纲目

1壹罗马书五至八章可以称为圣经的核仁，具体而细微地包含圣经的整个主题：

2一五至八章屡次提到这两个钥辞——“生命”和“死”；生命(五10、17～18、21，六4、22～23，七10，八2、6、10～11、38) 和死(五12、14、17、21，六9、16、21、23，七5、10、13、24，八2、6、10～11、38)从五章至八章形成两条对比线——生命线与死亡线；这显示人在三角关系中，介于神与撒但，生命与死之间。

3二生命树与知识树(死亡树)带进两条线——生命线和死亡线，贯穿整本圣经，结束于启示录；生命开始于生命树(创二9)，结束于新耶路撒冷这座生命水同着生命树(启二二1～2)、生命光(二一23，二二5)和生命荣耀(二一10～11、23)的城；死开始于知识树(创二17)，结束于火湖(启二十10、14)。

4创二9 耶和华神使各样的树从地里长出来，可以悦人的眼目，也好作食物；园子当中有生命树，还有善恶知识树。

4Gen. 2:9 …Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, as well as the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

5罗五17 若因一人的过犯，死就借着这一人作了王，那些受洋溢之恩，并洋溢之义恩赐的，就更要借着耶稣基督一人，在生命中作王了。

5Rom. 5:17 …By the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

6我们可称罗马五至八章为圣经的核仁，其中有两个关键辞重复使用，就是生命与死亡。在创世记二章，生命由生命树代表，死亡由善恶知识树代表（9）。善恶知识树的结果，实际上不是知识，乃是死亡。所以，我们可称这两棵树为生命树与死亡树。……与这棵〔死亡树〕有关的有三件事：善、恶、知识。我们都宝贵善和知识，但不喜欢恶。我们认为善与恶是两个不同类别的东西。然而，圣经里对善与恶的观念不是这样；圣经将善与恶放在同一类。……照着创世记二章，善和知识与恶相提并论。它们属于一个家庭，乃是一同作工以带进死亡的三“姊妹”；死亡当然与生命相对（罗马书生命读经，五一三页）。

6In Romans 5 through 8, which we may call the kernel of the Bible, two key words are used repeatedly. These words are life and death. In Genesis 2 life is represented by the tree of life, and death, by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (v. 9). The issue of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is actually death, not knowledge. Therefore, we may call these trees the tree of life and the tree of death…There are three related things concerning this tree [of death]—knowledge, good, and evil. Although we all appreciate knowledge and good, we do not like evil. We consider good and evil to be in two distinct categories. The concept of good and evil in the Bible, however, is different; the Bible puts both good and evil in the same category…According to Genesis 2, knowledge and good are put together with evil. Belonging to one family, they are three “sisters” who work together to bring forth death, which is, of course, the opposite of life. (Life-study of Romans, p. 423)

7见于创世记的项目，多半是在圣经别处得着发展的属灵真理的种子，我们不该忽略它们。创世记二章有生命的种子与死亡的种子。但在启示录末了，我们看见这些种子的终极完成。死，最后的仇敌，被扔在火湖里（二十14）。生命在新耶路撒冷里洋溢，因为在那里我们看见生命水的河，有生命树长在其中（二二1~2）。新耶路撒冷从中心到圆周是生命的城。撒在圣经开头的生命的种子，终极完成于生命的收成；而死亡的种子终极完成于死亡的收成。因为生命与死亡的种子在全本圣经里生长，我们就能在圣经里追溯生命线与死亡线。

7Most of the items found in Genesis are seeds of spiritual truths developed elsewhere in the Bible, and we should not neglect them. In Genesis 2 we have the seed of life and the seed of death. But at the end of the book of Revelation, we see the consummation of these seeds. Death, the last enemy, is cast into the lake of fire (20:14). Life abounds in the New Jerusalem, for there we see the river of water of life with the tree of life growing in it (22:1-2). From center to circumference, the New Jerusalem is a city of life. The seed of life sown in the beginning of the Bible consummates in the harvest of life, and the seed of death consummates in the harvest of death. Because the seeds of life and of death grow throughout the Bible, we can trace in the Bible both the line of life and the line of death.

8创世记二章有一个三角关系，牵涉到神、人和撒但。在这章里，人面临两个源头：神这生命的源头，与撒但这死亡的源头。罗马五至八章有这三角关系的继续。至终，这三角关系会有两个终极的结果。消极的事物要随着死亡被扫进火湖里，但积极的事物要随着那些蒙了救赎的人流进活水的城里。今天我们都朝着这终极总结前进，信徒向着新耶路撒冷，不信者向着火湖。许多基督徒在每天的经历中，一脚在生命线上，另一脚在死亡线上。另有的基督徒则在二者之间游移不定。可能昨天你在死亡线上，但今天因着主的怜悯和恩典，你又在生命线上。

8In Genesis 2 there is a triangular situation involving God, man, and Satan. In this chapter man faces two sources: God as the source of life and Satan as the source of death. In Romans 5 through 8 there is the continuation of this triangular situation. Eventually, this triangular situation will result in a twofold consummation. The negative things will, along with death, be swept into the lake of fire, but the positive things will, with those who have been redeemed, flow into the city of living water. Today we are all heading toward this ultimate consummation—the believers to the New Jerusalem and the unbelievers to the lake of fire. In their everyday experience many Christians have one foot on the line of life and the other on the line of death. Other Christians vacillate between the two. Perhaps yesterday you were on the line of death, but today, by the Lord’s mercy and grace, you are once again on the line of life.

9神的经纶不是善或恶、对或错的事。不仅如此，神的经纶不是伦常的事。照着伦常的标准，我们该为善，不该作恶。然而，神的经纶全然是生命或死亡的事。在生命里就是活出神，在死亡里就是活出撒但。我们乃是战场，神与撒但之间的宇宙战争，就在我们里面猛烈进行。这战争的结果，乃断定于我们将心思置于何处。我们若将心思置于己，因而与灵隔绝，撒但就得着地位。但我们若留在灵里，并将心思置于灵，神就得着胜利。

9God’s economy is not a matter of good or evil, right or wrong. Moreover, it is not a matter of ethics. According to ethical standards, we should do good and not evil. God’s economy, however, is altogether a matter of life or death. To be in life is to live out God, and to be in death is to live out Satan. We are a battlefield, and the universal battle between God and Satan is raging within us. The outcome of this battle is determined by where we set our mind. If we set our mind on the self and thereby are cut off from the spirit, Satan gains ground. But if we stay in the spirit and set our mind on the spirit, God gains the victory.

10我们必须靠着内住的灵，治死旧人的行为。这样作就是活着〔八13〕。让我们为这点祷告，实行这点，并养成留在灵里的习惯。我们越养成这习惯，就越要活着，且会离死亡越远（罗马书生命读经，五一四、五二三至五二四页）。

10By the indwelling Spirit we must put to death the deeds of the old person. To do this is to live. Let us pray about this, practice it, and develop the habit of staying in the spirit. The more we develop this habit, the more living we will be and the further we will be from death. (Life-study of Romans, pp. 424, 431)

今日要点

12主题：看见圣经的核仁，而留在生命线的路上

13引经：创二9，罗五17

141.圣经的核仁－生命与死亡：

15A.罗马五至八章可以称为为圣经的核仁，其中有两个关键词重复使用，就是生命和死亡，在圣经一开始，创二9说，『耶和华神使各样的树从地里长出来，可以悦人的眼目，也好作食物；园子当中有生命树，还有善恶知识树』，生命是由生命树所代表，而死亡则是由善恶知识树所代表，善恶知识树的结果，实际上不是知识，而是死亡，所以这棵树也可称为死亡树。

16B.很多人认为信基督不错，因为宗教劝人为善，但根据圣经，圣经里对善和恶的观念，乃是将其视为同一类，圣经将善、知识和恶相提并论，属于一个家庭，是一同作工以带进死亡的三姊妹，善、恶和知识的结果就是死亡，与生命相对，在这里，人处在一个三角关系中，人面临两个源头，神这生命的源头，以及撒但这死亡的源头。

172.我们要在三角关系中拣选生命，留在生命的路上：

18A.圣经一开始，在这一个园子当中，就有生命和死亡的起源，并且整本圣经有这两条线的发展，保罗在罗五17说，『若因一人的过犯，死就借着这一人作了王，那些受洋溢之恩，并洋溢之义恩赐的，就更要借着耶稣基督一人，在生命中作王了』，我们都在这三角关系中，一脚踩在生命线上，另一脚踩在死亡线上。

19B.生命线与死亡线的发展，贯穿整本圣经，结束于启示录，并且这样三角关系也持续到末了，带来两个终极的结果，消极的事物要随着死亡被扫进火湖，而积极的事物要随着蒙赎之人流进新耶路撒冷这座生命水同生命树、生命光、生命荣耀的城，因此，我们看见罗马五至八章中圣经的核仁，对于我们如何过基督徒生活，极为重要。

20应用：我们不该忽略这个严肃的问题，我们可能是对的，却在死亡的线上，我们可能没做好，却因着向着神，而留在生命的线上，这何等需要主的怜悯，为此我们需要操练将心思置于灵，使我们靠着内住的灵，治死旧人那留在死亡线上的旧行为，好建立活在灵里的习惯，而留在生命的线上。
