新郎、新妇的成熟，以及作战士击败神的仇敌

第十二篇　新郎、新妇的成熟，以及作战士击败神的仇敌
第十二周　周三
纲目
1五 在雅各书，雅各用农夫恒忍热切等候地里宝贵的出产为例证—五7：
1E In his Epistle, James uses the illustration of a farmer eagerly awaiting with long-suffering the precious fruit of the earth—5:7:
2１ 主耶稣实际上就是那真农夫，独一的农夫—太十三3。
2１ The Lord Jesus is actually the real Farmer, the unique Farmer—Matt. 13:3.
3２ 当我们在恒忍等候主的来临时，祂这位真农夫也在忍耐等候我们在生命里成熟，成为田地初熟的果子和庄稼—启十四4、14~15。
3２ While we are awaiting with long-suffering the Lord's coming, He, as the real Farmer, is awaiting with patience our maturity in life, as the firstfruits and harvest of the field—Rev. 14:4, 14-15.
4３ 我们若祷告说，“主，求你快回来”，主可能说，“当你们在等候我回来时，我也在等候你们成熟；唯有你们成熟了，才能催促我回来。”
4３ If we pray, "Lord, come back quickly," the Lord may say, "While you are awaiting My coming back, I am awaiting your maturity; only your maturity can hasten My coming back."
5４ 我们若认真等候主回来，就需要在生命上长大以至于成熟；这种领会对我们有极大的帮助。
5４ It is a great help for us to realize that if we are serious about awaiting the Lord's coming back, we need to grow in life unto maturity.
6六 成熟就是得着基督成形在我们里面；这意思也是我们完全变化成为祂的形像—加四19，林后三18：
6F To be mature is to have Christ fully formed in us; it also means that we have been fully transformed into His image—Gal. 4:19; 2 Cor. 3:18:
7１ 从我们得重生的时候起，主就一直在我们里面作工，使我们有祂的形像—18节，罗八29。
7１ Since the time of our regeneration, the Lord has been working in us so that we may have His image—v. 18; Rom. 8:29.
8２ 等到主把祂的形像完全作到我们里面，祂也从我们里面完全彰显出来的时候，我们就生命成熟了—弗三16~17。
8２ When the Lord has fully worked His image into us and is fully expressed through us, we will be mature in life—Eph. 3:16-17.

9雅五7 所以，弟兄们，你们要恒忍，直到主的来临。看哪，农夫等候地里宝贵的出产，为此恒忍，直到得了秋雨春雨。
9James 5:7 Therefore be long-suffering, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer eagerly awaits the precious fruit of the earth, exercising long-suffering over it until it receives the early and late rain.
10加四19 我的孩子们，我为你们再受生产之苦，直等到基督成形在你们里面。
10Gal. 4:19 My children, with whom I travail again in birth until Christ is formed in you.
11主耶稣实际上就是那真农夫，独一的农夫。当我们等候祂的来临时，祂这位农夫也在等候我们成熟。我们可能会祷告说，“主，求你快回来。”然而祂却会说，“我的孩子们快快成熟吧。当你们在等候我回来时，我也在等候你们成熟。……唯有你们成熟了，才能催促我回来。你们操练恒忍，我也操练恒忍。”（雅各书生命读经，一一四至一一五页）
11The Lord Jesus is actually the real Farmer, the unique Farmer. As we are awaiting His coming, He, as the real Farmer, is awaiting our maturity. We may pray, “Lord, come back quickly.” However, He may say, “My children, mature quicker. While you are awaiting My coming back, I am awaiting your maturity…Only your maturity can hasten My coming back. You exercise your long-suffering, and I exercise My long-suffering.” (Life-study of James, pp. 92-93)

12我们应该晓得，我们若认真等候主回来，就需要在生命上长大；这种领会对我们有极大的帮助。今天大多数的基督徒以完全客观的眼光来看主的来临，以为这与我们属灵的光景或属灵的成长毫无关系。他们以为有一天主会突然来临，而祂的来临与他们的成熟毫不相关。
12It is a great help for us to realize that if we are serious about awaiting the Lord’s coming back, we need to grow in life. Most Christians today view the Lord’s coming in an altogether objective way, in a way that has nothing to do with our spiritual condition or spiritual growth. Their expectation is that one day the Lord will suddenly come and that His coming will have nothing to do with their maturity.
13雅各书五章七节所说农夫的例证，含示农夫一直等候田里的农作物长大成熟。按照启示录十四章，主也一直等候庄稼成熟。……这庄稼乃是主将自己当作种子撒进人里所产生的结果。主的撒种在主第一次来临的时候已经完成了，这是马太十三章所描述的。我们应当晓得，乃是庄稼的成熟才会催促祂的再来。
13The illustration of the farmer in James 5:7 implies that the farmer is waiting for the crop growing in the field to ripen. According to Revelation 14, the Lord is also waiting for the harvest to be ripe…This harvest will be the issue, the outcome, of the Lord’s sowing of Himself as a seed. This was accomplished during the Lord’s first coming, and it is described in Matthew 13. We need to realize that it is the ripening of the harvest that will hasten the Lord’s coming back.
14当我们受逼迫时，就需要恒忍。因此，恒忍（long suffering）是指我们对人容忍的表现。众申言者受逼迫，但他们对逼迫者有恒忍。相反的，忍耐（endurance）是指我们对使我们受苦之事容忍的表现。因此，当约伯遭受苦难时，他表现出忍耐。
14When we are persecuted, we need long-suffering. Therefore, longsuffering is an expression of our patience toward people. The prophets were persecuted, but they were long-suffering toward their persecutors. Endurance, on the contrary, is an expression of our patience toward the things that afflict us. Therefore, when Job suffered affliction, he displayed endurance.
15雅各的著作用了恒忍与忍耐这两个希腊字。当我们等候主再来时，需要恒忍和忍耐，因为我们面对从两个源头来的苦难，就是逼迫我们的人，和叫我们受苦的环境。
15In his writing, James uses the Greek words for long-suffering and endurance. While we are awaiting the Lord’s coming back, we need both longsuffering and endurance because we face suffering from two sources. These sources are persons who persecute us and the environment that afflicts us.
16为着主的再来，我们需要有恒忍、忍耐以及生命的长大。当我们对逼迫我们的人有恒忍，对苦难有忍耐时，我们还需要生命的长大。这样，我们才能说，“哦，主耶稣，求你快来。主啊，你岂没有看见我在生命上长大么？今天我长得比昨天还快。主啊，因着我一直长大，求你加速你的再来。”
16For the Lord’s coming back, we need long-suffering, endurance, and the growth in life. As we are exercising long-suffering toward those who persecute us and endurance toward afflictions, we need to grow in life. Then we will be able to say, “O Lord Jesus, come back sooner. Lord, can’t You see that I am growing in life? Today I am growing faster than yesterday. Because I am growing, Lord, I ask You to speed up Your coming back.”
17我们如果履行生命长大的条件，主就会履行祂快再来的应许。因此，我们需要在生命上长大；当我们长大的时候，也需要操练恒忍和忍耐。这是等候主回来的正路（雅各书生命读经，一一五至一一七页）。
17If we fulfill the condition of growing in life, the Lord will fulfill the condition of coming back sooner. Therefore, we need to grow in life, and as we are growing, to exercise long-suffering and endurance. This is the proper way to await the Lord’s coming back. (Life-study of James, pp. 93-94)
18我们都知道，神救恩的目的是要把我们作成祂的形像〔罗八29〕。……成熟就是主在我们里面完全成形了。也就是说，我们这一个蒙恩得救的人，完全变化成为主的形像。……主的救恩把祂自己加到我们里面。从我们重生得救起，主就把祂自己加到我们里面，使我们有祂的生命和性情；也就是说，从那时候起，主就要把我们作得有祂的形像。等到主把祂的形像完全作到我们里面，祂也从我们里面完全彰显出来的时候，我们就生命成熟了（李文集一九五五年第三册，三八二页）。
18We all know that the purpose of God’s salvation is to work in us so that we may have His image (Rom. 8:29)…To be mature is to have the Lord fully formed in us. It also means that we, those who have been saved, have been fully transformed into the Lord’s image…Through the salvation of the Lord, the Lord has added Himself into us. Since the time of our regeneration and salvation, the Lord has been adding Himself into us, causing us to have His life and nature. In other words, from the time of our salvation, the Lord has been working in us so that we may have His image. When the Lord has fully worked His image into us and is fully expressed out from within us, then we will be mature in life. (CWWL, 1955, vol. 3, “The Way for a Christian to Mature in Life,” pp. 295-296)
