纲目
1二 患难带进忍耐,忍耐产生老练,就是经过试验的特性和蒙称许的价值(腓二19~22);保罗说, “神……验中了我们〔他和他的同工们〕,把福音托付我们”(帖前二4);神一直察验、察看并试验他们的心,好叫他们福音的讲说不是出于他们自己,要讨人喜欢,乃是出于神,要讨神喜欢:
1
21 彼前一章七节说,我们信心所受的试验“比那经过火〔试炼和苦难的火〕的试验仍会毁坏之金子的试验,更为宝贵”;未经锻炼的金子受到锻炼之火的烧,就得着容易被人称许的品质——玛三3
2
32 主要我们付代价,经过火炼的试验,得着祂作金的信,使我们为着祂身体的建造能有分于真金,就是基督自己作为神圣的生命连同神圣的性情;如此我们才能成为纯金的灯台,好建造金的新耶路撒冷——启三18一20二一1823彼后一4
3
43 有些爱主的圣徒有一些生命和亮光,他们就因此以为自己适合为主作工;然而,他们未经锻炼,缺少蒙称许的品质;蒙称许的品质,是忍受患难和试验的结果;这品质使受服事的人感觉喜乐、甜美且舒适。
4
54 我们都必须祷告: “主,给我蒙称许的品质”;主就会兴起环境,这些环境会为我们产生蒙称许的品质;虽然我们是基督的奴仆,但我们缺少蒙称许的品质;这困扰神,破坏我们,也困扰圣徒们和神家里的人;我们凭自己的亮光和恩赐帮助圣徒,却因着缺少蒙称许的品质而伤了他们——太二四45~51

6帖前二4 但神怎样验中了我们,把福音托付我们,我们就照样讲,不是要讨人喜欢,乃是要讨那察验我们心的神喜欢。
61 Thes. 2:4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men but God, who proves our hearts.
7彼前一7 叫你们信心所受的试验,比那经过火的试验仍会毁坏之金子的试验,更为宝贵,可以在耶稣基督显现的时候,显为可得称赞、荣耀和尊贵的。
71 Pet. 1:7 So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8神的托付,是根据祂借试验我们而有的验中。神首先试验并验中使徒,然后把福音托付他们。因此,他们的讲说、他们福音的传扬,不是出于自己,要讨人喜欢,乃是出于神,要讨神喜欢(圣经恢复本,帖前二4注1)。
8God’s entrusting depends on His approval, which comes out of His testing. The apostles were first tested and approved by God and then were entrusted by Him with the gospel. Hence, their speaking, the preaching of the gospel, was not of themselves to please men but of God to please Him. (1 Thes. 2:4, footnote 1)
9〔试验是为着蒙称许。〕显为可得称赞……的,不是信心的本身,乃是信心所受的试炼、试验。……当然,信心得称许是来自正确的信心。……〔彼前一章七节〕所强调的不是……信心,乃是借着苦难在试炼之下对……信心的试验(彼前一7注1)。
9[Proving is] testing for approval. It is the trying, the proving, of faith, not the faith itself, that may be found unto praise…Of course, the approval of faith comes out of the proper faith. The stress here is not on faith but on the proving of faith by trials that come through sufferings. (1 Pet. 1:7, footnote 1)

10忍耐生老练(罗五4)。老练是一种蒙称许的品质或属性,是忍受并经历患难和试验的结果。……有时候,年轻弟兄很难得着别人的称许。他们需要忍耐,这忍耐产生容易被别人称许的品质。患难带进忍耐,忍耐产生蒙称许的品质。这里的老练,含经历的意思;然而这里所指的,主要不是经历本身,乃是借着受苦的经历所得着的属性或美德。你越受苦,就越有忍耐,也越产生蒙称许的美德。蒙称许不是我们天生就有的属性。
10Endurance produces approvedness (Rom. 5:4). Approvedness is an approved quality resulting from the endurance of tribulation and testing…At times it is difficult for young brothers to have the approval of others. They need the endurance that produces a quality that is easily approved by others. Tribulation issues in endurance, and endurance brings forth the quality of approvedness. Some versions translate the Greek word here as “experience.” This is correct, for approvedness includes experience. However, it is not primarily the experience itself but the attribute or virtue that is acquired through the experiences of suffering. The more you suffer, the more you have endurance, and the more the virtue of approvedness will be produced. Approvedness is not an attribute that we have by our natural birth.
11想想未经锻炼之金子的例子。虽然它是真金,却未经锻炼,也不吸引人。它需要锻炼的火。金越受到火烧,就越产生蒙称许的品质。……可能许多年轻人就像未经锻炼的金子。他们不需要磨光或上色;他们需要焚烧。有些爱主的圣徒有一些生命和亮光,他们就因此以为自己适合为主作工;然而,他们缺少蒙称许的品质。一面,他们无论往哪里去,都能有果效;另一面,他们是未经锻炼的,缺少使人喜乐、甜美且舒适的美德。他们有蒙称许的反面,我们可称为不蒙称许。……我们若有蒙称许的美德,就不会成为别人的难处。我们都必须祷告:“主,给我蒙称许的品质。”……你若这样祷告,主会问:“你是认真的么?”你的答复若是肯定的,主就会兴起环境,这些环境会为你产生蒙称许的品质。例如,祂也许赐你最合式的妻子,最有益于在你里面产生这品质。大多数的妻子是绝佳的帮手,帮助神为祂的仆人产生蒙称许的品质。主的仆人多半需要这样的妻子。妻子不是帮助丈夫,乃是帮助神;妻子的性情帮助神在她们的丈夫里面产生蒙称许的品质。
11Consider the example of raw gold. Although it is genuine gold, it is raw and unattractive. It needs the purifying fire. The more the gold suffers the burning of the fire, the more an approved quality will be produced…Perhaps many of the young people are like raw gold. They do not need polishing or painting; they need burning. Some of the saints who love the Lord have an amount of life and light. Because they have these things, they think that they are suitable to work for the Lord. However, they lack approvedness. On the one hand, they can be productive wherever they go; on the other hand, they are raw and lack the virtue that makes people happy, sweet, and comfortable. They have the opposite of approvedness, what we may call disapprovedness…If we have the virtue of approvedness, we will not be a problem to others. We all must pray, “Lord, grant me approvedness.” If you pray in this way, the Lord will ask, “Do you really mean business?” If your answer is affirmative, the Lord will raise up the circumstances that will produce approvedness for you. For example, He may give you the most suitable wife, the wife most useful in producing this quality within you. Most wives are excellent helpers, assisting God in producing approvedness for His servants. Most of the Lord’s servants need such a wife. The wife does not help the husband; she helps God. The disposition of the wives helps God to bring forth approvedness in their husbands.
12神是主宰一切的。我们许多人领悟我们不但蒙召了,也被抓住了。我们必须作基督耶稣的奴仆—我们别无选择。……我必须作主的奴仆。虽然我们是基督的奴仆,但我们缺少蒙称许的品质。这困扰神,破坏我们,也困扰圣徒们和神家里的人。我们一面帮助他们,另一面却伤了他们。我们凭自己的亮光和恩赐帮助他们,却因着缺少蒙称许的品质而伤了他们。因此,我们需要忍耐所产生的老练、称许(罗马书生命读经,一二四至一二五页)。
12God is sovereign. Many of us realize that we have not only been called but also caught. We must be a slave of Christ Jesus—we have no other choice… I must be the Lord’s slave. Although we are the slaves of Christ, we lack approvedness. This troubles God and damages us. It also bothers the saints and the household of God. We help them on the one hand and hurt them on the other. By our light and our gift we help them; by our lack of approvedness we hurt them. Thus, we need the approvedness that comes out of endurance. (Life-study of Romans, pp. 104-105)
