13我们受改正以后,就会得着正确的教导—在义上的教导。这里保罗提到教训、督责和改正时,没有使用任何形容词,提到教导时却使用形容词,说到在义上的教导。义就是对的意思。因此,这里的教导,是要我们成为对的。……我们受督责并受责备,原因是我们在许多不同方式和方面都是错误的。我们也许对神,对基督,并对那灵是错误的。我们也许对召会,对弟兄姊妹,对我们的丈夫或妻子,对我们的父母,对我们的儿女,对我们的邻居,甚至对我们自己,也是错误的。我们也许在用钱的方式上,在用时间的方式上,在穿着的方式上,或在梳理头发上,都是错误的。因着我们也许在许多不同的事上是错误的,我们就在读圣经时受所得的启示责备。
13After we have been corrected, we will receive the proper instruction—the instruction in righteousness. Whereas Paul here does not use any modifiers for teaching, conviction, and correction, he does use a modifier for instruction and speaks of the instruction in righteousness. Righteousness is a matter of being right. Hence, the instruction here is for us to be right. The reason we are convicted and rebuked is that we are wrong in many different ways and aspects. We may be wrong with God, with Christ, and with the Spirit. We may be wrong with the church, with the brothers and sisters, with our husband or wife, with our parents, with our children, with our neighbors, and even with ourselves. We may be wrong in the way we spend our money, in the way we spend our time, in the way we dress, or in the way we style our hair. Because we may be wrong in so many different things, we are rebuked by the revelation we receive when we read the Scriptures.
