把自己交给上帝

你们之间的冲突和争吵是从哪里来的?它们是来自于你们内在制造战争的自私欲望。 你们索求东西,得不到时就去杀人和嫉妒别人。但是,你们还是得不到你们想要的东西,于是,你们就争吵斗殴。你们之所以得不到想要的东西,是因为你们没有向上帝请求。 或是你们请求后仍得不到,那是因为你们是怀着错误的动机去请求的。你们所求的只是为了自己的寻欢作乐。 你们这些不忠于上帝的人啊!你们难道不知道,爱这个世界就等于憎恨上帝吗?与这个世界为友的人就是在与上帝为敌。 你们认为《经》上的这句话毫无意义吗?经书上说∶上帝使生活在我们之中的灵带着妒意强烈地渴望着。 [a] 但是,上帝所赐的恩典更伟大。就像经上所说的那样∶“上帝排斥骄傲的人,却把恩典赐给谦卑的人。” 因此只要你们服从上帝,抗拒魔鬼,魔鬼就会逃走。 你们接近上帝,上帝就会接近你们。你们这些罪人,洗净你们的双手吧。你们这些三心二意的人,纯净你们的心吧。要把你们生活中的罪恶清除出去。你们追随上帝的同时,又追随着这个世界。纯净你们的思想吧。 悲伤,难过、痛哭吧!把你们的笑声变为痛哭;把你们的欢乐变为悲伤吧。 10 在主的面前谦卑,他就会抬举你们。

你们不是法官

11 兄弟们,不要相互指责。指责或评判兄弟的人就是在指责和评判律法。如果你评判律法,你就没有遵守它,而是在充当法官! 12 只有上帝是立法者、审判者,只有上帝能拯救和毁灭。所以,你是谁,竟来评判你的邻居。

  1. 雅 各 書 4:5 上帝安置在我们里面的灵充满了妒意。

不要与世俗为友

你们彼此冲突、互相斗殴的起因是什么呢?不就是你们身体中不断交战的欲望吗? 你们贪心,得不到就去杀人。你们嫉妒,得不到就争吵、打斗。你们得不到是因为你们不向上帝祈求。 你们求也得不到是因为你们动机不纯,只求享乐和满足自己的欲望。 你们这些对主不忠的人啊,难道还不明白与世俗为友就是与上帝为敌吗?所以,凡是与世俗为友的,都是上帝的敌人。 圣经上说:“上帝所赐、住在我们心里的圣灵深愿我们完全属于祂。”你们以为这是空谈吗? 但上帝赐给我们更大的恩典,所以圣经上说:“上帝阻挡骄傲的人,恩待谦卑的人。”

因此,你们要服从上帝,抵挡魔鬼,魔鬼必逃离你们。 你们亲近上帝,上帝就必亲近你们。有罪的人啊,洗净你们的手吧!三心二意的人啊,洁净你们的心吧! 你们要悲伤、忧愁、痛哭,转欢笑为悲哀,变欢乐为愁苦。 10 你们要在主面前谦卑,祂必擢升你们。

不要论断

11 弟兄姊妹,不要彼此批评。批评、论断弟兄姊妹就等于是批评、论断律法。如果你论断律法,你就不是遵行律法的人,而是以审判者自居。 12 设立律法和审判人的只有一位,就是能拯救人也能毁灭人的上帝。你是谁,竟然论断别人呢?

Submit Yourselves to God

What causes fights and quarrels(A) among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle(B) within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill.(C) You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive,(D) because you ask with wrong motives,(E) that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

You adulterous(F) people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world(G) means enmity against God?(H) Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.(I) Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]?(J) But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”[c](K)

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil,(L) and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.(M) Wash your hands,(N) you sinners, and purify your hearts,(O) you double-minded.(P) Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.(Q) 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.(R)

11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another.(S) Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[d] or judges them(T) speaks against the law(U) and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it,(V) but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge,(W) the one who is able to save and destroy.(X) But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?(Y)
