纲目

1七弟兄相爱（philadelphia，非拉铁非）是弟兄的情爱，就是一种以喜悦和快乐为特征的爱；在敬虔，就是彰显神的事上，需要供应这爱，使我们能维持弟兄的关系，能对世人作见证，并能结果子——7节上，彼前二17，三8，加六10，约十三34～35，十五16～17。

2八在我们里面神圣性情终极的发展乃是爱——agape，阿嘎沛，此字原文在新约中用以指神圣的爱，就是神在祂性情上的所是——彼后一7下，约壹四8、16：

31 弟兄相爱需要进一步发展成为更高尚、更崇高的爱——彼后一7下。

42 当我们享受神的性情时，我们需要让我们所分得之信的神圣种子得以发展，直到完成于神圣、更高尚的爱——5～7节。

53 我们有分于神的性情到极点，就被神这爱充满，我们就成为爱的人，甚至就是爱本身——弗三19。

6彼后一7 在敬虔上供应弟兄相爱，在弟兄相爱上供应爱。

62 Pet. 1:7 And in godliness, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love.

7彼前三8 总之，你们众人都要心思一致，同情体恤，弟兄相爱，心存慈怜，心思卑微。

71 Pet. 3:8 And finally be all of the same mind, sympathetic, loving the brothers, tenderhearted, humble-minded.

8弟兄相爱，原文由“有情爱为着”和“弟兄”组成；所以是弟兄的情爱，就是一种以喜悦和快乐为特征的爱。

8The Greek word rendered “brotherly love” is philadelphia, composed of phileo, “to have affection for,” and adelphos, “a brother”; hence, brotherly affection, a love characterized by delight and pleasure.

9彼后一章七节的爱，原文在新约中用以指神圣的爱，就是神在祂性情上的所是（约壹四8、16）。这比人的爱高尚，妆饰基督徒生活的一切品质。……这比人的爱能力更强，度量更广（太五44、46），信徒若凭着神圣的生命而活（彼后一3），并有分于神的性情（4），就能被这爱浸透，并将这爱完全彰显出来。这样的爱需要在弟兄相爱上得着发展，以管治弟兄相爱，并在其中流通，好完全彰显是这爱的神（彼得后书生命读经，五六至五七页）。

9The Greek word for love in 2 Peter 1:7 is agape, the word used in the New Testament for the divine love, which God is in His nature (1 John 4:8, 16). It is nobler than phileo, human love. It adorns all the qualities of the Christian life…It is stronger in ability and greater in capacity than human love (Matt. 5:44, 46), yet a believer who lives by the divine life (2 Pet. 1:3) and partakes of the divine nature (v. 4) can be saturated with it and express it in full. Such a love needs to be developed in brotherly love to govern it and flow in it for the full expression of God, who is this love. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 47-48)

Today’s Reading

10彼得在前书一章的思想是三一神完全的救恩产生圣别和弟兄相爱。圣别与敬虔有关。因此，神完全救恩的结果是神的彰显和弟兄相爱。

10Peter’s thought in [1 Peter 1] is that the full salvation of the Triune God issues in holiness and brotherly love. Holiness is related to godliness. Hence, the issue of God’s full salvation is the expression of God and the love for the brothers.

11在质上，可能也在量上，神圣的爱都超过人的爱。有时候，我们也许用一点弟兄的爱，狭窄、有限地爱弟兄。在我们的爱里也许有偏爱，我们也许爱某些弟兄过于别人。……因为彼得很老练，并知道圣徒中间的情况，所以他不停在弟兄相爱，而往前说到爱，说到神圣的爱，就是父神用以爱全人类，爱信徒和罪人，那深刻、高尚的爱。

11In quality and perhaps also in quantity, agape is greater than phileo. Sometimes we may love the brothers in a narrow, limited way with a certain amount of brotherly love. In our love we may have preferences and love certain brothers more than others…Because Peter was experienced and knew the situation among the saints, he did not stop with brotherly love but went on to speak of love, of agape, the deep and noble love with which God the Father loves all mankind, both believers and sinners.

12在马太五章四十四至四十七节主耶稣说，“但是我告诉你们，要爱你们的仇敌，为那逼迫你们的祷告，你们就可以作你们诸天之上父的儿子；因为祂叫祂的日头上升，照恶人，也照好人；降雨给义人，也给不义的人。你们若爱那爱你们的人，有什么赏赐？税吏不也是这样行么？……”正如神降雨给义人，也给不义的人，照样，我们应当不仅爱我们的弟兄，也爱我们的仇敌。人要爱自己的弟兄，不需要花许多力量或精力。但要爱我们的仇敌，的确需要特别的力量和精力。我们都需要有这高尚的爱。

12In Matthew 5:44-47 the Lord Jesus said, “I say to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?…” As God sends rain upon both the just and the unjust, so we should love not only our brothers but also our enemies. It does not take much strength or energy for someone to love his own brother. But it does take a special strength and energy to love our enemies. We all need to have this noble love.

13在召会生活中，我们也许较喜欢某位我们认为好的弟兄而爱他，但我们也许不怎么欣赏另一位弟兄。我们也许对两位弟兄都有爱，但那爱是肤浅的。所以，我们需要更深刻、更高尚的爱。这爱是神圣的爱。我们有了这样的爱，就同样地爱众弟兄，无论他们是怎样的弟兄。

13In the church life we may prefer a certain brother whom we regard as nice and love him, but we may not appreciate another brother as much. We may have love for both brothers, but that love is shallow. Therefore, we need a deeper, nobler love [agape]. When we have this kind of love, we love all the brothers the same, no matter what kind of brothers they may be.

14彼后一章五至七节有从信到爱的发展。这发展包括美德、知识、节制、忍耐和敬虔。至终，有完全的发展和成熟，从信的种子，经过美德和知识的根，节制的干，以及忍耐和敬虔的枝子，到弟兄相爱和爱的花和果子。

14In 2 Peter 1:5-7 we have the development from faith to love. This development includes virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, and godliness. Eventually, we have the full development and maturity from the seed of faith, through the roots of virtue and knowledge, the trunk of self-control, and the branches of endurance and godliness, to the blossom and the fruit of brotherly love and love.

15在八节彼得接着说，“因为这几样存在你们里面，且不断增多，就必将你们构成非闲懒不结果子的，以致充分地认识我们的主耶稣基督。”“这几样”，指五至七节所说，从信到爱的一切美德。信、美德、知识、节制、忍耐、敬虔、弟兄相爱和爱，都该存在我们里面。然而，这些只是神圣的能力所赐给我们一切事的几样。我们需要看见，所有这些事都包括在种子里面。这种子包含了根、干、枝子、花和果子（彼得后书生命读经，五七至五九页）。

15In verse 8 Peter goes on to say, “For these things, existing in you and abounding, constitute you neither idle nor unfruitful unto the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The words these things refer to all the virtues covered in verses 5 through 7, from faith to love. Faith, virtue, knowledge, selfcontrol, endurance, godliness, brotherly love, and love should all exist in us. Nevertheless, these are only some of the “all things” that have been granted to us by the divine power. We need to see that all these things are included in the seed. This seed contains the root, the trunk, the branches, the blossom, and the fruit. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 48-49)

今日要点

17主题：在弟兄相爱上，充足的供应爱

181.在弟兄相爱上，充足的供应爱：

19a.昨天说到从信的种子发展美德和知识的根、节制的干，以及忍耐和敬虔的枝子之后，彼后一7说，『在敬虔上供应弟兄相爱，在弟兄相爱上供应爱』，弟兄相爱，原文是由情爱和弟兄所组成，所以是弟兄的情爱，就是一种以喜悦和快乐为特征的爱，在敬虔，就是彰显神的事上，需要供应弟兄相爱，好维持弟兄的关系，能对世人作见证，并能结果子。

20b. 然而，发展到弟兄相爱还不够，因为我们的爱其实是狭窄、有限的爱，甚至是偏爱，这样的爱是肤浅的，所以彼得最后说，在弟兄相爱上要供应爱，彼得很老练，他知道圣徒中间的情况，所以他没有停在弟兄相爱，而往前说到爱，爱的原文，agape，在新约中指神圣的爱，就是神在祂性情上的所是。

212.神圣生命和性情完满发展，乃是爱：

22a.在我们里面神圣性情终极的发展，乃是agape，神圣的爱，这说出，弟兄相爱需要进一步发展成为更高尚、更崇高的爱，有了这样的爱，我们就能同样的爱众弟兄，无论他们的景况如何

23b.当我们享受神的性情时，我们需要让我们所分得之信的神圣种子得以发展，直到完成于神圣、更高尚的爱，也就是说，不仅有根、有干、有枝子，还有弟兄相爱的花和神圣之爱的果子，当我们这样有分于神的性情到极点，我们就被神这爱所充满，使我们成为爱的人，甚至就是爱的本身。

24应用：我们只需要承认，我们凭着自己天然的爱，是无法实行弟兄相爱的，跟我们好的，变成溺爱，跟我们不一样的，爱不来，为此我们要让神圣性情发展成神圣的爱，使我们被这爱所充满，而用这爱来爱神，并爱召会中的每一位弟兄姊妹，无论他们是怎样的人。
