14神的性情是指神的所是,就是神所是的丰富、元素和构成成分(约四24,约壹一5,四8,16)。神圣的性情,主要指神圣生命的构成,神的构成,乃是由那灵、爱、光所构成。……我们这些神的儿女乃是神人,从神而生,拥有神的生命和性情,属于神的种类(三1,约一12~13)。我们重生时,有另一个性情分赐到我们里面;这是神的性情,神圣的性情。神圣的性情既是在神圣的生命里,我们重生所得的神圣生命里面就有神圣的性情(三3,5~6,15)。凡信入神儿子的人就由神而生,并有权利成为神的儿女;因此,信徒有权利有分于、享受神的性情(一12~13)(新约总论第十三册,二八四至二八五页)。 14The divine nature refers to what God is, that is, the riches, the elements, and the constituents of God’s being (John 4:24; 1 John 1:5; 4:8, 16). The divine nature, which mainly refers to the constitution of the divine life, the constitution of God, is constituted with Spirit, love, and light…As the children of God, we are God-men, born of God, possessing the life and nature of God, and belonging to the species of God (3:1; John 1:12-13). At our regeneration, another nature was imparted into us; this is the nature of God, the divine nature. Because the divine nature is in the divine life, the divine life with which we were born again has the divine nature within it (3:3, 5-6,15). Whoever believes into the Son of God is born of God and has the right to become a child of God; thus, a believer has the right to partake of, to enjoy, the nature of God (1:12-13).
