“Though I understand all mysteries and all knowledge . . . and have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2
“我若明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识……却没有爱，我就算不得什么。” 哥林多前书13:2
We must distinguish between things that differ, namely, a knowledge of spiritual things-and actual spiritual knowledge.
我们必须区分不同的事物，即对属灵事物的知识和真正的属灵知识。
A knowledge of spiritual things can be acquired by the unregenerate.
Spiritual knowledge is peculiar to the children of God.
未重生的人可以获得对属灵事物的知识。
属灵知识是神的儿女所特有的。
A knowledge of spiritual things is merely intellectual and theoretical.
Spiritual knowledge is vital and effectual.
对属灵事物的知识仅仅是理智上和理论上的。
属灵知识是至关重要和有效的。
One may take up “Bible study” in the same way as another would the study of philosophy or science. He may pursue it diligently and enthusiastically. He may obtain a familiarity of the letter of Scripture and a proficiency in understanding its terms, far in advance of the hard-working Christian who has less leisure and less natural ability.
一个人可能像学习哲学或科学一样学习”圣经”。他可能勤奋热情地追求。他可能对圣经字句非常熟悉，并在理解其术语方面很精通，远远超过那些闲暇时间较少、天赋较低的勤奋基督徒。
Yet what is such knowledge worth, if it . . .
does not affect the heart,
fails to transform the character and
make the daily walk pleasing to God!
然而，如果这样的知识……
不能触动内心，
无法改变品格，
也不能使日常生活讨神喜悦，
那么这样的知识有什么价值呢！
Unless our “Bible study” is conforming us, both inwardly and outwardly, to the image of Christ-it profits us nothing!
除非我们的”圣经学习”使我们在内在和外在上都效法基督的形象，否则对我们毫无益处！

Don Fortner: “Adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.” Titus 2:10. Let us take great care to conform our lives to our doctrine. Doctrine and duty cannot be separated. Every truth discovered in the Word of God ought to be applied to our lives. If our character and conduct does not reflect the grace and glory of God revealed in the gospel, our doctrine is utterly meaningless!
唐·福特纳：”在凡事上装饰我们救主神的道理。”提多书2:10。让我们格外小心，使我们的生活符合我们的教义。教义和责任是不可分割的。在神的话语中发现的每一个真理都应该应用到我们的生活中。如果我们的品格和行为不能反映福音中所启示的神的恩典和荣耀，我们的教义就完全毫无意义！
