纲目

1九在神圣的生命里发展属灵的美德，因而在神圣生命的成长里往前，使神对我们的呼召和拣选坚定不移——彼后一10。

2十我们应当殷勤追求神圣生命和神圣性情的长大并发展，好丰富进入永远的国——10～11节：

31 我们在神圣生命和神圣性情的发展里所享受全备的供应（3～7），必充分地供应我们，使我们丰富地进入我们主永远的国。

42 这供应要叫我们凭神圣生命和神圣性情一切的丰富，作我们达到神辉煌荣耀的优越美德（能力），使我们能够并合格进入要来的国——3节，彼前五10。

53 表面看来，是我们进入永远的国；事实上，是借着我们在生命里的长大，并借着神圣生命在我们里面的发展，叫我们得着丰富的供应，而得以进入永远的国。

晨兴喂养

Morning Nourishment 2 Pet. 1:10-11 Therefore, brothers, be the more diligent to make your calling and selection firm, for doing these things you shall by no means ever stumble. For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly and bountifully supplied to you.

6彼后一10~11 所以弟兄们，应当更加殷勤，使你们所蒙的呼召和拣选坚定不移；你们行这几样，就永不失脚。这样，你们就必得着丰富充足的供应，以进入我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国。

6In 2 Peter 1:10 …to be diligent is to develop the spiritual virtues in the divine life, to advance in the growth of the divine life. This makes God’s calling and selection of us firm.

7在彼后一章十节……这里的殷勤，即在神圣的生命里发展属灵的美德，在神圣生命的成长里往前。这使神对我们的呼召和拣选坚定不移。

7If we are diligent to develop the virtues mentioned in verses 5 through 7, we will confirm, make sure, our calling and selection…Some may question whether God has chosen them. The reason they have doubt concerning this matter is that they lack the virtues listed by Peter. But if we develop these virtues and are constituted of them, we will have the confirmation that we have been called and selected. This is to make our calling and selection firm. Furthermore, in doing these things we will never stumble, because we have been thoroughly constituted. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 52-53)

8我们若殷勤发展五至七节所提的美德，就会证实我们的呼召和拣选。……有些人也许怀疑神是否拣选了他们。他们疑惑这事，原因是他们缺少彼得所列举的美德。但我们若发展这些美德，并由这些美德构成，就会证实我们蒙了呼召和拣选。这就是使我们所蒙的呼召和拣选坚定不移。不但如此，我们行这几样，就永不失脚，因为我们已彻底被构成（彼得后书生命读经，六三页）。

信息选读

The bountiful supply that we enjoy in the development of the divine life and divine nature…will enable and qualify us to enter into the coming kingdom by all the riches of the divine life and divine nature as our excellent virtues (energy) unto the splendid glory of God. This is not merely to be saved but, after being saved, to pursue the growth and maturity in the divine life and thereby receive the kingdom reward.

9我们在神圣生命和神圣性情的发展里所享受全备的供应，……必充分地供应我们，使我们丰富地进入我们主永远的国。这供应要叫我们凭神圣生命和神圣性情一切的丰富，作我们达到神辉煌荣耀的优越美德（能力），使我们能够并合格进入要来的国。这不是仅仅得救，乃是得救后又追求在神圣生命里长大成熟，而受到国度的赏赐。

9The eternal kingdom in 2 Peter 1:11 refers to the kingdom of God, which was given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Dan. 7:13-14), and which will be manifested at His coming back (Luke 19:11-12). It will be a reward to His faithful believers, who pursue the growth in His life unto maturity

10彼后一章十一节永远的国，指所赐给我们主和救主耶稣基督之神的国（但七13~14），就是要在祂回来时显现的（路十九11~12）。这国要作赏赐，赐给那些追求在祂生命里长大以致成熟，并发展祂性情之美德的忠信信徒，使他们在千年国时能有分于祂在神荣耀里的君王职分（提后二12，启二十4、6）。这样进入主永远的国，与进入神永远的荣耀有关；这荣耀就是祂在基督里呼召我们所到达的〔彼前五10，帖前二12〕。

10The eternal kingdom in 2 Peter 1:11 refers to the kingdom of God, which was given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Dan. 7:13-14), and which will be manifested at His coming back (Luke 19:11-12). It will be a reward to His faithful believers, who pursue the growth in His life unto maturity and the development of the virtues of His nature that in the millennium they may participate in His kingship in God’s glory (2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 20:4, 6). To enter thus into the eternal kingdom of the Lord is related to entering into God’s eternal glory, to which God has called us in Christ (1 Pet. 5:10; 1 Thes. 2:12).

11彼后一章十一节指明，我们可得着丰富充足的供应，以进入我们主的国。然而，好些基督徒不会这样进入，因为他们从未发展神圣的种子以致成熟，借此建立这入口。我们若不被神圣的美德构成，就不能建立这样的入口。但我们若有神圣生命的发展，并由神圣性情的元素构成，我们就会得着丰富充足的供应，以进入要来的国。

11Second Peter 1:11 indicates that we may have an entrance richly and bountifully supplied into the kingdom of our Lord. However, a good number of Christians will not have such an entrance, because they have never built up this entrance by developing the divine seed unto maturity. If we are not constituted of the divine virtues, we will not be able to build up such an entrance. But if we have the development of the divine life and are constituted of the elements of the divine nature, a rich and bountiful entrance into the coming kingdom will be supplied to us.

12要在我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国里作王，我们就需要在生命上成熟。我们基督徒命定要在主的国里作王。然而，人若缺少在神圣生命上的成熟，如何能在要来的国里作王？……即使主要叫不成熟的人登宝座作王，那人也会晓得，他无法尽君王职任。这指明甚至我们自己也知道，为着要作王，我们需要长大成熟。

12In order to be kings in the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we need maturity in life. We Christians are destined to be kings in the Lord’s kingdom. However, how can someone be a king in the coming kingdom if he lacks the maturity in the divine life?…Even if the Lord would want to enthrone as a king someone who is not mature, that person would realize that he is not able to exercise the kingship. This indicates that even we ourselves know that we need to grow to maturity in order to be kings.

13照着彼得在一章五至十一节的话，长大成熟就是发展我们所已经接受的。我们已分得奇妙的同样宝贵之信，这信是包罗万有的种子。一切神圣的丰富都在这种子里，但我们必须殷勤，将这些丰富发展为美德。然后我们需要在我们的美德上发展知识；在知识上发展节制；在节制上发展忍耐；在忍耐上发展敬虔；在敬虔上发展弟兄相爱；并在弟兄相爱上发展爱。借着发展这些美德，我们就长大，至终我们要达到成熟。结果，我们要充满基督，用保罗的话说，就是达到基督丰满之身材的度量（弗四13）。这样，我们就会有资格并装备好，在要来的国里作王（彼得后书生命读经，六四、七三至七四页）。

13According to Peter’s word in 1:5-11, to grow to maturity is to develop what we have already received. We have been allotted the wonderful equally precious faith, and this faith is an all-inclusive seed. All the divine riches are in this seed, but we must be diligent to develop them into virtue. Then we need to develop in our virtue knowledge; in knowledge, self-control; in selfcontrol, endurance; in endurance, godliness; in godliness, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love. By developing these virtues we grow, and eventually, we will reach maturity. As a result, we will be full of Christ, and, in Paul’s words, we will arrive at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13). Then we will be qualified and equipped to be kings in the coming kingdom. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 53-54, 61-62)

今日要点

15主题：借着经历发展，得着赏赐，好丰富的进入永远的国

161.发展属灵美德，使神的呼召和拣选坚定不移：

17A.彼后一10说，『所以弟兄们，应当更加殷勤，使你们所蒙的呼召和拣选坚定不移；你们行这几样，就永不失脚』，这里的殷勤，也就是在神圣的生命里发展属灵的美德，在神圣生命的成长里往前，这使神对我们的呼召和拣选坚定不移，此外，根据上下文指出，我们若殷勤地发展5~7节的美德，就会证实我们的呼召和拣选。

18B.有些人也许怀疑神是否拣选了他们，因为他们缺少了美德，他们疑惑这事，原因是缺少彼得所列举的美德，但若我们发展这些美德，并被这些美德所构成，就会证实我们蒙了呼召和拣选，这就使我们所蒙的呼召和拣选坚定不移，不但如此，我们行这几样，就永不失脚，因为我们已经彻底被这些美德所构成。

192.经历发展，好丰富进入永远的国作为赏赐：

20A.11节接着说，『这样，你们就必得着丰富充足的供应，以进入我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国』，彼得写信的目的，乃是要散居的犹太信徒，经历并享受在神圣生命和神圣性情的发展里所享受全备的供应，使他们享受以丰富的进入我们主永远的国，当时以色列已经亡国，想必不是只地上的国，而是指所赐给我们主和救主耶稣基督之神的国。

21B.这国就是要在祂回来时显现的，这国要作为赏赐，赐给那些追求在祂生命里长大以致成熟，并发展祂性情之美德的忠信信徒，使他们在千年国时能有分于祂在神荣耀里的君王职分，这样进入主永远的国，与进入神永远的荣耀有关，这样的经历，完全在于今世发展神圣的种子以致成熟，借此建立入口，我们必须有神圣生命的发展，并由神圣性情的元素所构成，好进入要来永远的国。

22应用：种子的发展，在神一面已经预备好了，但在我们一面，必须殷勤，借着在个人一面积极操练，并在团体一面，过召会生活，而将这些丰富发展，能够充足的供应一切的美德，就能使我们长大成熟，并使我们有资格并装备好，得以进入永远的国，在要来的国里作王。
