全新四年樂活讀經
W3 2011-08-17 (羅2)
經文: 羅馬書 2:21 你既是教導別人，還不教導自己嗎？你講說人不可偷竊，自己還偷竊嗎？
默想: 是的，主啊！教導者必須願意先力行遵守自己教導的內容。求主保守我，不要光說不練，願意將自己從您所領受的真理，先教導自己來遵行，然後，才分享給教會兄姐。
題目: 11-16節，對於未聞福音就死了的人，他們的靈魂是否會得救？你有何看法？(參約壹1:9、羅2:11、徒10:34)
2:1 你這論斷人的，無論你是誰，也無可推諉。你在甚麼事上論斷人，就在甚麼事上定自己的罪；因你這論斷人的，自己所行卻和別人一樣。
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
2:2 我們知道這樣行的人， 神必照真理審判他。
We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who do such things.
2:3 你這人哪，你論斷行這樣事的人，自己所行的卻和別人一樣，你以為能逃脫 神的審判嗎？
Do you suppose, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do them yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?
2:4 還是你藐視他豐富的恩慈、寬容、忍耐，不曉得他的恩慈是領你悔改呢？
Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
2:5 你竟任著你剛硬不悔改的心，為自己積蓄忿怒，以致 神震怒，顯他公義審判的日子來到。
But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
2:6 他必照各人的行為報應各人。
For he will render to every man according to his works:
2:7 凡恆心行善、尋求榮耀、尊貴和不能朽壞之福的，就以永生報應他們；
to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;
2:8 惟有結黨、不順從真理、反順從不義的，就以忿怒、惱恨報應他們。
but for those who are factious and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.
2:9 將患難、困苦加給一切作惡的人先是猶太人，後是希臘人；
There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,
2:10 卻將榮耀、尊貴、平安加給一切行善的人，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。
but glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.
2:11 因為 神不偏待人。
For God shows no partiality.
2:12 凡沒有律法犯了罪的，也必不按律法滅亡；凡在律法以下犯了罪的，也必按律法受審判。
All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
2:13 （原來在 神面前，不是聽律法的為義，乃是行律法的稱義。
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.
2:14 沒有律法的外邦人若順著本性行律法上的事，他們雖然沒有律法，自己就是自己的律法。
When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
2:15 這是顯出律法的功用刻在他們心裡，他們是非之心同作見證，並且他們的思念互相較量，或以為是，或以為非。
They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them
2:16 就在 神藉耶穌基督審判人隱祕事的日子，照著我的福音所言。
on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
2:17 你稱為猶太人，又倚靠律法，且指著 神誇口；
But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast of your relation to God
2:18 既從律法中受了教訓，就曉得 神的旨意，也能分別是非（或作：也喜愛那美好的事）；
and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,
2:19 又深信自己是給瞎子領路的，是黑暗中人的光，
and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
2:20 是蠢笨人的師傅，是小孩子的先生，在律法上有知識和真理的模範。
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth --
2:21 你既是教導別人，還不教導自己嗎？你講說人不可偷竊，自己還偷竊嗎？
you then who teach others, will you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?
2:22 你說人不可姦淫，自己還姦淫嗎？你厭惡偶像，自己還偷竊廟中之物嗎？
You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
2:23 你指著律法誇口，自己倒犯律法，玷辱 神嗎？
You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
2:24 神的名在外邦人中，因你們受了褻瀆，正如經上所記的。
For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."
2:25 你若是行律法的，割禮固然於你有益；若是犯律法的，你的割禮就算不得割禮。
Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
2:26 所以那未受割禮的，若遵守律法的條例，他雖然未受割禮，豈不算是有割禮嗎？
So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
2:27 而且那本來未受割禮的，若能全守律法，豈不是要審判你這有儀文和割禮竟犯律法的人嗎？
Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law.
2:28 因為外面作猶太人的，不是真猶太人；外面肉身的割禮，也不是真割禮。
For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.
2:29 惟有裡面作的，才是真猶太人；真割禮也是心裡的，在乎靈，不在乎儀文。這人的稱讚不是從人來的，乃是從 神來的。
He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God.
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
2:2 我們知道這樣行的人， 神必照真理審判他。
We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who do such things.
2:3 你這人哪，你論斷行這樣事的人，自己所行的卻和別人一樣，你以為能逃脫 神的審判嗎？
Do you suppose, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do them yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?

在舊約時代，上帝的選民以色列人和現在的猶太人，他們要一生遵守上帝的律法才能靈魂得救：他們不相信耶穌是彌賽亞，仍盼望彌賽亞來臨了。但是到了新約時代，上帝藉著祂的愛子耶穌所完成的十架救恩，使凡信耶穌的人靈魂都可以得救。基督徒相信彌賽亞已來過，傳福音的目的是要讓人從今撒旦掌權的邪惡的世代中，轉向基督，直等到基督再臨的時候。
回覆刪除以弗所書2：8清楚告訴我們：「你們得救是本乎恩，也因著信」。可見得救有兩個條件：(1)恩典，(2)信。而恩典是上帝白白賞賜給所有人類，所以，凡若相信又信靠這份恩典的人都要得救。一個基督徒若要得到完全的救贖，是要繼續保持對「恩典」的信心，不能中途停下來。繼續不斷地信靠耶穌基督，只有這樣的人，靈魂才能得救。羅馬書 10:9 也告訴我們：「你若口裡認耶穌為主，心裡信上帝叫他從死裡復活，就必得救」。「得救」，乃是指前面所說的將來靈魂「不至滅亡」 ，並且得以進入新耶路撒冷，在聖城裡享受父上帝的同在和永遠的喜樂。 這是上帝信實的應許。
彼得後書 3:9清楚告訴我們：「主所應許的尚未成就，有人以為他是耽延，其實不是耽延，乃是寬容你們，不願有一人沉淪，乃願人人都悔改」。可見，上帝對人的態度是有慈愛，有寬容，祂愛他們並且切望他們得救。正如羅馬書 2:11和使徒行傳 10:34所說：「上帝不偏待人」。祂對那些失喪的人們極深的關切和愛。祂用忍耐使得那些失喪的人有機會得救。祂盼望世人靈魂得救是極大迫切的。祂不想任何一個人滅亡;祂可以完全除滅罪人，但祂沒有。這不是說每個人靈魂都得救；事實上，有些人會拒絕救恩（約5:40）；有些人會忽視救恩（來二3）；有些人會喪掉靈魂（可八36）；有些人會不聽福音（彼前四17）。最終，會有人不能得救，但這不是上帝的本意，祂給人有自有意志去選擇。
基督再臨的時候，即主所應許成就時，在審判台前，上帝會親自篩選綿羊，山羊，麥子，稗子的。得救的進入天國，不相信的下地獄（滅亡）。至於未聞福音就死了的人，他們在世上的時候，很可惜，他們未曾聽過基督的福音，不曉得救恩，更不用談因信稱義的真理，當然無法接受主寶血贖罪的功效了，他們的靈魂是不能得救的。
