The Lord is calling for a revival of the principles of health reform. Seventh-day Adventists have a special work to do as messengers to labor for the souls and bodies of men.?{CD 76.1}[28]
§82
基督对祂的子民说，“你们是世上的光。”我们是主所特定的子民，要传扬从天而来的真理。托付给人类最严肃最神圣的工作，就是向世人宣扬第一、第二，和第三位天使的信息。在我们的各大城市中，应当建立起医疗机构来为病人服务，并教导人健康改良的伟大原则。——Letter146,1909{CD 76.2}[29]
§83
Christ has said of His people, “Ye are the light of the world.” We are the Lord’s denominated people, to proclaim the truths of heavenly origin. The most solemn, sacred work ever given to mortals is the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel’s messages to our world. In our large cities there should be health institutes to care for the sick, and to teach the grand principles of health reform.—Letter 146, 1909?{CD 76.2}[29]
§84
107.我蒙指示：我们不要拖延在健康改革战线上所需要做的工作。通过这项工作，我们可以接触到大路小径上的人。——Letter203,1905{CD 76.3}[30]
§85
An Entering Wedge
§86
107. I have been instructed that we are not to delay to do the work that needs to be done in health reform lines. Through this work we are to reach souls in the highways and the byways.—Letter 203, 1905?{CD 76.3}[30]
§87
108.我看到上帝的天意让医疗布道工作成为一个伟大的切入点，藉此接触患病的人。——[TRACT](1893)C.H.535{CD 76.4}[31]
§88
108. I can see in the Lord’s providence that the medical missionary work is to be a great entering wedge, whereby the diseased soul may be reached.—[Tract]?Counsels on Health, 535, 1893?{CD 76.4}[31]
§89
消除成见----扩大影响
§90
109.若是更多关心健康改良，阻止第三位天使信息的真理感动人心的许多偏见就可消除。当人们对这个问题感兴趣时，就为其它真理的进入预备了道路。他们若见到我们在健康上很聪明，就会更容易相信我们在圣经要道上是纯正的。{CD 76.5}[32]
§91
To Remove Prejudice—Increase Influence
§92
109. Much of the prejudice that prevents the truth of the third angel’s message from reaching the hearts of the people, might be removed if more attention were given to health reform. When people become interested in this subject, the way is often prepared for the entrance of other truths. If they see that we are intelligent with regard to health, they will be more ready to believe that we are sound in Bible doctrines.?{CD 76.5}[32]
§93
主的这部分工作没有受到应有的注意，且因这种忽视而造成了许多损失。上帝正亲自藉着改革设法使教会适合祂的降临，若是教会愿意对改革表现更大的兴趣，他们的感化力就会比现在大得多。上帝已对祂的子民发言，祂希望他们听到和顺从祂的声音。健康改革虽然不是第三位天使信息，但它与第三位天使的信息是紧密相连的。传扬第三位天使信息的人也应该传讲健康改革。这是我们必须明白的一个题目，以便为就要临到我们的大事做好准备，健康改革应该拥有显著的地位。撒但及其爪牙正在设法拦阻这项改良的工作。他们将竭其所能使那些全力从事这项工作的人困惑和辛苦。但谁也不该因此灰心或停止努力。先知以赛亚提到这也是基督的特性之一：“祂不灰心，也不丧胆，直到祂在地上设立公理”（赛42.4）。祂的门徒不要谈论失败或灰心的事，而要记住为救人不至灭亡、反得永生而付的代价。——(1890)C.T.B.H.121,122{CD 76.6}[33]
§94
This branch of the Lord’s work has not received due attention, and through this neglect much has been lost. If the church would manifest a greater interest in the reforms?through which God Himself is seeking to fit them for His coming, their influence would be far greater than it now is. God has spoken to His people, and He designs that they shall hear and obey His voice. Although the health reform is not the third angel’s message, it is closely connected with it. Those who proclaim the message should teach health reform also. It is a subject that we must understand, in order to be prepared for the events that are close upon us, and it should have a prominent place. Satan and his agents are seeking to hinder this work of reform, and will do all they can to perplex and burden those who heartily engage in it. Yet none should be discouraged at this, or cease their efforts because of it. The prophet Isaiah speaks thus of one characteristic of Christ, “He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth.” Then let not His followers talk of failure or discouragement, but remember the price paid to rescue man that he might not perish, but have eternal life.—Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 121, 122, 1890?{CD 76.6}[33]
§95
110.健康改良的工作乃是主的方法，用来减轻人间的疾苦，并净化祂的教会。要教导人知道，他们能作上帝的助手，与那位“工长”合作恢复身体与灵性的健康。此种有上天印记的工作，将打开进入其它宝贵真理的门户。凡聪明地用心去从事这项工作的人，都有作工的机会。——(1909)9T112,113[34]
§96
110. The work of health reform is the Lord’s means for lessening suffering in our world and for purifying His church. Teach the people that they can act as God’s helping hand, by cooperating with the Master Worker in restoring physical and spiritual health. This work bears the signature of heaven, and will open doors for the entrance of other precious truths. There is room for all to labor who will take hold of this work intelligently.—Testimonies for the Church 9:112, 113, 1909?{CD 77.1}[34]
