19有许多罪是神受得住,且是可原谅的;但一背叛,神就不能容忍,因为背叛是死亡的原则,是撒但的原则。所以背叛的罪比什么罪都厉害。每当有人抵挡权柄,神立刻审判,这是何等严肃的事!(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一二○至一二二、一四七至一四八页)。
19God can bear many sins and can even pardon them. Once rebellion appears, however, God cannot tolerate it, for rebellion is according to the principle of death. It is according to the principle of Satan. For this reason, the sin of rebellion is more serious than any other kind of sin. Whenever someone opposes authority, God immediately comes in to judge. How solemn a matter this is! (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” pp. 111-112, 134-135)
