纲目
1贰 “当叫众人知道你们的谦让宜人。主是近的”——腓四5
1
2一 按照基督徒的经历,谦让宜人是包罗一切的,因为它包含了基督徒一切的美德;谦让宜人实际上乃是包罗万有的基督作为包罗万有的灵,同着祂全备的供应——一19~21上
2
31 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;谦让宜人的意思是我们很容易满足,甚至以少于我们所当得的为满足:
3
4a 谦让宜人包含爱、忍耐、恩慈、谦卑、怜恤、体谅以及服从,就是心甘情愿地降服;我们若有这样一个包罗万有的美德,也就有了公义与圣别。
4
5b 谦让宜人也包括自制、适度、温和、了解、同情、智慧、怜悯、和平、仰望主,甚至包括承认主在一切事上有主宰权柄的美德——参林后十二7~9
5
62 一个谦让宜人的人总是合式的,他的行为总是合宜的——参六1下十1腓一19赛十一2
6
7a 我们若谦让宜人,就会有智慧与能力供应别人的需要;我们也会有充分的知识,知道要对别人说什么话,以及该什么时候说——五十4~5西一28箴二五15
7
8b 谦让宜人就是顾到我们所作或所说的,会怎样影响别人——代下一10
8
9二 谦让宜人是个包罗一切的美德,也就是基督自己;基督既是谦让宜人,保罗活着就是谦让宜人——腓一21上
9
101 叫众人知道我们的谦让宜人,就是叫众人知道我们所活、所显大、所引为榜样并所竭力追求作标竿的基督。
10
112 唯有主耶稣过一种满了谦让宜人的生活,而今天唯有基督才能成为我们完全的谦让宜人——路二四15~1928~31太十七24~27约十一20~34
11
123 叫人知道我们的谦让宜人,就是过彰显基督为一切人性美德之总和的生活。
12
134 保罗说到谦让宜人之后,紧接着就说,主是近的(腓四5);就空间说,主对我们是近的,是很便当的帮助;就时间说,主与我们是近的,不久就要来(参罗十8~13);主是近的,主要的是说到主与我们同在(太一23出三三14)。
13
14三 我们在各种环境、境遇和遭遇里,都需要学基督作我们渐渐变化(也就是在天然的生命里新陈代谢的改变)的秘诀(腓四12);这实际又简单的秘诀在六至七节——“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;神那超越人所能理解的平安,必在基督耶稣里,保卫你们的心怀意念。”

15腓一21 因为在我,活着就是基督,死了就有益处。
15Phil. 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
16四5 当叫众人知道你们的谦让宜人。主是近的。
164:5 Let your forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is near.
17卫斯特(Wuest)在他的《字义研究》一书中指出,翻作谦让宜人的希腊字,意思不仅是以少于我们所当得的为满足,也有甜美的合理之意。这辞还包括自制、忍耐、适度、恩慈以及温和的意思。此外,照着基督徒的经历,谦让宜人是包罗一切的,因为它包含了基督徒一切的美德。这意思是说,我们若不能谦让宜人,我们就没有任何基督徒的美德。倘若一位弟兄……借着基督的恩典,以少于他所当得的为满足,对他的妻子谦让宜人,既不批评她,也不定罪她,他在这样的谦让宜人之中,就显出一种基督徒包罗一切的美德。他的谦让宜人包括忍耐、谦卑、自制、仰望主,甚至包括承认主在一切事上有主宰权柄的美德(腓立比书生命读经,五八九至五九○页)。
17In his Word Studies Wuest points out that the Greek word rendered “forbearance” not only means satisfied with less than our due but also means sweet reasonableness. The word includes self-control, patience, moderation, kindness, and gentleness. Furthermore, according to Christian experience, forbearance is all-inclusive, for it includes all Christian virtues. This means that if we fail to exercise forbearance, we fail to exercise any Christian virtue…If by the grace of Christ [a brother] is satisfied with less than his due and exercises forbearance toward his wife, not criticizing her or condemning her, he will show in his forbearance an all-inclusive Christian virtue. His forbearance will include patience, humility, self-control, looking to the Lord, and even the virtue of admitting that the Lord is sovereign in all things. (Lifestudy of Philippians, pp. 479-480)

18有时候我们行事为人的态度失当,原因就是我们缺少谦让宜人。我们态度消极,话语没有恩慈,也是由于缺少谦让宜人。我们不能爱人,是因为我们没有谦让宜人。同样,我们不能容忍,是因为我们缺少谦让宜人。甚至多话也是没有谦让宜人的结果。……我们若不向着家人显出谦让宜人,我们的家庭生活就没有和平。和平乃是从谦让宜人来的。
18The reason we sometimes behave in an unseemly manner is that we lack forbearance. Negative attitudes and unkind words also come from a shortage of forbearance. When we fail to love, it is because we have no forbearance. Likewise, we may be intolerant because we lack forbearance. Even talkativeness may result from having no forbearance…If we do not show forbearance toward the members of our family, there will be no peace in our family life. Peace comes out of forbearance.
19保罗知道,谦让宜人是个包罗一切的美德,所以他说,“当叫众人知道你们的谦让宜人。”〔腓四5〕这谦让宜人实际上就是基督自己。保罗在腓立比一章二十一节说,“在我,活着就是基督。”基督既是谦让宜人,保罗活着就是谦让宜人。保罗所专切期待的,就是无论是生是死,总叫基督在他身上照常显大。保罗显大基督,就是叫人知道他的谦让宜人。因此,叫基督在我们身上显大,等于叫众人知道我们的谦让宜人;这是因为谦让宜人就是我们实际所经历的基督。我们可以谈论活基督,也见证我们活着就是基督。然而,我们每日在家庭生活中所需要的,乃是谦让宜人。我们若有谦让宜人,我们的经历里就真有基督。
19Paul realized that forbearance is an all-inclusive virtue. This is the reason he says, “Let your forbearance be known to all men” [Phil. 4:5]. This forbearance is actually Christ Himself. In 1:21 Paul says, “To me, to live is Christ.” Since Christ is forbearance, for Paul to live was forbearance. Paul’s earnest expectation was that Christ would be magnified in him, whether through life or through death. For Paul to magnify Christ was for him to make known his forbearance. Thus, for Christ to be magnified in us is equal to making our forbearance known to all men. The reason for this is that forbearance is Christ experienced by us in a practical way. We may speak of living Christ and testify that for us, to live is Christ. However, day by day in our life at home, what we need is forbearance. If we have forbearance, then in our experience we truly have Christ.
20作好丈夫、好妻子的关键,乃是谦让宜人。我再说,谦让宜人所包含的,比温和或谦卑要多得多。谦让宜人这个基督徒包罗一切的美德,就是基督自己。我们在家庭生活和召会生活里,都必须过一种谦让宜人的生活来活基督。
20The key to being a good husband or wife is forbearance. To repeat, forbearance includes much more than gentleness or humility. As an allinclusive Christian virtue, forbearance is Christ Himself. In both the family life and in the church life, we need to live Christ by living a life of forbearance.
21我们越探讨谦让宜人的意义,就越能珍赏保罗为什么在四章五节说到这点。我们基督徒生活的失败和挫败,全是因为我们缺少谦让宜人。所有的圣徒,不论是年轻的或是年长的,都一样有忽略谦让宜人的倾向。我们若要活基督,就必须以少于我们所当得的为满足。我们不该向别人苛求。
21The more we consider the significance of forbearance, the more we can appreciate why Paul spoke of it in 4:5. Our failures and defeats in the Christian life come because we are short of forbearance. All the saints, young and old alike, have a tendency to neglect forbearance. If we would live Christ, we must be satisfied with less than our due. We should not make exacting demands on others.
22主耶稣在地上时,过的是一种谦让宜人的生活。一面,祂非常严格;另一面,祂也非常宽容。例如,祂自己多方祷告,但祂在祷告的事上并不要求祂的门徒,也不因着他们祷告不够而定罪他们。
22The Lord Jesus lived a life of forbearance when He was on earth. In one sense, He was very strict, but in another sense, He was very tolerant. For example, although He prayed a great deal, He did not make demands of His disciples concerning prayer or condemn them because they did not pray enough.
23保罗说到谦让宜人之后,紧接着就说,“主是近的。”……照着经历来看,我要说,这话是指主今日与我们同在。这也加强了保罗的劝勉,要我们叫众人知道我们的谦让宜人。因着主是近的,我们就没有借口不叫人知道我们的谦让宜人。我们常常没有谦让宜人,因为我们忘记主是近的,我们甚至不记得祂实际上就在我们里面。……因着我们没有体会主是近的,所以我们没有谦让宜人(腓立比书生命读经,五九○至五九二页)。
23Immediately after speaking about forbearance, Paul goes on to say, “The Lord is near.”…According to experience…I would say that this word refers to the Lord’s presence with us today. It also strengthens Paul’s exhortation that we make our forbearance known to all men. Because the Lord is near, we have no excuse for not making known our forbearance. Often we fail to exercise forbearance because we forget that the Lord is near. We do not even remember that He is actually within us…Because we do not realize that the Lord is near, we do not exercise forbearance. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 480-481)

今日要点
25主题:我们的谦让宜人当给众人知道,当被彰显出来
25
26引经:腓一21腓四5
26
271.谦让宜人是包罗一切的美德:
27
28A.保罗知道,谦让宜人是个包罗一切的美德,所以他在腓四5说,『当叫众人知道你们的谦让宜人。主是近的』,事实上,这谦让宜人实际上就是基督自己,保罗在腓一21说,『因为在我,活着就是基督,死了就有益处』,基督既是谦让宜人,保罗活着就是谦让宜人,保罗显大基督,就是叫人知道他的谦让宜人,谦让宜人就是我们实际所经历的基督。
28
29B.保罗在狱中经历圣徒的祈求,并耶稣基督之灵全备的供应,而能活基督,显大基督,显出谦让宜人的生活来,按照基督徒的经历,谦让宜人实际上乃是包罗万有的基督作为包罗万有的灵,连同祂全备的供应,我们可以谈论活基督,也见证我们活着就是基督,然而,我们每天在家庭生活、职场生活、召会生活中所需要的,乃是谦让宜人。
29
302.主在地上过的生活,就是谦让宜人的榜样:
30
31A.翻作谦让宜人的希腊字,原文由「宽广、宽阔」加上「合式、适宜的」二字所组成,KJV译为 「moderation」,这翻译较无体谅他人的意味,和合本译为「谦让的心」,也缺少对人展现的体谅,而恢复本英文译为「Forbearance」,就有不因对方的错而马上反应、惩罚之意,中文译为「谦让宜人」,则有心里不仅谦让,更是别人在外在感受宜人与体贴,因此恢复本的翻译尤佳。
31
32b.卫斯特在他的字义研究一书中指出,翻作谦让宜人的希腊字,意思不仅是以少于我们所当得的为满足,也有甜美的合理之意,基督徒生活的失败与挫败,全是因为我们缺少谦让宜人,一切的难处都是因着我们不愿以少于我们所当得的为满足,主是榜样,祂在地上过的生活,乃是谦让宜人的生活,而祂是近的,就空间说,主在我们里面,就时间说,主不久就要来,我们有主同在,能够活谦让宜人的生活。
32
33应用:一个丈夫若建立享受主的生活习惯,每天晨晨复兴,时时在鲮鲤祷告,就能借着基督的恩典,以少于他所当得的为满足,对他妻子谦让宜人,既不批评她,也不定罪她,就能显出基督徒包罗一切的美德,这就是作好丈夫、好妻子的关键,我们在家庭生活中,甚至在召会生活里,也都必须过这样谦让宜人的生活来活基督。
