9彼前四19 所以那照神旨意受苦的人,也要在善行上,将他们的魂交与那信实的创造主。
91 Pet. 4:19 So then let those also who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
10二24 祂在木头上,在祂的身体里,亲自担当了我们的罪,使我们既然向罪死了,就得以向义活着……。
102:24 Who Himself bore up our sins in His body on the tree, in order that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness…
11彼前四章十九节……这里神的旨意,乃是要我们,且已经派定我们,为基督的缘故受苦。
11The will of God here in 1 Peter 4:19 is that He wants us to suffer for Christ’s sake and has appointed us to this.
12这里的交与,原文意交托;像存款一样托人看管。……信徒在身体上遭受逼迫,特别在殉道时,该将他们的魂像存款一样交与神,就是那信实的创造主,正如主将祂的灵交与父一样(路二三46)。逼迫只能伤害受苦信徒的身体,不能伤害他们的魂(太十28)。……他们该凭着他们信心的交托与主合作(彼得前书生命读经,三一八页)。
12Literally commit here means “to give in charge as a deposit.”…When the believers suffer persecution in their body, especially as in martyrdom, they should commit their souls as a deposit to God, the faithful Creator, as the Lord committed His spirit to the Father (Luke 23:46). Persecution can damage only the bodies of the suffering believers, not their souls (Matt. 10:28)…They should cooperate with the Lord by their commitment in faith. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 263-264)

13逼迫是在旧造里的苦难。神是我们的创造主,能保全祂为我们所造的魂。连我们的头发祂都数过了(太十30)。祂既慈爱又信实。祂慈爱信实地照顾(彼前五7),随同着祂在行政管理中的公平。当祂在行政上审判我们这些家人时,祂的爱仍然信实地照顾我们。我们在身体上遭受祂公平管教的审判时,该把自己的魂交与祂信实的照顾。
13Persecution is a suffering in the old creation. God as our Creator can preserve our soul, which He created for us. He has even numbered our hairs (Matt. 10:30). He is loving and faithful. His loving and faithful care (1 Pet. 5:7) accompanies His justice in His governmental administration. While He is judging us, His household, in His government, His love cares for us faithfully. In suffering His just disciplinary judgment in our bodies, we should commit our souls to His faithful care.
14向罪死了〔彼前二24〕,直译,脱开了罪。基督在十字架上,担当了我们的罪而死了,那死……了结我们,这了结能使我们远离罪。人要远离罪行或罪性,最好的路就是被治死。……彼得说到远离罪;保罗说到死了的人是已经从罪开释了。借着基督的死,我们就能远离罪,使我们得以向义活着。
14Having died to sins [2:24] literally means “being away from sins.” When Christ bore up our sins on the cross and died, that death…terminated us, and this termination can keep us away from sin. The best way for people to be kept from sins or from sin is for them to be put to death…Peter speaks of being away from sins; Paul speaks of the one who has died being free from sin. Through Christ’s death we can be kept away from sins so that we may live to righteousness.
15十字架主观的方面,今天借着那灵就得以在我们的经历中持续进行。赐生命的灵在我们里面不断作工,在我们这人里面完成基督十字架主观的方面。我们天天经历基督的十字架内里的工作,我们天天得以活过来,使我们可以向义活着。所以,要胜过罪并不困难,因为借着基督的死,我们就远离了罪。祂的死在我们与罪之间画了分界线。我们远离了罪,现今乃是活的。……我们只要活,这生活总是倾向义的。这就是经历我们的救主天天拯救我们。
15The subjective aspect of the cross continues in our experience today by the Spirit. The life-giving Spirit is working within us continually to carry out the subjective aspect of Christ’s cross in our being. Daily we are undergoing the inward working of the cross of Christ, and daily we are being made alive so that we may live to righteousness. Therefore, it is not difficult to overcome sins, because through Christ’s death we are being kept away from sins. His death has drawn a separating line between us and sins. Being kept away from sins, now we are alive…We simply live, and this living always has an inclination toward righteousness. This is the experience of our Savior saving us daily.
16我们呼求主的名,并与祂有交通,赐生命的灵就在我们里面运行。我们自然而然就经历十字架主观的工作,使我们与罪分开,叫我们自动向义活着。
16When we call on the name of the Lord and have fellowship with Him, the life-giving Spirit operates within us. Spontaneously, we experience the subjective working of the cross to make a separation between us and sins so that we automatically live to righteousness.
17现在我们需要问,为什么彼得用“向义活着”〔24〕这辞。这与满足神行政的要求有关。事实上,神的行政只要求一件事—义。……在彼前二章二十三节我们看见,主耶稣一直将一切交给那按公义审判的一位。然后在二十四节彼得指明我们该向义活着。这里彼得的观念是行政的;义是神行政的事。我们已蒙我们的救主拯救,使我们过一种与神行政公义要求相配的生活。
17Now we need to ask why Peter uses the expression live to righteousness [v. 24]. This is related to the fulfilling of God’s governmental requirements. Actually, God’s government requires just one thing—righteousness…In 1 Peter 2:23 we see that the Lord Jesus continually committed all to the One who judges righteously. Then in verse 24 Peter indicates that we should live to righteousness. Peter’s concept here is governmental; righteousness is a matter of God’s government. We have been saved by our Savior to live a life that matches the righteous requirements of God’s government.
18神是公义的,祂的行政建立在公义上。诗篇八十九篇十四节说,公义是神宝座的根基。所以,我们这些神的子民活在祂的行政之下,必须有公义的生活。我们必须向义活着。但因着我们在自己里面无法过这样的生活,救主就拯救我们,好叫我们过义的生活,就是满足神行政公义要求的生活(彼得前书生命读经,三一八至三一九、二二三至二二六页)。
18God is righteous, and His government is established upon righteousness. Psalm 89:14 says that righteousness is the foundation of God’s throne. Therefore, as God’s people living under His government, we must have a righteous life…But because in ourselves we are not able to live this kind of life, the Savior saves us to live a life of righteousness, a life that fulfills the righteous requirements of God’s government. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 264, 188-190)

今日要点
20主题:跟随主的脚踪,在神行政的审判下,将魂交与信实的主
20
211.在神行政的审判下,将魂交与信实的主:
21
22a. 我们既是在基督里的信徒和神的儿女,就该跟随主的榜样,过一种在神行政之下的基督徒生活,彼得以主在十字架上受死,将祂的灵交与父为背景,在彼前四19鼓励信徒说,『所以那照神旨意受苦的人,也要在善行上,将他们的魂交与那信实的主』。
22
23b.这里神的旨意,乃是要我们,且已派定我们,为基督的缘故受苦,而「交与」,原文意交托,像存款人一样托人看管,信徒在身体上受逼迫,甚至殉道时,该将他们的魂像存款一样交与、交托神,因为逼迫只能伤害身体,无法伤害魂,信徒该借着交托与神合作。
23
242.向义活着—过与神行政公义要求相配的生活:
24
25a. 在彼前二24说到,『祂在木头上,在祂的身体里,亲自担当了我们的罪,使我们既然向罪死了,就得以向义活着』,向罪死了,直译,脱开了罪,基督在十字架上,担当了我们的罪而死,那死了结了我们,使我们远离罪,
25
26b. 此外,彼得用「向义活着」这词,与满足神行政的要求有关,因为神的行政只要求「义」,在23节,主将自己交给那按公义审判的父,然后24节,彼得要信徒向义活着,因此,信徒已经蒙主拯救,使我们过一种与神行政公义要求相配的生活,借着我们跟随主的脚踪行,使我们成为祂的复制。
26
27应用:借着每天早晨起来,运用我们的灵向主祷告,而使我们经历那灵的运行,而使我们不仅经历复活的大能,更能经历十字架主观的杀死,使我们胜过肉体、罪、己,而能够向义活着。
