ENCHRISTIAN LIFE: I. CHRISTIAN; II. FIGURATIVE PRESENTATIONS; III. CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE; IV. CHRISTIAN CHARACTER; V. CHRISTIAN WALK; VI. CHRISTIAN WORK; VII. WATCHWORDS OF COUNSEL AND PROMISE.

中基督徒生活：一、基督徒（之名）；二、形象化的表述（人生五喻）；三、基督徒经历；四、基督徒品格；五、基督徒行事；六、基督徒工作；七、劝勉与应许的口号。

ENCHRISTIAN LIFE A PERIOD OF EDUCATION for the future, perfected being—involving a process of discipline, training and testing unto the end. Some characteristics and processes, as represented under familiar figures, showing hardships, temptations, perils, and obligations, with methods of meeting, fulfilling, enduring and overcoming.

中基督徒的一生是一段教育时期——为着将来那完全的存在；其间包含直到末了的管教、训练与试验的过程。以下借几个人所熟悉的比方，呈现这一生的特征与进程：其艰难、试探、危险与责任，以及迎战、尽责、忍耐、得胜的方法。

EN1. Life as a Warfare; the Christian as a Soldier. Opposing and assaulting powers: The Flesh, or the old nature, in life-long conflict with the new (see Flesh and Spirit). 1 Pet. 2:11. Fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. James 4:1. Worldly associations and interests: Rom. 12:2. Be not conformed to this world. 2 Cor. 6:17. Come ye out from among them. The powers of darkness: 2 Cor. 10:3-5. Eph. 6:11, 12. Against the wiles of the devil; against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world. James 4:7. Resist the devil. 1 Pet. 5:8, 9. Resist, steadfast in the faith. Rom. 16:20. The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

BSBEphesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

中1. 人生如争战；基督徒是精兵。敌对进攻的势力有三：肉体（旧性情），与新性情终生交战（另参主题词条：肉体与圣灵）——彼得前书 2:11：肉体的私欲，这私欲是与灵魂争战的；雅各书 4:1。属世的交往与利益——罗马书 12:2：不要效法这个世界；哥林多后书 6:17：你们务要从他们中间出来。幽暗的权势——哥林多后书 10:3-5；以弗所书 6:11-12：要抵挡魔鬼的诡计；因我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的……争战。雅各书 4:7：务要抵挡魔鬼。彼得前书 5:8-9：用坚固的信心抵挡他。罗马书 16:20：赐平安的神快要将撒但践踏在你们脚下。

ENThe Soldier's Armor. Eph. 6:14-17. The Helmet of Salvation (the hope of salvation, 1 Thes. 5:8); the Breastplate of righteousness (of faith and love); the Shield of faith; the Girdle of truth, binding all together; the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Divine Orders and Counsels: 2 Tim. 2:3. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 1:18. War the good warfare. 1 Tim. 6:12. Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold on eternal life. 2 Tim. 4:7. I have fought the good fight.

BSBEphesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

中精兵的军装。以弗所书 6:14-17 —— 救恩的头盔（帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:8 作『得救的盼望当作头盔』）；公义的护心镜（帖前作『把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸』）；信德的藤牌；真理的带子（束住全身）；圣灵的宝剑，就是神的道。主的军令与劝勉：提摩太后书 2:3 —— 你要和我同受苦难，好像基督耶稣的精兵。提摩太前书 1:18 —— 打那美好的仗。6:12 —— 你要为真道打那美好的仗，持定永生。提摩太后书 4:7 —— 那美好的仗我已经打过了。

ENWatching and waiting in trust and prayer, and standing fast in the good fight, is the order and detail of the Christian soldier's duty. Loyalty to truth and duty, and devotion to the Sovereign and to the interests of the Kingdom, are the principles that inspire and sustain him in the discomfort and weariness of camp and march, and in the sacrament of conflict. 1 Cor. 16:13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Eph. 6:10, 11. Be strong in the Lord. Put on the whole armor of God. O. T. texts: Ex. 14:13. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. 2 Chron. 20:15-17. The battle is not yours, but God's. 1 Kings 2:2. Be thou strong, and show thyself a man. Josh. 1:6-8. Christ the Captain: Josh. 5:14. As Captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. Heb. 2:10. The Captain of their salvation, made perfect through sufferings.

BSB1 Corinthians 16:13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.

中在信靠祷告中警醒等候、在美好的争战中站立得稳，是基督精兵日课的全部条目。对真理与本分的忠诚，对君王和国度利益的忠贞，是他在营地行军的劳顿疲惫中、在争战这神圣职事中得以振奋支撑的原则。哥林多前书 16:13 —— 你们务要警醒，在真道上站立得稳，要作大丈夫，要刚强。以弗所书 6:10-11 —— 你们要靠着主，倚赖他的大能大力，作刚强的人。要穿戴神所赐的全副军装。旧约经文：出埃及记 14:13 —— 只管站住！看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。历代志下 20:15-17 —— 胜败不在乎你们，乃在乎神。列王纪上 2:2 —— 你当刚强，作大丈夫。约书亚记 1:6-8。基督是元帅：约书亚记 5:14 —— 我来是要作耶和华军队的元帅。希伯来书 2:10 —— 要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去，使救他们的元帅因受苦难得以完全。

EN[Strength comes to the soul from struggle. Its opposing forces are temptations, inborn moral weaknesses, natural tendencies toward wrong-doing—toward selfishness, deceit, envy, wrath, malice, covetousness, arrogance, rebelliousness, and a host of other spiritual foes that war in and against the soul. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood," says Paul, "but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." These wrestlings of the soul are carried on in silence, in solitude. Oh, what battles are fought, what long-continued wrestlings does every soul know, that once enters the lists against these foes of the spirit! What struggles against evil dispositions, against distrust of God, against unbelief, against temptations to secret wrong-doing, against hatred and envy and all uncharitableness! But if, by help of the Divine Spirit that is ever ready to come to our aid if we but desire it, we come off conquerors, the next battle will be easier, the next struggle less prolonged. Having gained, we shall go on from strength to strength. — Interior.]

中【摘录】力量借争战临到灵魂。它的敌军是：试探、与生俱来的道德软弱、种种趋向行恶的天然倾向——趋向自私、诡诈、嫉妒、恼怒、恶毒、贪婪、傲慢、悖逆，以及在灵魂之内、向灵魂开战的许许多多属灵仇敌。保罗说：『我们并不是与属血气的摔跤，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的，以及天空属灵气的恶魔摔跤。』灵魂的这些搏斗，都在寂静里、在孤独中进行。哦，凡曾入场迎战这些心灵之敌的灵魂，谁不知道其中打过怎样的仗、经过怎样旷日持久的摔跤！与恶劣性情的搏斗，与对神的不信任、与不信、与暗中行恶的试探、与仇恨嫉妒和一切刻薄的搏斗！然而——那位圣灵随时预备帮助我们，只要我们肯求——我们若靠他的帮助得胜而回，下一仗就更容易，下一场搏斗就不再那么漫长。既已得胜，我们就要力上加力地往前去。——《Interior》杂志

EN2. Life as a Competitive Contest; the Christian as an Athlete, seeking the crown-laurel in the games. Chief passages: 1 Cor. 9:24-27. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. … I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage. Phil. 3:12-14. Heb. 12:1, 2. Lay aside every weight … and run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus. 2 Tim. 2:5. If a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully. 2 Tim. 4:7. I have finished the course. Allusions: Gal. 2:2; 5:7. Phil. 2:16.

BSB1 Corinthians 9:24, 25 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

中2. 人生如竞赛；基督徒是运动员，在赛会中夺取桂冠。主要经文：哥林多前书 9:24-27 —— 岂不知在场上赛跑的都跑，但得奖赏的只有一人？你们也当这样跑，好叫你们得着奖赏。……我是攻克己身，叫身服我。腓立比书 3:12-14（向着标竿直跑）。希伯来书 12:1-2 —— 就当放下各样的重担，脱去容易缠累我们的罪，存心忍耐，奔那摆在我们前头的路程，仰望……耶稣。提摩太后书 2:5 —— 人若在场上比武，非按规矩，就不能得冠冕。4:7 —— 当跑的路我已经跑尽了。另有隐喻：加拉太书 2:2；5:7（你们向来跑得好）；腓立比书 2:16。

EN3. Life as a Journey or Pilgrimage; the Christian a Pilgrim, a Sojourner. Lev. 25:23. Ye are strangers and sojourners with Me. Ps. 39:12. I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were. Ps. 119:19. I am a sojourner in the earth. Ps. 119:54. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Heb. 11:13. Confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 1 Pet. 2:11. As sojourners and pilgrims.

BSBHebrews 11:13 All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

中3. 人生如旅程或客旅；基督徒是天路客、寄居者。利未记 25:23 —— 你们在我面前是客旅，是寄居的。诗篇 39:12 —— 我在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，像我列祖一般。119:19 —— 我是在地上作寄居的。119:54 —— 我在世寄居，素来以你的律例为诗歌。希伯来书 11:13 —— 又承认自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。彼得前书 2:11 —— 你们是客旅，是寄居的。

EN4. Life as a Trust, a Stewardship to be accounted for; the Christian a Trustee, a Steward. Luke 12:42, 48. Who then is the faithful and wise steward? … To whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required. Luke 16:2. Give an account of thy stewardship. Luke 19:13. Trade ye herewith till I come. 1 Cor. 4:1, 2. Stewards of the mysteries of God: it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 2 Tim. 4:7. I have kept the faith. 1 Pet. 4:10. As good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

BSB1 Corinthians 4:2 Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

中4. 人生如受托，是一场要交账的管家职分；基督徒是受托人、管家。路加福音 12:42, 48 —— 谁是那忠心有见识的管家……多给谁，就向谁多取。16:2 —— 把你所经管的交代明白。19:13 —— 你们去做生意，直等我回来。哥林多前书 4:1-2 —— 神奥秘事的管家。所求于管家的，是要他有忠心。提摩太后书 4:7 —— 所信的道我已经守住了。彼得前书 4:10 —— 作神百般恩赐的好管家。

EN5. Life as a Witnessing, a Testimony for God, for His truth and His claims; the Christian a Witness in life and character, an Epistle of Christ, a Light-bearer. Isa. 43:10. Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord. Acts 1:8. Ye shall be My witnesses … unto the uttermost part of the earth. 2 Cor. 3:2, 3. Ye are our epistle … an epistle of Christ, known and read of all men. Matt. 5:13-16. Ye are the salt of the earth. Ye are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father. Phil. 2:15, 16. Seen as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life. Heb. 11. The cloud of witnesses. Add John the Baptist and Stephen among the martyrs; and include every Bible record of godly character, deed and life.

BSBMatthew 5:14, 15, 16 14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

中5. 人生如见证，是为神、为他的真理与主权作的证词；基督徒在生活与品格上是见证人，是基督的书信，是持光者。以赛亚书 43:10 —— 耶和华说：你们是我的见证。使徒行传 1:8 —— 直到地极，作我的见证。哥林多后书 3:2-3 —— 你们就是我们的荐信……你们明显是基督的信，众人所知道所念诵的。马太福音 5:13-16 —— 你们是世上的盐……你们是世上的光……你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。腓立比书 2:15-16 —— 好像明光照耀，将生命的道表明出来。希伯来书 11 章 —— 如同云彩围着的见证人。可再加上殉道者中的施洗约翰与司提反，以及圣经所记一切敬虔品格、敬虔行事与生命的记录。【OCR 注：本段末尾与第三部分的标题及开头约一栏内容在扫描中丢失，第三部分现存文本自 p. 74 中途起。】

EN[The opening of Part III is lost in the scan; the extant text begins mid-sentence:] …reversing the course of his life-controlling estimates, affections, desires and choices, from self-loving and self-seeking to supreme love and devotion to God—this reversal achieved only and surely under the efficient leading and drawing of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptural terms applied to man's action in this radical change are Metanoia (misrendered "Repentance"), meaning change of mind, heart, will, life; and Conversion, or turning back to God—both of which, the inward change and the actual turning, are demanded by God from man as his own willing act. (See Repentance.) The efficient, vital influence of the Holy Spirit in the renewal of the willing human spirit is Scripturally represented under the term Regeneration, or New Creation from above.

中【OCR 注：第三部分开头一栏在扫描中丢失，现存文本自句中起。】……把他支配一生的评断、情感、愿望与抉择的走向整个扭转——从爱自己、求自己，转为对神至高的爱与忠诚；这一逆转，惟独并确定地在圣灵有效的引领吸引之下才得成就。圣经用于人在这一根本改变中之行动的词是：Metanoia（被误译作『懊悔』Repentance），意为心思、心肠、意志、生命的改变；以及归正（Conversion），即转回归向神——这二者，里面的改变与实际的回转，都是神向人要求的、人自己甘愿的行动（另参主题词条：悔改）。而圣灵在甘愿之人灵里更新变化的有效而生命性的影响，圣经则以重生（Regeneration）——从上头来的新造——一词来表述。

ENMan's part in the process of Spiritual Transformation: Attention to, and reflection upon, the truth "able to make wise unto salvation." Ps. 119:59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies. Glad reception and heart-belief of this truth, under the illumining power of the Holy Spirit. Acts 16:14. Whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things spoken. Decision to surrender mind, heart, and will. Acts 9:6. Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? Luke 15:17-20. (The prodigal came to himself.) Coincident with this decision is the act of penitent surrender, the actual "metanoia toward God" (Acts 20:21), together with "faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." This faith means heart-confidence in Christ the God-Man, and reliance upon His one perfect sacrificial offering for sin; whereby the trusting man is pardoned, and the pardoned man is justified by God Himself as against all demands of a holy but broken law, and is henceforth to be reckoned and treated as righteous, by reason of the righteousness of his Divine Ransomer and Substitute. So it is that in all stages of the great spiritual transformation, man's part is performed under the gracious breathings, the helpful suggestions and the prompting appeals of the Spirit of God. [Consecration, or full surrender, and faith, or trustful acceptance, are the essential elements of the Christian life—the giving up of all to Jesus, the receiving of all from Jesus. — A. Murray.]

BSBPsalm 119:59 I considered my ways and turned my steps to Your testimonies.

中人在属灵转变过程中的部分：其一，留意并思想那『能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧』的真理——诗篇 119:59：我思想我所行的道，就转步归向你的法度。其二，在圣灵光照之能下欢然领受、真心相信这真理——使徒行传 16:14：（吕底亚）主就开导她的心，叫她留心听（保罗所讲的话）。其三，决意交出心思、心肠与意志——使徒行传 9:6：主啊，你要我做什么？（和合本此语见 22:10）路加福音 15:17-20：浪子醒悟过来。与这决意同时发生的，是痛悔降服的行动，即实际的『向神悔改』（使徒行传 20:21），连同『信靠我主耶稣基督』。这信，意味着对神而人者基督的真心信赖，倚靠他为罪所献那一次完全的祭；借此，信靠的人蒙赦免，蒙赦免的人又被神亲自称义——面对圣洁却被干犯之律法的一切追索——从此因他神圣的救赎主与替代者的义，被算为义人、以义人相待。就这样，在属灵大转变的每一阶段，人的部分都是在神之灵恩慈的嘘气、有益的提示与催促的呼吁之下完成的。【摘录】奉献（完全的交出）与信心（信靠的接受），是基督徒生活的基本要素——把一切交给耶稣，从耶稣接受一切。——慕安得烈（A. Murray）

ENThe Work of the Holy Spirit, crowning His illumining and drawing influence, in the production of a vital spiritual change in the willing, penitent, believing man, is explicitly declared in the words "born anew (or from above)," "born of the Spirit." John 3:3-8. Titus 3:5. The washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Ezek. 11:19; 36:26. A new heart also will I give you. 2 Cor. 5:17. A new creation. 1 Cor. 6:11. Ye were washed, sanctified, justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God. Through the truth, acting upon reason, conscience and heart: 2 Thes. 2:13, 14. Chosen to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. James 1:18. 1 Pet. 1:23. Begotten again through the Word of God. See Regeneration.

BSBTitus 3:5 He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

中圣灵的工作——为他光照吸引之影响加上冠冕的，是他在甘愿、痛悔、相信之人里面造出生命性属灵改变的工作。这在『重生（从上头生）』『从圣灵生』等语中有明白的宣告。约翰福音 3:3-8；提多书 3:5 —— 藉着重生的洗和圣灵的更新。以西结书 11:19；36:26 —— 我也要赐给你们一个新心。哥林多后书 5:17 —— 若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人。哥林多前书 6:11 —— 但如今你们奉主耶稣基督的名，并藉着我们神的灵，已经洗净、成圣、称义了。这工作借着真理，作用于理性、良心与心肠：帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:13-14 —— 神从起初拣选了你们，叫你们因信真道，又被圣灵感动成为圣洁，能以得救。雅各书 1:18；彼得前书 1:23 —— 藉着神活泼常存的道蒙了重生。另参主题词条：重生（Regeneration）。【OCR 注：原书 "1 Cor. 5:17" 依引文推定为 2 Cor. 5:17。】

ENEffects Divinely wrought in the changed, believing man, by reason of God's acts of Justification and Regeneration—comprising all precious and satisfying elements of heart-experience. Paul calls them the "Fruit of the Spirit." Gal. 5:22, 23. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control. Col. 3:12-15. 1 Pet. 1:3-9.

BSBGalatians 5:22, 23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

中因神称义与重生的作为，在已改变的信徒里面由神亲自造成的果效——包含心灵经历中一切宝贵而令人满足的成分。保罗称之为『圣灵所结的果子』。加拉太书 5:22-23 —— 圣灵所结的果子，就是仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制。歌罗西书 3:12-15（怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐……爱心就是联络全德的）；彼得前书 1:3-9。

ENHere also are the same Agents and methods of action: the same demand of God to "work out our own salvation," to "keep ourselves in the love of God" (Jude 21); and the same sure pledge that "God worketh in us to will and to do" (Phil. 2:12, 13); that He will "shed abroad His love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit" (Rom. 5:5). Here also the same means—the Word of truth, through which we are sanctified (John 17:17; 2 Pet. 1:4). To the Word may be added the ordinances of worship, the opportunities of fellowship, and the effects of service. Worship, Fellowship and Work, in their daily practice, are eminent means of spiritual growth, by stimulating all high and holy desires, affections and aims to more vigorous and fruitful exercise. Furthermore, spiritual life, like all other, is dependent upon its own unceasing energy and productiveness. James 2:26. As the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.

BSBJames 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

中在这里，仍是同样的施动者与作工方式：神同样要求我们『做成自己得救的工夫』、『保守自己常在神的爱中』（犹大书 21）；也同样确实地保证『你们立志行事，都是神在你们心里运行』（腓立比书 2:12-13）、他要『将他的爱藉着圣灵浇灌在我们心里』（罗马书 5:5）。凭借的也仍是同样的媒介——真理的道，我们借它成圣（约翰福音 17:17；彼得后书 1:4）。在圣道之外，还可加上崇拜的礼文、团契的机会与服事的果效：敬拜、团契与工作，在日常操练中乃是灵命长进的卓越途径——它们激发一切崇高圣洁的愿望、情感与目标，使之更有力、更多结果地运用起来。再者，属灵的生命像一切生命一样，倚赖自身不歇的活力与产出。雅各书 2:26 —— 身体没有灵魂是死的，信心没有行为也是死的。

ENHence the Divine command to activity, growth, progress finds direct and frequent expression, often with promise attached. Hosea 6:3. Follow on to know the Lord. 2 Pet. 3:18. Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Eph. 4:15. Grow up in all things into Christ. Phil. 3:13, 14. Heb. 6:1. Press on unto perfection. Col. 1:10. Increasing in the knowledge of God. 1 Thes. 3:12. Increase and abound in love. 2 Thes. 1:3. Your faith groweth exceedingly. John 15:5. He that abideth in Me … beareth much fruit. Judges 8:4. Faint, yet pursuing. 2 Pet. 1:5-8. Phil. 4:8. ["Nothing so clears the vision and lifts up the life, as a decision to move forward in what you know to be the will of the Lord."]

BSB2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

中因此，神对行动、成长、长进的命令得到直接而频繁的表达，且常附有应许。何西阿书 6:3 —— 我们务要认识耶和华，竭力追求认识他。彼得后书 3:18 —— 你们却要在我们主救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。以弗所书 4:15 —— 凡事长进，连于元首基督。腓立比书 3:13-14；希伯来书 6:1 —— 竭力进到完全的地步。歌罗西书 1:10 —— 渐渐地多知道神。帖撒罗尼迦前书 3:12 —— 又愿主叫你们……彼此相爱的心，并爱众人的心，都能增长、充足。帖撒罗尼迦后书 1:3 —— 因你们的信心格外增长。约翰福音 15:5 —— 常在我里面的……这人就多结果子。士师记 8:4 —— 虽然疲乏，还是追赶。彼得后书 1:5-8（分外地殷勤：有了信心，又要加上德行……）；腓立比书 4:8。【原书按语：再没有什么比『决意在你所确知的主旨意里向前挪步』更能澄澈眼目、提升生命的了。】

ENAccompanying these commands we find many promises and encouragements of the sanctifying Spirit in behalf of the earnest, though weak and weary, Christian. Deut. 33:25. As thy days, so shall thy strength be. Ps. 84:7. They go from strength to strength. Ps. 103:13, 14. He pitieth … He remembereth that we are dust. Matt. 26:41. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. James 1:5. (God giveth to all liberally,) and upbraideth not. 1 Cor. 10:13. Will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. 2 Cor. 4:16. Our inward man is renewed day by day. 2 Cor. 3:18. 1 Thes. 5:23. The God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly. Isa. 40:31. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall run, and not be weary. Matt. 25:29. Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance. Other abounding texts: Deliverance—Ps. 41:1; 91:14, 15. 2 Cor. 1:10. 2 Pet. 2:9. Guidance—Ps. 32:8; 48:14; 73:24. John 16:13. Girding—Ps. 18:32, 39. 1 Pet. 1:5. Indwelling—John 14:17. Rom. 8:11. 1 Cor. 3:16. 2 Cor. 6:16. Eph. 3:17.

BSBIsaiah 40:31 But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

中伴随这些命令的，是使人成圣的圣灵为恳切却软弱疲乏的基督徒所存的许多应许与鼓励。申命记 33:25 —— 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。诗篇 84:7 —— 他们行走，力上加力。103:13-14 —— 他怜恤敬畏他的人……因为他知道我们的本体，思念我们不过是尘土。马太福音 26:41 —— 你们心灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了。雅各书 1:5 ——（神）厚赐与众人、也不斥责人。哥林多前书 10:13 —— 在受试探的时候，总要给你们开一条出路，叫你们能忍受得住。哥林多后书 4:16 —— 内心却一天新似一天。3:18；帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:23 —— 愿赐平安的神亲自使你们全然成圣。以赛亚书 40:31 —— 但那等候耶和华的必从新得力……他们奔跑却不困倦。马太福音 25:29 —— 因为凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余。其他丰富的经文：拯救——诗篇 41:1；91:14-15；哥林多后书 1:10；彼得后书 2:9。引导——诗篇 32:8（我要教导你，指示你当行的路）；48:14；73:24；约翰福音 16:13。束腰赐力——诗篇 18:32, 39；彼得前书 1:5。内住——约翰福音 14:17；罗马书 8:11；哥林多前书 3:16；哥林多后书 6:16；以弗所书 3:17。

EN(1) Justification—God's own act, whereby the believer in Christ has an accepted standing before the holy Law, is reckoned and treated as righteous, solely through the perfect righteousness and vicarious self-offering of the God-Man, Christ Jesus. Rom. 6:14. Ye are not under law, but under grace. Rom. 8:1-4. Rom. 5:1-5. (Fruits of justification: peace, access, hope, love.) See Faith. (2) New Creation—God's sole act, efficiently producing the new spiritual life. Eph. 2:1. John 3:3, 5. (3) Adoption—God's act of restoring to the believing, justified, and renewed man all the privileges and claims of childship. Rom. 8:14-16. Gal. 3:26; 4:4-6. See Adoption.

BSBRomans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

中（一）称义——神自己的作为：信基督的人借此在圣洁的律法面前获得蒙悦纳的地位，被算为义、以义相待——惟独凭着神而人者基督耶稣完全的义和代赎的舍己。罗马书 6:14 —— 你们不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。8:1-4；5:1-5（称义的果子：相和、进入恩典、盼望、神的爱浇灌）。另参主题词条：信心（Faith）。（二）新造——神独自的作为，有效地造出新的属灵生命。以弗所书 2:1；约翰福音 3:3, 5。（三）得儿子的名分——神把儿女身份的一切特权与名分归还给相信、称义、更新之人的作为。罗马书 8:14-16；加拉太书 3:26；4:4-6。另参主题词条：得儿子的名分（002）。

EN(4) Present Salvation, or the Time-stage of Eternal Redemption. No clearly asserted Scripture truth is so imperfectly discerned and so inadequately appreciated, none so feebly grasped and realized, as this. Yet for every end of Christian living and growth this truth demands thorough apprehension and instant realization. The Scripture mood and tense always affirm an already accomplished salvation—in sharp contrast with the half-hearted expressions of hope, and even of prayer, so often heard from the good, here and now really saved. We read only the words "hath" and "are," and they are many: "Hath everlasting life" (John 3:36). He that hath the Son hath life. 1 Cor. 1:18. Unto us which are saved. 1 Cor. 6:11. Ye are washed, sanctified, justified. Eph. 2:5. By grace ye are saved. 1 John 3:2, 14. Now are we children of God. We have passed from death unto life. Col. 3:3. Our life is hid with Christ. — These Assured Abiding Results—Justification by faith, with its fruitage of inward graces of the Spirit; Regeneration, or New Creation; Adoption, or reacknowledged childship; and Present Salvation—all pertain to Christian Experience as known and consciously realized facts. But underlying them all, the sole foundation of rest and peace, the one all-inclusive element of the saved soul's experience here and forever, is the Union or Oneness of Christ and the Believer: In Christ, With Christ, Like Him, Christ in you—summed up in Col. 2:10, Ye are complete in Him. For the treatment of this theme see Christ and the Believer.

BSBEphesians 2:5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

中（四）现今的救恩——永远救赎的『今世阶段』。圣经明明宣告的真理中，没有一条像这一条这样：被认识得如此不完全、被珍视得如此不充分、被把握得如此无力。然而为着基督徒生活与长进的每一目的，这真理都要求人透彻地领会、时刻地实化。圣经的语气和时态所宣告的，始终是一个已然成就的救恩——与那些本已实实在在得救的好人常挂在嘴边的半心半意的『盼望』甚至『祈求』恰成鲜明对比。我们读到的只是『已有』与『已是』，且比比皆是：『信子的人有永生』（约翰福音 3:36）；人有了神的儿子就有生命（约壹 5:12）；哥林多前书 1:18 —— 在我们得救的人（却为神的大能）；6:11 —— 你们已经洗净、成圣、称义了；以弗所书 2:5 —— 你们得救是本乎恩；约翰一书 3:2, 14 —— 我们现在是神的儿女；我们已经出死入生；歌罗西书 3:3 —— 你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。——这些确定长存的成果——因信称义（连同它所结的圣灵内在恩德之果实）、重生（新造）、得儿子的名分（被重新承认的儿女身份）、现今的救恩——都作为已知、被自觉实化的事实属于基督徒经历。但在这一切底下，安息与平安惟一的根基、得救灵魂今生永世经历中那无所不包的惟一要素，乃是基督与信徒的联合：在基督里、与基督同、像基督、基督在你们里面——总括于歌罗西书 2:10：你们在他里面也得了丰盛（英译：在他里面得以完全）。此题的详论见 033 基督与信徒。

ENPartly from imperfect knowledge of God and intermitting fellowship with Him. 1 Cor. 13:12. Now we see in a mirror, darkly; now I know in part. We fail to "set the Lord always before us," and to "abide" and "commune with" Him, as we may; hence the measure of our desire, and of His giving, is reduced. But chiefly are we straitened in spiritual progress by imperfect obedience and sanctification. The heart may be true, the will set to obedience—because the man is "begotten of God, and His seed abideth in him" (1 John 3:9)—yet so long as the remnants of the old nature, still inwardly warring, are stimulated by temptations without and within, so long must the conflict be carried on by the new nature, and successive conquests of evil be attained only by the might of Christ and His Spirit exerted in our behalf. Paul's words furnish our best guide and counsel here: Phil. 3:12-14. 1 Cor. 9:27. Gal. 6:14. Gal. 5:16-18. Titus 2:12. See Flesh and Spirit.

BSB1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

中局限的部分原因，在于对神认识的不完全、与神相交的时断时续。哥林多前书 13:12 —— 我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清；如今所知道的有限。我们没有照所能的『将耶和华常摆在面前』，没有照所能的『常在』他里面、与他『交谈』；于是我们渴慕的分量、连同他赐予的分量，都缩减了。但使我们在属灵长进上受挤压的，主要还是顺服与成圣的不完全。心可以是真的，意志可以定意顺服——因为这人是『从神生的，神的道（原文作种）存在他心里』（约翰一书 3:9）——然而，只要旧性的残余仍在里面交战、仍被里外的试探所挑动，争战就必须由新性持续打下去；对恶的一次次得胜、在善上的长进，也惟有靠基督和他的灵为我们施展的大能才能取得。在这里，保罗的话是我们最好的向导与劝言：腓立比书 3:12-14（竭力追求）；哥林多前书 9:27（攻克己身）；加拉太书 6:14（就我而论，世界已经钉在十字架上）；5:16-18（当顺着圣灵而行，就不放纵肉体的情欲了）；提多书 2:12。另参主题词条：肉体与圣灵。

ENCHRISTIAN CHARACTER, or the Sum of Inward Forces Actuating the Spiritual Life. (See Character.) More fully defined: the sum of the believer's ruling Estimates, Desires, Aims and Motives respecting God and Duty. Its elements are supreme reverence and love to God, with an unquestioning submission and consecration to His will. These simple elements interpret the meaning and exhaust the fulfilment of "the first and great commandment—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" (Matt. 22:37-39); while they supply the ground and motive for "the second, which is like unto it—Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

BSBMatthew 22:37, 38, 39 37 Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

中基督徒品格——驱动属灵生命之内在诸力的总和（另参 027 品格词条）。更完整的定义：信徒关乎神与本分的、居支配地位的评断、愿望、目标与动机之总和。它的要素是对神至高的敬畏与爱，加上对他旨意毫无保留的降服与奉献。这几个简单的要素，解明了『诫命中的第一、且是最大的——你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主你的神』（马太福音 22:37-39）的全部含义、穷尽了它的成全；同时也为『其次也相仿，就是要爱人如己』提供了根据与动机。

ENThese elements of fear and love, of obedience and devotion to God, in actual control of the believer's judgment and heart, conscience and will, constitute the vital roots of Christian character; and from these spring all fruits in the life, demanded by and acceptable to God, and helpful to man. Their substance is infolded in "the Preacher's" summary charge: Eccles. 12:13. Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole of man. See also Deut. 5:29; 10:12; 13:4. Josh. 24:14. 1 Sam. 12:24. Ps. 115:11. Prov. 3:7. See Fear of God. [God's perfect nature and holy will form the norm of character and duty for man. The human will must subsist in perfect harmony with the Divine; and there should be a right state of the affections, a pure and harmonious inner life. — J. Orr.]

BSBEcclesiastes 12:13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.

中敬畏与爱、顺服与忠诚于神——这些要素一旦实际掌管信徒的判断与心肠、良心与意志，便构成基督徒品格的生命之根；生活中一切为神所要求、蒙神悦纳、于人有益的果子，都从这根上生发。其实质已包含在『传道者』总括的嘱咐里：传道书 12:13 —— 敬畏神，谨守他的诫命，这是人所当尽的本分（原文作这是众人的本分）。另参：申命记 5:29；10:12；13:4；约书亚记 24:14；撒母耳记上 12:24；诗篇 115:11；箴言 3:7。参主题词条：敬畏神（Fear of God）。【摘录】神完全的本性与圣洁的旨意，构成人之品格与本分的准则。人的意志必须存活于与神旨意的完全和谐之中；情感也当有正当的状态——一个纯洁而和谐的内在生命。——J. 奥尔（J. Orr）

ENThis is Christian Character in exercise and development—the process of spiritual life carried on by and within the reverent, loving, obedient and consecrated believer. This broad, intensely personal theme is largely treated in both Testaments: (1) in summary statements, and (2) in manifold detailed points. 1. Summaries of Christian Living: Micah 6:8. What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Hosea 12:6. Turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. Zeph. 2:3. Seek ye the Lord … seek righteousness, seek meekness. Titus 2:12. Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world. James 1:27. Pure religion is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. 2 Pet. 1:5-8. Adding all diligence, in your faith supply virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, love. Phil. 4:8. Whatsoever things are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good report—think on these things. Jude 20, 21. Building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God.

BSBMicah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

中这是操练中、发展中的基督徒品格——由那敬虔、爱主、顺服、奉献的信徒所进行、并在其里面进行的属灵生命进程。这个广阔而切身的主题，新旧两约都有大量论述：（一）总括性的陈述，（二）繁多的细目。1. 基督徒生活的总纲：弥迦书 6:8 —— 耶和华向你所要的是什么呢？只要你行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的神同行。何西阿书 12:6 —— 所以你当归向你的神，谨守仁爱、公平，常常等候你的神。西番雅书 2:3 —— 你们当寻求耶和华……当寻求公义谦卑。提多书 2:12 —— 教训我们除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲，在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日。雅各书 1:27 —— 在神我们的父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗。彼得后书 1:5-8 —— 正因这缘故，你们要分外地殷勤：有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知识……忍耐、虔敬、爱弟兄的心、爱众人的心。腓立比书 4:8 —— 凡是真实的、可敬的、公义的、清洁的、可爱的、有美名的……这些事你们都要思念。犹大书 20-21 —— 在至圣的真道上造就自己，在圣灵里祷告，保守自己常在神的爱中。

ENCHRISTIAN WORK OR SERVICE includes all human ministries in the interest of God and His Kingdom, and in man's behalf, as the object of God's love. The obligation to Christian service has its sole source and single motive in the Law of Holiness and Love, eternal in the heart of God. A simple classification of ministries is found in the twofold Summary of that Law as expressed by Christ: (1) honoring and obeying God, by fulfilling the work assigned us in advancing His Kingdom; (2) aiding our fellow-men by every means we are able rightly and wisely to employ. In service every gift received must be fully used (2 Tim. 1:6. Stir up the gift of God which is in thee); and in this service we are honored by being "workers together with God." 1 Cor. 3:9. 2 Cor. 6:1. Eph. 2:10. Titus 2:14. Created, purified, unto good works.

BSB1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

中基督徒的工作（服事）包括为神和他的国、并为作神之爱对象的人所作的一切人间服事。基督徒服事的责任，其惟一的源头与动机在于圣洁与爱的律法——这律法永存于神的心中。服事的简明分类，见于基督对这律法的双重总括：（一）尊崇顺服神，完成他派给我们、用以推进他国度的工作；（二）用一切能正当明智使用的方法帮助同胞。在服事中，所领受的每一恩赐都必须充分使用（提摩太后书 1:6 —— 将神藉我按手所给你的恩赐再如火挑旺起来）；并且在这服事中，我们得着『与神同工』的尊荣。哥林多前书 3:9；哥林多后书 6:1；以弗所书 2:10；提多书 2:14 —— 蒙造、蒙洁净，为要行善（作热心为善的子民）。

ENIn the highest sense, all service is rendered to God. Col. 3:23, 24. Whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men … ye serve the Lord Christ. Col. 3:17. Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 10:31. Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Cor. 15:58. Always abounding in the work of the Lord. Rom. 12:11. In diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. Isa. 61:3, 6. Trees of righteousness … priests of the Lord … ministers of our God. Matt. 5:16. That they may see your good works, and glorify your Father. Mark 14:6, 8. (She hath done what she could.)

BSBColossians 3:23, 24 23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

中就最高的意义说，一切服事都是献给神的。歌罗西书 3:23-24 —— 无论做什么，都要从心里做，像是给主做的，不是给人做的……你们所事奉的乃是主基督。3:17 —— 无论做什么，或说话或行事，都要奉主耶稣的名。哥林多前书 10:31 —— 你们或吃或喝，无论做什么，都要为荣耀神而行。15:58 —— 常常竭力多做主工。罗马书 12:11 —— 殷勤，不可懒惰；要心里火热，常常服事主。以赛亚书 61:3, 6 —— 称为公义树……你们倒要称为耶和华的祭司，人必称你们为我们神的仆役。马太福音 5:16 —— 叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。马可福音 14:6, 8 ——（论伯大尼的马利亚）她所做的，是尽她所能的。

ENService to God through ministries to men, in fulfilment of "the royal law—Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" (James 2:8). This service is expressed most frequently by the words "Do good": Ps. 34:14. Ps. 37:3, 27. Trust in the Lord, and do good. Eccles. 3:12. Matt. 5:44. Luke 6:35. Love your enemies, and do them good. Gal. 6:9, 10. Let us not be weary in well-doing … let us work that which is good toward all men. 1 Tim. 6:18. Heb. 13:16. James 4:17. To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. By sympathy: Rom. 12:15. Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep. Gal. 5:13. By love serve one another. Gal. 6:2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

BSBGalatians 6:9, 10 9 Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.

中藉着服事人来服事神——成全『至尊的律法：要爱人如己』（雅各书 2:8）。这类服事最常用『行善』二字表达：诗篇 34:14；37:3, 27 —— 你当倚靠耶和华而行善。传道书 3:12；马太福音 5:44；路加福音 6:35 —— 你们倒要爱仇敌，也要善待他们。加拉太书 6:9-10 —— 我们行善，不可丧志……向众人行善。提摩太前书 6:18；希伯来书 13:16；雅各书 4:17 —— 人若知道行善，却不去行，这就是他的罪了。以同情体恤服事：罗马书 12:15 —— 与喜乐的人要同乐，与哀哭的人要同哭。加拉太书 5:13 —— 总要用爱心互相服事。6:2 —— 你们各人的重担要互相担当，如此，就完全了基督的律法。

Prov. 3:27. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Prov. 24:11, 12. 1 Tim. 6:18. Be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. Heb. 13:16. To do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

BSBIsaiah 58:10, 11 10 and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday. 11 The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

BSB2 Corinthians 5:14, 15 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died. 15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

中要时时铭记基督徒生活至高的动力：哥林多后书 5:14-15 —— 原来基督的爱激励我们……并且他替众人死，是叫那些活着的人不再为自己活，乃为替他们死而复活的主活。

ENNatural Fruits of a Divinely inwrought Christian Life, expressed in the form of direct practical counsels: 1. Set the Lord Christ always before you, and keep continual thought-communion with Him. 2. Never intermit reverent, studious, and prayerful thought upon some truth of the Word of Christ. 3. Keep your soul attent to hear the indwelling Holy Spirit, and ask and look for His constant inworking. 4. Forget all gain or advance already made, and ever press forward toward the goal, unto the prize. 5. Take no account of frames or feelings; but ever exercise and magnify faith, by fulfilling its appropriate works, and holding fast the conviction that God will meet your every need, and recompense your toil for Him. 6. Watch, pray, and struggle against Temptation and the Tempter; and believe that God can, and—if rightly sought and leaned upon—will, deliver from known sin and infirmity, however long and strong the hold it has gotten through weak or willful indulgence.

中神所内造之基督徒生命的自然果实——以直接实践劝言的形式表述：一、将主基督常摆在你面前，与他保持不断的心思相通。二、对基督之道中的某一真理作敬虔、勤勉、带祷告的思想，永不间断。三、保持灵里侧耳，谛听内住的圣灵，并祈求、仰望他不停的内里运行。四、忘记已经得着的一切长进，永远向着标竿、向着奖赏努力面前。五、不要理会一时的心境或感觉；只管借着成全信心相应的行为来操练并高举信心，紧握这确信：神必供应你的每一样需要，必报偿你为他受的劳苦。六、警醒、祷告、与试探和那试探者争战；并相信神能够——若正确地寻求他、倚靠他，也必定——救你脱离已知的罪与软弱，无论它借着软弱或任性的放纵已经辖制你多久、多深。
