    “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14

    “属血气的人不领会神圣灵的事,反倒以为愚拙,并且不能知道,因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透。” 哥林多前书2:14

    “But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” John 14:26

    “但保惠师,就是父因我的名所要差来的圣灵,他要将一切的事指教你们,并且要叫你们想起我对你们所说的一切话。” 约翰福音14:26

    “When He, the Spirit of truth comes-He will guide you into all truth.” John 16:13

    “只等真理的圣灵来了,他要引导你们明白一切的真理。” 约翰福音16:13

    The doctrine of the inability of the human mind to understand divine teaching, and the need for divine illumination, is so fully developed in the New Testament, that it is nothing short of astonishing that we should have gone so far astray concerning the whole issue.

    人类心智无法理解神圣教导,以及需要神圣启示的教义,在新约中得到了充分的发展,以至于我们在整个问题上如此偏离正道,这实在令人惊讶。

    Evangelicalism has stood aloof from Liberalism in self-conscious superiority; and has on its own part fallen into the error of textualism, which is simply orthodoxy without the Holy Spirit.

    福音派自认为优越,与自由主义保持距离;但它自身也陷入了文字主义的错误,这无非是没有圣灵的正统信仰。

    Everywhere among Conservatives we find people who are Bible-taught, but not Spirit-taught. They conceive truth to be something which they can grasp with the mind. If a man holds to the fundamentals of the Christian faith, then he is thought to possess divine truth.

    在保守派中,我们到处都能看到那些受过圣经教导但未受圣灵教导的人。他们认为真理是可以用头脑理解的东西。如果一个人坚持基督教信仰的基本原则,就被认为拥有了神圣真理。

    But that is an incorrect assumption. The Bible is a supernatural book, and can be understood only by supernatural aid!

    但这是一个错误的假设。圣经是一本超自然的书,只有通过超自然的帮助才能理解!

    Conservative Christians in this day are stumbling over this truth. We need to re-examine the whole thing. We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. A re-preachment of this vital truth could result in a fresh breath from God upon a stale and suffocating orthodoxy.

    当今的保守基督徒在这个真理上跌倒了。我们需要重新审视整个问题。我们需要明白,真理不仅仅在于正确的教义,而是正确的教义加上圣灵的内在启示。重新宣讲这个重要真理可能会给陈腐窒息的正统信仰带来来自上帝的新鲜气息。

    Most Christians see Bible knowledge as something to be stored away in the mind, along with an inert mass of other facts.

    大多数基督徒将圣经知识视为需要存储在头脑中的东西,与其他惰性的事实一起。

    The modern scientist has lost God, amid the wonders of His world.
    And we Christians are in real danger of losing God, amid the wonders of His Word!

    现代科学家在上帝世界的奇妙中失去了上帝。
    而我们基督徒在上帝话语的奇妙中也有真正失去上帝的危险!

    Scripture truths must be experienced, before we can really know them.

    在我们真正了解圣经真理之前,必须先经历它们。

    “Lord, I do believe in the authority of the Scriptures, and thank You for that foundation of truth. But I need to remember that even the inspired text is not alive, until the Holy Spirit takes it and enlightens the recipients. May the Spirit indeed take what I teach and embed it in the hearts and minds of my hearers. Amen.”

    “主啊,我确实相信圣经的权威,并为这真理的基础感谢你。但我需要记住,即使是受启发的经文也不是活的,直到圣灵接管它并启发接受者。愿圣灵确实接受我所教导的,并将其植入我听众的心灵和头脑中。阿门。”

    “Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures!” Luke 24:45

    “于是耶稣开他们的心窍,使他们能明白圣经。” 路加福音24:45

    “Open my eyes, that I may see wonderful things in Your law!” Psalm 119:18

    “求你开我的眼睛,使我看出你律法中的奇妙。” 诗篇119:18
