纲目
1四 彼前一章十七节所说,父所施行的审判,不是将来的审判,乃是神现今、每天在行政上对付祂儿女所施行的审判:
1
21 父重生了我们,为要产生圣别的家庭——圣别的父同圣别的儿女——3、15、17节。
2
32 我们既是圣别的儿女,就该照圣别的生活方式而行(15~16);不然,父神在祂的行政里就要成为审判者,对付我们的不圣(四15~17,来十二9~10)。
3
4五 神行政中管教的审判,要从神的家起首——彼前四17
4

6彼前一15~17 却要照着那呼召你们的圣者,在一切行事为人上,也成为圣的;因为经上记着:‘你们要圣别,因为我是圣别的。’你们既称那不偏待人,按各人行为审判的为父,就当在你们寄居的时日中,凭着敬畏行事为人。
61 Pet. 1:15-17 But according to the Holy One who called you, you yourselves also be holy in all your manner of life; because it is written, “You shall be holy because I am holy.” And if you call as Father the One who without respect of persons judges according to each one’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear.
7我们借着那灵的圣别,在一切行事为人上成为圣的。这是基于那把神圣别的性情带给我们,并产生圣别生活的重生。……我们自己需要成为圣的。这不仅仅是穿某种衣服或不化妆的事。那种圣的观念太表面。我们的所是,我们的性情,我们的全人,都该成为圣的。这是叫我们在一切行事为人上成为圣的。……神的子民应当圣别,因为神自己是圣别的。
7We are holy in all our manner of life through the sanctification of the Spirit. This is based on regeneration, which brings us the holy nature of God and issues in a holy life. We ourselves need to be holy. This is not merely a matter of wearing a certain kind of clothing or of not wearing makeup. That concept of holiness is too outward. Our being, our disposition, our entire person, should be holy. This is for us to be holy in all our manner of life. God’s people should be holy because God Himself is holy.
8那呼召我们的圣者,就是父,祂重生了我们,为要产生圣别的家庭—圣别的父同圣别的儿女。我们既是圣别的儿女,就该照圣别的生活方式而行。……祂在我们里面用生命生了我们,使我们有祂圣别的性情;在我们外面用审判管教我们,使我们有分于祂的圣别(来十二9~10)。祂是照着我们的行为、工作审判我们,祂并不偏待人。……我们若称祂为父,也当敬畏祂是审判我们的,并凭着敬畏过圣别的生活(彼得前书生命读经,一○九至一一○页)。
8The Holy One, who as the Father has called us, has regenerated us to produce a holy family—a holy Father with holy children. As holy children, we should walk in a holy manner of life…He begot us with life inwardly that we might have His holy nature. He disciplines us with judgment outwardly that we may partake of His holiness (Heb. 12:9-10). His judgment is according to our work, our conduct, without respect of persons…If we call Him our Father, we also should fear Him as our Judge and live a holy life in fear. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 91-92)

9在彼前一章十七节,彼得“不是说到那对人末后的审判;……这里所说的,乃是神在这世上每天对祂儿女所施行之行政的审判……”(Darby,达秘)。这是神对自己家人的审判(四17)。
9In 1 Peter 1:17 Peter “is not speaking of the final judgment of the soul…The thing spoken of here is the daily judgment of God’s government in this world, exercised with regard to His children…” (Darby). This is God’s judgment on His own household (4:17).
10在四章十七节彼得说,“因为时候到了,审判要从神的家起首。若是先从我们起首,那不信从神福音的人,将有何等的结局?”彼得前书特别在神对祂所拣选之人的对付上,指出神的行政。他们在火炼的逼迫中所经历的苦难,是神审判他们的凭借,使他们受管教、被炼净,从不信的人中圣别出来,不和他们有一样的定命。因此,这种管教的审判,要从神自己的家起首,不是一次两次就作完的,乃是一直不断地直到主来。
10First Peter 4:17 says, “For it is time for the judgment to begin from the house of God; and if first from us, what will be the end of those who disobey the gospel of God?” This book shows the government of God especially in relation to His dealings with His chosen people. The sufferings they undergo in fiery persecution are used by Him as a means to judge them that they may be disciplined, purified, and separated from the unbelievers and not have the same destiny as they. Hence, such disciplinary judgment begins from His own household, and it is not exercised just once or twice but is being carried out continuously until the Lord’s coming.
11十七节的家也是家人的意思。这里是指由信徒组成的召会(二5来三6提前三15弗二19)。神从这家,就是祂自己的家起首,借着对自己儿女管教的审判,施行祂行政的管理,使祂有坚定的立场,在祂宇宙的国里,审判那些不信从祂福音,以及背叛祂行政的人。这是为了建立祂的国,乃是彼得后书所论到的(一11)。
11[God’s] house, or household, refers to the church, composed of the believers (2:5; Heb. 3:6; 1 Tim. 3:15; Eph. 2:19). From this house, as His own house, God begins His governmental administration by God’s disciplinary judgment over His own children, that He may have strong ground to judge, in His universal kingdom, those who are disobedient to His gospel and rebellious toward His government. This is for the establishing of His kingdom, which is covered in the second book (2 Pet. 1:11).
12彼前一章十七节所说的,是神在这世上每天对祂儿女所施行之行政的审判。……神每天的审判不是施行在堕落的罪人身上,乃是施行在神的儿女身上。……反对神话语里这种教导的人也许说,“我们是神恩典的儿女,怎么可能受神审判?神是我们的父,祂爱我们,并赐恩典给我们。祂怎能作审判我们的事?”……一面,神在祂的行政之下恩待我们,使我们过合乎祂义的生活;另一面,祂审判任何不符合祂行政的事物。所以,在今世我们信徒乃是在神每天的审判之下。
12What we have in 1 Peter 1:17 is the daily judgment of God’s government in the world, a judgment that is exercised with regard to His children…The daily judgment of God is not exercised upon fallen sinners; instead, it is exercised upon God’s children. Those who oppose this teaching from the Word may say, “How is it possible for us, God’s children in grace, to be judged by God? God is our Father, and He loves us and gives us grace. How could He do something to judge us?”…On the one hand, God is gracing us to live a life that suits His righteousness under His government. On the other hand, He judges anything that does not match His government. Therefore, in this age we the believers are under the daily judgment of God.
13这样的审判是我们这些神的儿女在地上寄居的时日,施行在我们身上的。所以,这审判不是在将来,乃是我们今天所经历的审判。主在约翰五章二十二节的话指永远的审判,在白色宝座前对不信者的审判。但这里的审判是神现今在祂儿女(不是不信者)身上的审判(彼得前书生命读经,一一一、三○四、三一○至三一一、三二三至三二四页)。
13This kind of judgment is exercised upon us, the children of God, while we are passing the time of our sojourning on earth…The Lord’s word in John 5:22 refers to eternal judgment, to the judgment of unbelievers at the great white throne. But the judgment here is the present judgment of God upon His children, not on unbelievers. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 92, 252, 257, 268)

今日要点
15主题:借着神行政的审判,产生圣别的家庭
15
161.借着神行政的审判,产生圣别的家庭:
16
17a.彼前一15~17说,『却要照着那呼召你们的圣者,在一切行事为人上,也成为圣的;因为经上记着:「你们要圣别,因为我是圣别的。」你们既称那不偏待人,按各人行为审判的为父,就当在你们寄居的时日中,凭着敬畏行事为人』,彼得在这段经文所说,父所施行的审判,不是将来的审判,乃是神现今、每天在行政上对神儿女所施行的审判。
17
18b.这段经文也启示出,神是圣别的,祂重生了我们,乃是要产生一个圣别的家庭,得着我们作为圣别的儿女,我们已经借着神的生命得着重生,使我们有祂圣别的性情,但我们时常活在天然性情里,没有照着圣别的生活方式而行,所以祂兴起审判来管教我们,使我们能在一切的行事为人上,成为圣别的,与祂一样。
18
192.神行政的审判不在将来,而是今时、持续不断的:
19
20a. 这些散居的犹太信徒,在火炼的逼迫中所经历的苦难,只是神审判他们的凭借,使他们受管教、被炼净,从不信的人中圣别出来,免得跟外邦人同样的定命和结局,这也就是审判要从神的家起首的原因,因此,这种管教的审判,不是那日才来到,也不是一次就完成的,而是今时、一直不断地,直到主的回来。
20
21b.在17节说,在寄居的时日中,指明这样的审判,乃是神在这世上每天对祂儿女所施行之行政的审判,因此,不要觉得神不是施恩典的神?不然干嘛信主?这样说也没错,一面,神在祂的行政之下恩待我们,使我们过合乎祂义的生活,另一面,在寄居的时日中,祂也我们审判任何不符合祂行政的事物。
21
22应用:我们不该反对神话语的教导,说,『我们是神恩典的儿女,怎么可能受审判?祂怎能对我们作审判的事情? 』反之,我们该学习借着这些外面的审判,转向主,向主祷告,里面被洁净、被炼净,而使我们凭着敬畏行事为人。
