14一面来说，人若没有经历，就不能传真理。但另一面说，人必须知道真理与他自己没有关系。人若到一个地步，无法再抗拒神的话，被这话定罪，他就能得到光。这个乃是启示的根据，是得启示的秘诀。古今中外，所有看见光的人从来不委屈神的话。我来不及，我要追上去，我跟着主的话走。我若赶不上，我只说我有罪。这样，路就越过越清楚，你就越走越有光。不然的话，你读真理、传真理都成为白说、白传的（倪柝声文集第三辑第十一册，一五二至一五四页）。
14On the one hand, a man cannot preach the truth unless he has the experience. But on the other hand, a person has to know that the truth has nothing to do with him. If a man is brought to a point that he can no longer withstand God’s word and he finds God’s word condemning him, he will receive the light. This is the basis of revelation; it is the secret to receiving revelation. Throughout history no one who has received God’s light sacrificed God’s word. If we are not up to the standard of God’s word, we have to catch up, and we have to go along with God’s word. If we cannot catch up, we can only say that we have sinned. If we do this, the way ahead will be clear, and we will have more and more light. Otherwise, our reading and preaching of the truth will become vain talk and vain preaching.
