Chap. 21—Health Reform and the Third Angel’s Message
§3
若是更多关心健康改良，阻止第三位天使信息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。{TSDF 87.4}[1]
§4
Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 121-122
§5
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.?{TSDF 87.4}[1]
§6
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。（CTBH 121，122）{TSDF 87.5}[2]
§7
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.?{TSDF 87.5}[2]
§8
传道人和平信徒都必须在改革的工作上作出更大的进步。他们应该毫不迟延地开始纠正自己错误的饮食、着装和工作习惯。我看到相当多的传道人在这个重要问题上没有醒悟。他们并不都在上帝原要他们处在的地步。（1T 466）{TSDF 87.6}[3]
§9
Testimonies for the Church 2:537-538;?Testimonies for the Church 1:466
§10
Ministers and people must make greater advancement in the work of reform. They should commence without delay to correct their wrong habits of eating, drinking, dressing, and working. I saw that quite a number of the ministers are not awake upon this important subject. They are not all where God would have them.?{TSDF 87.6}[3]
§11
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。（1T 469）{TSDF 87.7}[4]
§12
Testimonies for the Church 1:469-470
§13
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.?{TSDF 87.7}[4]
§14
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。（1T 486）?{TSDF 87.8}[5]
§15
Testimonies for the Church 1:486
§16
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 can not do it for another.?{TSDF 87.8}[5]
§17
健康改良乃是上帝造福祂子民特别工作的一个部门。（1T 560）{TSDF 88.1}[6]
§18
Testimonies for the Church 1:560
§19
The health reform is a branch of the special work of God for the benefit of His people.?{TSDF 88.1}[6]
§20
健康改良与福音有密切的联系，就像臂膀对于身体一样。但臂膀不能取代身体。宣扬福音的信息、上帝的十诫和耶稣的见证是我们工作的重心。这信息将被大声宣扬，且要传到全世界。健康原则的传播应与这信息相结合，但绝不能取代它，或独立于它。（Letter 1896.57）{TSDF 88.2}[7]
§21
Letter 57, 1896
§22
Health reform is as closely related to the gospel as the arm is to the body; but the arm can not take the place of the body. The proclamation of the gospel message, the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus, is the burden of our work. This message is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and is to go to the whole world. The presentation of health principles is to be united with the proclamation of this message, but it is not in any way to take the place of it, or be independent of it.?{TSDF 88.2}[7]
§23
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。（1T.559）{TSDF 88.3}[8]
§24
Testimonies for the Church 1:559
§25
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.?{TSDF 88.3}[8]
§26
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。（3T 62）{TSDF 88.4}[9]
§27
Testimonies for the Church 3:62
§28
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.?{TSDF 88.4}[9]
§29
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发生的运动，不知道为上帝允许即将降在世界的灾难预备道路。上帝忠心的守望者必须发出警告。……{TSDF 88.5}[10]
§30
Manuscript 23, 1901
§31
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....?{TSDF 88.5}[10]
§32
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。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，圣工就必残废。（MS 1901.23）{TSDF 88.6}[11]
§33
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. 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.?{TSDF 88.6}[11]
§34
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。{TSDF 88.7}[12]
§35
Letter 146, 1909
§36
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.?{TSDF 88.7}[12]
§37
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。（Letter 1909.146）{TSDF 88.8}[13]
§38
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.?{TSDF 88.8}[13]
§39
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。{TSDF 88.9}[14]
§40
Testimonies for the Church 3:161
§41
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.?{TSDF 88.9}[14]
§42
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。（3T 161）{TSDF 88.10}[15]
§43
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.?{TSDF 88.10}[15]
§44
改革的进展在于对基本真理的清晰认识。现在一方面的危险是固执狭隘、墨守成规。另一方面的危险是自由散漫。一切持久改革的基础是上帝的律法。要清清楚楚地说明顺从上帝律法的需要，把律法的原则告诉人们。这些原则与上帝本身一样是永恒不变的。{TSDF 89.1}[16]
§45
The Ministry of Healing, 129-130
§46
The progress of reform depends upon a clear recognition of fundamental truth. While, on the one hand, danger lurks in a narrow philosophy and a hard, cold orthodoxy, on the other hand there is great danger in a careless liberalism. The foundation of all enduring reform is the law of God. We are to present in clear, distinct lines the need of obeying this law. Its principles must be kept before the people. They are as everlasting and inexorable as God Himself.?{TSDF 89.1}[16]
§47
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。{TSDF 89.2}[17]
§48
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.?{TSDF 89.2}[17]
§49
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。{TSDF 89.3}[18]
§50
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.?{TSDF 89.3}[18]
§51
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。{TSDF 89.4}[19]
§52
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.?{TSDF 89.4}[19]
§53
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。（MH129，130）{TSDF 89.5}[20]
§54
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.?{TSDF 89.5}[20]
§55
人如果珍惜上帝所赐给他有关健康改良的亮光，就会得到重要的援助，藉着真理成圣而配承受永生。（CTBH 10）{TSDF 89.6}[21]

§57
He who cherishes the light which God has given him upon health reform has an important aid in the work of becoming sanctified through the truth, and fitted for immortality.?{TSDF 89.6}[21]
§58
施洗约翰是一位改革家。上帝把一项为当时代的百姓要做的大工交托给他。在为这项工作做准备时，他所有的习惯都要小心控制，甚至从他出生的时候起就开始了。天使加百列奉差遣从天而来，指示约翰的父母健康改良的原则。天使说： “他……清酒浓酒都不可喝，从母腹就被圣灵充满了”（路1:15）。{TSDF 89.7}[22]
§59
Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 38-39
§60
John the Baptist was a reformer. To him was committed a great work for the people of his time. And in preparation for that work, all his habits were carefully regulated, even from his birth. The angel Gabriel was sent from Heaven to instruct the parents of John in the principles of health reform. He “shall drink neither wine nor strong drink,” said the heavenly messenger; “and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.”?{TSDF 89.7}[22]
§61
约翰让自己与朋友和奢华的生活分开，独自住在旷野里，靠纯素食维持生活。他简朴的服装——骆驼毛的衣服——对他那代人，特别是犹太祭司们的奢侈和炫耀乃是一种谴责。他简单的饮食——蝗虫和野蜜，也是对各处盛行的暴饮贪食的一种谴责。{TSDF 89.8}[23]
§62
John separated himself from his friends, and from the luxuries of life, dwelling alone in the wilderness, and subsisting upon a purely vegetable diet. The simplicity of his dress—a garment woven of camel’s hair—was a rebuke to the extravagance and display of the people of his generation, especially of the Jewish priests. His diet, also, of locusts and wild honey, was a rebuke to the gluttony that everywhere prevailed.?{TSDF 89.8}[23]
§63
先知玛拉基预言了约翰的工作：“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，免得我来咒诅遍地”（玛4:5,6）。施洗约翰带着以利亚的心志能力而来，要为主预备道路，使百姓转向义人的智慧。他预表生活在末世的人。上帝已将神圣的真理托付给他们，要他们呈现在世人面前，为基督的第二次显现预备道路。约翰所实行的节制原则，现今警告世界人子即将降临的人也应该遵守。（CTBH 38，39）{TSDF 89.9}[24]
§64
The work of John was foretold by the prophet Malachi: “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.” 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 the last days, to whom God has intrusted sacred truths to present before the people, to prepare the way for the second appearing of Christ. And the same principles of temperance which John practiced should be observed by those who in our day are to warn the world of the coming of the Son of man.?{TSDF 89.9}[24]
§65
我们开始更好地理解这项工作，——多年前所赐的亮光，——健康改良的原则会作为一个切入点，一种虔诚的影响随之而来。要说出约翰的话：“看哪，上帝的羔羊，除去世人罪孽的”（约1:29）。（HL 36）{TSDF 89.10}[25]
§66
Unpublished Testimonies, November 19, 1895?(Healthful Living, 36.1)
§67
This work we begin to comprehend better,—the light given years ago,—that health reform principles would be as an entering wedge to be followed by a religious influence. To voice the words of John, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”?{TSDF 89.10}[25]
§68
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。（Letter 1905.203）{TSDF 89.11}[26]
§69
Letter 203, 1905
§70
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.?{TSDF 89.11}[26]
§71
健康改良的原则具有最高权威，值得许多自称相信现代真理的人将之应用于更大的范围。（HL 33）?{TSDF 89.12}[27]
§72
Unpublished Testimonies, November 8, 1896?(Healthful Living, 33)
§73
The principles of health reform have the highest?authority, and deserve a wider sphere than has yet been given them by many who profess present truth.?{TSDF 89.12}[27]
§74
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。{TSDF 90.1}[28]
§75
Testimonies for the Church 9:112-113
§76
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.?{TSDF 90.1}[28]
§77
要把健康改良的工作保持在前面，这是主指示我所要传的信息。要把这种工作的价值明明白白地显示出来，使四方的人都可觉得其需要。真宗教的后果，就是戒除一切有害的饮食。凡彻底悔改的人，必要放弃各种有害的习惯与食欲。藉着根除这一切，他就必胜过凡是破坏健康的情欲与嗜好。{TSDF 90.2}[29]
§78
Keep the work of health reform to the front, is the message I am instructed to bear. Show so plainly its value that a widespread need for it will be felt. Abstinence from all hurtful food and drink is the fruit of true religion. He who is thoroughly converted will abandon every injurious habit and appetite. By total abstinence he will overcome his desire for health-destroying indulgences.?{TSDF 90.2}[29]
§79
我蒙指示要对各位健康改良教育者说：往前走！这世界需要你们所能发挥的每一点感化力，来击退现今这道德沦亡的狂澜。凡传扬第三位天使信息的人都要站稳立场。（9T112，113）{TSDF 90.3}[30]
§80
I am instructed to say to health-reform educators, Go forward. The world needs every jot of the influence you can exert to press back the tide of moral woe. Let those who teach the third angel’s message stand true to their colors.?{TSDF 90.3}[30]
