5腓四5~6 当叫众人知道你们的谦让宜人。主是近的。应当一无挂虑,只要凡事借着祷告、祈求,带着感谢,将你们所要的告诉神。
5Phil. 4:5-6 Let your forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is near. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
6在腓立比一章二十一节保罗宣告:“在我,活着就是基督。”这句话是保罗内里实际的见证。但活基督之生活的真正彰显是什么?这彰显见于四章五至九节所列的美德。同样的原则,在二章保罗说明基督是我们的榜样。……照着这榜样所过生活的彰显会是什么?这彰显就在四章五至九节。关于保罗在三章所说,将万事看作亏损,甚至看作粪土,以赢得基督,也是这样。人若定罪哲学,弃绝文化,抛弃宗教,将这些看作粪土,为要赢得基督,他的生活将会有怎样的彰显?我们要再指出,这彰显乃见于四章五至九节(腓立比书生命读经,二六八至二六九页)。
6In Philippians 1:21 Paul declares, “To me, to live is Christ.” This statement is a testimony of Paul’s inner reality. But what is the real expression of a life that lives Christ? This expression is found in the virtues listed in 4:5-9. In the same principle, in chapter 2 Paul sets forth Christ as our pattern…What will be the expression of a life that lives according to this pattern? The expression is in 4:5-9. The same is true with respect to Paul’s word in chapter 3 concerning counting all things as loss, even refuse, in order to gain Christ. What kind of expression will there be in a person’s life if that one condemns philosophy, rejects culture, and renounces religion, counting them as refuse in order to gain Christ?…Again…the expression is seen in 4:5-9. (Life-study of Philippians, p. 222)

7活基督之生活的彰显,第一面乃是谦让宜人〔参腓四5〕。……第二面是一无挂虑。在活基督的生活里,会有谦让宜人,但没有挂虑,没有忧愁。
7
8活基督的生活是平静、安宁、平安且安静的。反之,风波的生活是活撒但的生活。谦让宜人是安宁生活最重要的元素。谦让宜人是待人合理,体谅,顾到别人,不严格要求合法的权利。
8
9谦让宜人包括忍耐和适度,但还不只这些。你若谦让宜人,就不会与人争辩,与人争斗,或与人争论。你也许有许多可说的,但你对待别人忍耐并适度,被惹动或激怒时也不会说什么以回应。
9Forbearance includes patience and moderation but goes beyond them. If you have forbearance, you will not argue with others, fight with them, or debate with them. You may have a great deal to say, but you will have patience and moderation in dealing with others and will not say anything in response to provocation or irritation.
10假定一班姊妹住在一起。最宝贵的姊妹将是最谦让宜人的姊妹。难处发生时,她会平静、安静。即使别人得罪她,她也不会报复。然而,缺乏谦让宜人的姊妹被得罪时,也许很容易反应。……正确的基督徒生活是平静的生活。过这样的生活,意思是我们不与人争辩,或与人争斗。
10Suppose a group of sisters live together. The most precious sister will be the one who is the most forbearing. When difficulties arise, she will be calm and quiet. Even if others offend her, she will not retaliate. Sisters who lack forbearance, however, may easily react when they are offended…A proper Christian life is a life of calm. To live such a life means that we do not argue with people or fight with them.
11谦让宜人与私图好争、贪图虚荣这两件保罗所提消极的事相对。谦让宜人也与发怨言、起争论相对。……每当我们私图好争、贪图虚荣、发怨言、起争论的时候,就没有平静,没有安宁,没有谦让宜人。
11Forbearance is versus selfish ambition and vainglory, two negative things mentioned by Paul. Forbearance is also opposed to murmurings and reasonings…Whenever we have selfish ambition, vainglory, murmurings, and reasonings, there is no calm, no tranquillity, no forbearance.
12我们若活基督,就不会与别人争辩。我们会知道,甚至平静的话在什么时候说才合宜;即使是平静的话,若在不当的时候说出来,也能助长争辩。……有人对你生气,最好不要说什么。要操练谦让宜人,并等候适当的时候说平静的话。已婚的弟兄姊妹实行这点尤其重要。你的丈夫或妻子若好争辩,要谨慎你说话的方式;甚至不要大声呼求主,这可能是智慧的,因为大声呼求主也可能激起麻烦。你外面不要说话,要使自己平静,里面呼求主,一直等到情况安宁才说。
12If we live Christ, we will not argue with others. We will know what is the right time to speak even a calm word. Even a calm statement made at the wrong time can contribute to an argument…If someone is angry with you, it is best not to say anything. Exercise forbearance and wait for the right time to utter a calm word. It is especially important for married brothers and sisters to practice this. If your husband or wife is argumentative, be careful about the way you speak. It may be wise not even to call on the Lord aloud. Such a calling may stir up trouble. Instead of speaking outwardly, calm yourself, call on the Lord inwardly, and wait until the situation is tranquil before you say anything.
13我是个老年人,历尽人世沧桑。在主主宰的手下,我遭遇过许多不同的环境。我经历过贫穷,也经历过需要得着供应。我可以见证,人生一切的境遇都离不开挂虑。一言以蔽之,人生就是挂虑;人生的总和就是挂虑。
13As an elderly person, I have passed through a great many experiences in human life. Under the sovereign hand of the Lord, I have been in a great many different circumstances. I have known poverty, and I have known what it is to have my needs supplied. I can testify that in all the circumstances of human life, anxiety is present. Anxiety is a word that can sum up human life. The totality of human life is anxiety.
14保罗在腓立比四章六节说到挂虑,因为他领悟,挂虑就是人生的总和。保罗也领悟,谦让宜人是正确基督徒生活的总和。……因此,活基督就是谦让宜人而一无挂虑(腓立比书生命读经,二七○至二七一、六三二页)。
14Paul speaks of anxiety in 4:6 because he realized that it is the totality of man’s life. Paul also realized that forbearance is the totality of a proper Christian life…Thus, to live Christ is to have forbearance without anxiety. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 223-224, 513)

今日要点
16主题:经历、享受并彰显基督为我们的美德
16
17引经:腓四5~6
17
181.我们所经历基督的美德,乃是活基督之生活的彰显:
18
19A.腓立比书是一卷论到经历基督的书,在一章保罗说到活基督,二章说到学基督,思念基督耶稣所思念的,以基督为我们的榜样,而三章说到将万事看作亏损,为要赢得基督,这样的生活有什么彰显呢?我们需要第四章,在四5~9节可以看见,我们所经历基督的美德,乃是活基督之生活的彰显。
19
20b.在腓四5~6说,『当叫众人知道你们的谦让宜人。主是近的。应当一无罣虑,只要凡事借着祷告、祈求,带着感谢,将你们所要的告诉神』,在这段经文,保罗认为谦让宜人和一无罣虑,乃是活基督之生活彰显的头两面,谦让宜人是待人合理,体谅,顾到别人,不严格要求合法的权利,包括忍耐和适度,但还不仅是这些,因为若是谦让宜人,就不会与人争辩、争论,被惹动或激怒时,也不会说什么而回应。
20
212.谦让宜人来自神,是活基督之生活的总和:
21
22A.谦让宜人,与私图好争、贪慕虚荣这两件保罗所题消极的事相对,谦让宜人也与发怨言、起争论相对,每当我们私图好争、贪慕虚荣、发怨言、起争论的时候,就没有平静、安宁、谦让宜人,神造人时没有造罣虑,而当人接受善恶知识树的果子时,撒但这毒素注射到人里面之后,人就有了罣虑。
22
23B.保罗在腓四6说到罣虑,因为他领悟,罣虑来自撒但,是人生活的总和,搅扰信徒活基督的生活,他同时也提到谦让宜人,因为他也领悟,谦让宜人来自神,是活基督之生活的总和,二者完全相反,我们要过活基督的生活,使我们有谦让宜人,这活基督之生活的彰显。
23
24应用:我们需要操练灵,回到灵里活基督,使我们知道平静的话何时说才合宜,不助长争辩,也学习什么时候不说话,甚至在面对好争辩的人时,只有里面呼求主,外面不要大声呼求主,免得激起麻烦,使我们不惹动别人,也不被别人惹动,而能给人看出我们的谦让宜人。
