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。
1
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：
2
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。
3
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。
4
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约壹四16 神在我们身上的爱，我们也知道也信。神就是爱，住在爱里面的，就住在神里面，神也住在他里面。
61 John 4:16 And we know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him.
7太五44~45 ……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。
7Matt. 5:44-45 …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.
8在召会生活中，弟兄姊妹也许彼此相爱，但他们的爱也许相当肤浅。在他们的爱里，也许没有生命的供应，也没有能施医治的“抗生素”。这就是说，他们的爱缺少神圣的爱。但在彼得所说对弟兄的爱里，有另一种元素，这元素就是神圣的爱，这爱以智慧供应我们，使我们合式地爱弟兄。有时候我们愚昧地、以能惯坏别人的作法爱他们。我们没有智慧，以使他们能得着生命的供应并得滋养的作法爱他们。神的爱不但滋养人，也包含能施医治且预防疾病的属灵抗生素。我们若以神圣的爱爱弟兄，就会将这样的抗生素注入他们里面。例如，你也许晓得弟兄有某种缺欠或软弱。你知道教导或改正不会帮助弟兄。这位弟兄需要人以高尚的爱爱他。你若以这种爱爱他，他就会得着生命的供应，以及能杀死他里面“病菌”的抗生素。在召会生活中，我们需要有辨识、不愚昧地彼此相爱。我们需要带着滋养弟兄并帮助他们得医治的崇高目的来爱他们（彼得后书生命读经，七○页）。
8The brothers and sisters in the church life may love one another, but their love may be rather superficial. In their love there may be no life supply and no “antibiotic” to foster healing. This means that their love is lacking in agape. But in Peter’s love for the brothers, there is another element, and this element is the divine love, a love that supplies us with wisdom to love the brothers in a proper way. Sometimes we love others foolishly, in a way that can spoil them. We do not have the wisdom to love them in a way that will enable them to receive the life supply and be nourished. God’s love is not only nourishing but also contains a spiritual antibiotic that fosters healing and prevents illness. If we love the brothers with divine love, we will infuse such an antibiotic into them. For example, you may realize that a brother has a certain shortage or weakness. You know that teaching or correction will not help the brother. This brother needs to be loved with a noble love. If you love him with this kind of love, he will receive the life supply and an antibiotic that can kill the “germs” within him. In the church life we need to love one another with discernment, not foolishly. We need to love the brothers with the high purpose of nourishing them and helping them to be healed. (Life-study of 2 Peter, p. 59)

Today’s Reading
9马太五章四十五节告诉我们，神降雨给义人，也给不义的人。但祂这样作是有智慧的。……祂爱他们，但祂是有辨识地爱他们。同样，我们不该不爱圣徒。我们该爱众弟兄，但我们该有辨识地爱他们，……也总该照着度量或在界限之内。我们若过度爱某位弟兄，那爱也许就惯坏他。我们需要只爱他到某个地步就可以了。但另一位弟兄也许需要更大量的爱。这样爱别人，就是不仅仅以弟兄的情爱爱他们，更是以神圣的爱爱他们。
9Matthew 5:45 tells us that God sends rain on both the just and the unjust. But He does this with wisdom…He loves them with discernment. Likewise, we should not withhold love from the saints. We should love all the brothers, but we should love them with discernment [and also] according to a measure or within a limitation. If we love a brother excessively, that love may spoil him. We need to love him only to a certain extent. But another brother may be in need of a greater measure of love. To love others in this way is to love them not merely with brotherly affection but also with agape.
10我们爱弟兄常在于我们情感的起伏。……有些弟兄的情绪高昂时，几乎会作任何事帮助你。但他们一旦情绪低落，就一点也不愿意帮助人。这种弟兄虽然爱圣徒，却是照着情感的起伏不定爱他们。那种爱不是神圣的爱。神圣的爱不在于我们情感的起伏。因为这爱起源于神圣的生命，它就不改变。我们需要学习以这神圣的爱爱弟兄，不以那在于我们情感起伏的爱爱弟兄。
10Often our brotherly love is dependent on the tide of our emotions…When the emotional tide of some brothers is high, they will do almost anything to help you. But when the emotional tide is low, they are not willing to help at all…That kind of love is not agape. The divine love does not depend on our emotional tide. Because this love has its source in the divine life, it does not change. We need to learn to love the brothers with this divine love, not with the love that depends on the tide of our emotions.
11神的爱是始终如一的。我们若以这爱爱别人，也会是始终如一的。每当有人接触我们的时候，我们的爱会是相同的。我们总会有辨识并照着别人的需要爱他们。我们也许晓得一位弟兄需要多少爱，所以我们会量出、分配出那么多的爱给他；但另一位弟兄也许需要不同分量的爱应付他的需要。这是一种高尚的爱。
11God’s love is consistent. If we love others with this love, we will also be consistent. Whenever someone contacts us, we will be the same with respect to our love. We will always love others with discernment and according to their need. We may realize that one brother needs a certain measure of love. Therefore, we will measure out, mete out, that much love to him. But another brother may need a different measure of love to meet his need. This is a noble kind of love.
12我们在婚姻生活和家庭生活中需要有这神圣的爱。彼得嘱咐作丈夫的要按妻子应得的分敬重她（彼前三7）。这需要高尚的爱。
12We need to have this divine love in our married life and family life. Peter charges the husbands to assign honor to the wife (1 Pet. 3:7). This requires a noble love.
13姊妹一般是用情感，没有辨识或不适度地爱丈夫。这样的姊妹高兴或情绪高昂时，就会因此爱丈夫。但她若不高兴或生气，就不会爱他。那种爱是情感的，不包含神圣之爱的元素。然而，一位在主里较为老练的姊妹，会始终如一地爱丈夫和儿女，但她的爱总是适度且有辨识的。这种爱必是高尚的爱（彼得后书生命读经，七○至七二页）。
13It is common for sisters to love their husbands emotionally and without discernment or measure. When such a sister is happy or high in her emotion, she will love her husband accordingly. But if she is unhappy or angry, she will not love him. That kind of love is emotional and does not contain the element of agape. However, another sister, with more experience in the Lord, will consistently love her husband and children but will always love with a measure and with discernment. This kind of love is surely a noble love. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 59-61)

今日要点
15主题：享受神的性情，成为爱的人，甚至就是爱本身
15
161.享受神的性情，经历发展完成于爱：
16
17A.我们要发展神圣的生命和神圣的性情，从信发展到agape的爱，彼得这样的思想完全符合圣经，在旧约我们可看见圣殿的两根柱子上有百合花，说出凭信信靠，也有石榴，说出生命的彰显，此外在雅歌也可见，佳偶开始被形容为百合花，之后两腮如同一块石榴，这都说出神圣生命和神圣性情的发展，不能停在弟兄相爱，还要发展到爱。
17
18B.在召会生活中，弟兄姊妹也许彼此相爱，但他们的爱也许相当肤浅，缺少生命的供应，也没有因彼此相爱而带来施行医治的抗生素，这样的弟兄相爱，可能会成为愚昧的、以能惯坏别人的作法来爱，并且我们的爱，也时常受到自身情绪的起伏，情绪高昂就爱，情绪低落就不爱了，为此我们要分外殷勤，得着充足的供应，好能充足的供应爱。
18
192.被爱充满，成为爱的人，甚至就是爱本身：
19
20A.在约壹四16说，『神在我们身上的爱，我们也知道也信。神就是爱，住在爱里面的，就住在神里面，神也住在他里面』，这里说到「神就是爱」，这里的爱也是agape，指神圣的爱，高尚的爱，就是神在祂性情上的所是，在召会生活中，我们需要有辨识、不愚昧的彼此相爱，不仅仅以弟兄的情爱爱弟兄，更是以神圣的爱爱弟兄。
20
21B.太五44~45说，『...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』，这段指出，神的爱是有辨识的，也是始终如一的，但我们的爱时常过度，或是不及，过度时就成了溺爱，惯坏别人，也可能看不惯别人，而爱的不足，我们需发展神圣生命和神圣性情，达到agape的爱。
21
22应用：借着让神圣的生命和神圣的性情得着发展，达到神圣、崇高的爱，而使我们在婚姻生活、家庭生活，甚至召会中接触人的时候，不受情感的起伏影响，能够像神一样，始终如一的爱人。
