656 英翻中 Freedom from Pride. 免於驕傲. 1/28/2024
Jan. 28 Freedom from Pride. Bible reading : Romans 8;6-9 Key verse: Proverbs 16:18 1 月 28 日 免於驕傲. 讀經: 羅馬書 8;6-9 鑰節: 箴 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall 驕傲在敗壞之先, 狂妄的心在跌倒之前發生.
C. S. Lewis spoke of pride: 路易斯C. S. 論 "驕傲" 說:
In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that --- and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison --- you do not know God at all. As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see somethings that is above you, 在上帝身上, 你會遇到在各方面都比你自己優越得多的東西. 除非你認識了上帝 ── 因此, 比較之下, 你根本不認識自己 ── 因你根本就不認識上帝. 只要你驕傲, 你就無法認識上帝. 驕傲的人總是向下輕視事物和人, 這樣你當然看不到比他們高的東西, 因為你向下輕視他們.
The virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called humility .... The utmost evil is pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that are mere fleabites in comparison. It was through pride that the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every other vice. It is the complete anti-God state of mind ... 在基督信仰中, 信徒謙卑的道德觀適與之相反……最大的罪惡是驕傲. 不貞、憤怒、貪婪、酗酒,所有這些與驕傲相比之下, 都不過是區區小事. 正是由於驕傲, 魔鬼才成為魔鬼. 驕傲會導致其他一切惡習. 這是因為驕傲者完全抵擋上帝的心態所行成…
If you want to find out how proud you are, the easiest way is to ask yourself, "How much do I dislike it when other people snub me, or refuse to take any notice of me, or patronize me, or show off? ... Is it because I wanted to be the big noise at the party that I am so annoyed at someone else being the big noise? ... Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out having more of it than the next man. 如果你想知道自己有多驕傲, 最簡單的方法就是問自己, "當別人冷落我, 拒絕關注我, 或不支持我, 或我在炫耀時, 那時我該是多麼的不喜歡?".... 是不是因為我想在聚會上成為大吵大鬧的人,因此我對別人成為大吵鬧的人感到如此惱火? .... 驕傲不會因為擁有某些東西而感到高興, 只會因為自己比旁人擁有更多的東西而感到快樂,
The greatest struggle of a believer is with pride. All other sins flow from this one polluted stream. Ask God to free you from pride's grasp. Boundless freedom awaits those who make the journey. 對有基督信仰的人, 他最大的內心掙扎就是驕傲. 所有其他罪孽都源自於這被驕傲罪所污染的泉源而來. 求上帝將你從驕傲的掌控中釋放出來. 無限的自由等待您從新踏上人生的旅程,
Dear God, free me from pride's grasp. I want to walk humbly with You. 親愛的上帝,求祢將我從驕傲的魔掌中釋放出來. 我願謙卑地與祢同行.
