希伯来书 12

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

專一注視耶穌

12 所以，我們既然有這麼多的見證人，像雲彩圍繞著我們，就應該脫下各樣的拖累，和容易纏住我們的罪，以堅忍的心奔跑那擺在我們面前的賽程； ²專一注視耶穌，就是那位信心的創造者和完成者。他因為那擺在面前的喜樂，就忍受了十字架，輕看了羞辱，現在就坐在　神寶座的右邊。 ³這位忍受罪人那樣頂撞的耶穌，你們要仔細思想，免得疲倦灰心。

主必管教他所愛的

⁴你們與罪惡鬥爭，還沒有對抗到流血的地步； ⁵你們又忘記了那勸你們好像勸兒子的話，說：

“我兒！你不可輕看主的管教，

受責備的時候也不要灰心；

⁶因為主所愛的，他必管教，

他又鞭打所收納的每一個兒子。”

⁷為了接受管教，你們要忍受，因為　神待你們好像待兒子一樣；哪有兒子不受父親管教的呢？ ⁸作兒子的都受過管教。如果你們沒有受管教，就是私生子，不是兒子了。 ⁹還有，肉身的父親管教我們，我們尚且敬重他們；何況那萬靈的父，我們不是更要順服他而得生嗎？ ¹⁰肉身的父親照著自己的意思管教我們，只有短暫的日子；唯有　神管教我們，是為著我們的好處，使我們在他的聖潔上有分。 ¹¹但是一切管教，在當時似乎不覺得快樂，反覺得痛苦；後來卻為那些經過這種操練的人，結出平安的果子來，就是義。

把下垂的手發軟的腿挺起來

¹²所以，你們要把下垂的手和發軟的腿挺直起來； ¹³也要把你們所走的道路修直，使瘸子不至於扭腳，反而得到復原。 ¹⁴你們要竭力尋求與眾人和睦，並且要竭力追求聖潔。如果沒有聖潔，誰也不能見主。 ¹⁵你們要小心，免得有人失去了　神的恩典；免得有苦根長起來纏繞你們，因而污染了許多人； ¹⁶又免得有人成為淫亂的和貪戀世俗的，好像以掃一樣，為了一點點食物，竟把自己長子的名分出賣了。 ¹⁷你們知道，後來以掃想要承受祝福，卻被拒絕了；他雖然帶著眼淚尋求，還是沒有反悔的餘地。

不可違背那警戒人的　神

¹⁸你們不是來到那座摸得著的山。那裡有烈火、密雲、幽暗、暴風、 ¹⁹號筒的響聲和說話的聲音；那些聽見這聲音的人，都請求　神不要再向他們多說話； ²⁰因為他們擔當不起那命令：“就是走獸挨近這山，也要用石頭把牠打死。” ²¹當時，顯出的景象是那麼可怕，連摩西也說：“我非常恐懼戰兢。” ²²你們卻是來到錫安山和永活的　神的城，就是天上的耶路撒冷；在那裡有千萬的天使聚集， ²³有名字登記在天上眾長子的教會，有審判眾人的　神，有被成全的義人的靈魂， ²⁴有新約的中保耶穌，還有他所灑的血。這血所傳的信息比亞伯的血所傳的更美。

²⁵你們要謹慎，不要棄絕那位說話的，因為從前的人棄絕了那位在地上警戒他們的，尚且不能逃罪；何況現在我們背棄那位從天上警戒我們的呢？ ²⁶當時他的聲音震動了地；現在他卻應許說：“下一次，我不但要震動地，還要震動天。” ²⁷“下一次”這句話，是表明那些被震動的，要像被造之物那樣被除去，好使那些不能震動的可以留存， ²⁸因此，我們既然領受了不能震動的國，就應該感恩，照著　神所喜悅的，用虔誠敬畏的心事奉他； ²⁹因為我們的　神是烈火。

Hebrews 12

The Message

Discipline in a Long-Distance Race

12 ^1-3Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

^4-11In this all-out match against sin, others have suffered far worse than you, to say nothing of what Jesus went through—all that bloodshed! So don’t feel sorry for yourselves. Or have you forgotten how good parents treat children, and that God regards you as his children?

My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline,
but don’t be crushed by it either.
It’s the child he loves that he disciplines;
the child he embraces, he also corrects.

God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Would you prefer an irresponsible God? We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God’s training so we can truly live? While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them. But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God’s holy best. At the time, discipline isn’t much fun. It always feels like it’s going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off big-time, for it’s the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God.

^12-13So don’t sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it!

^14-17Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you’ll never get so much as a glimpse of God. Make sure no one gets left out of God’s generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time. Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite. You well know how Esau later regretted that impulsive act and wanted God’s blessing—but by then it was too late, tears or no tears.

An Unshakable Kingdom

^18-21Unlike your ancestors, you didn’t come to Mount Sinai—all that volcanic blaze and earthshaking rumble—to hear God speak. The earsplitting words and soul-shaking message terrified them and they begged him to stop. When they heard the words—“If an animal touches the Mountain, it’s as good as dead”—they were afraid to move. Even Moses was terrified.

^22-24No, that’s not your experience at all. You’ve come to Mount Zion, the city where the living God resides. The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive angels and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is Judge, with judgments that make us just. You’ve come to Jesus, who presents us with a new covenant, a fresh charter from God. He is the Mediator of this covenant. The murder of Jesus, unlike Abel’s—a homicide that cried out for vengeance—became a proclamation of grace.

^25-27So don’t turn a deaf ear to these gracious words. If those who ignored earthly warnings didn’t get away with it, what will happen to us if we turn our backs on heavenly warnings? His voice that time shook the earth to its foundations; this time—he’s told us this quite plainly—he’ll also rock the heavens: “One last shaking, from top to bottom, stem to stern.” The phrase “one last shaking” means a thorough housecleaning, getting rid of all the historical and religious junk so that the unshakable essentials stand clear and uncluttered.

^28-29Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire!
