As your Biblical knowledge widens
随着你的圣经知识扩展
(John Angell James, “Christian Progress” 1853)
（约翰·安吉尔·詹姆斯，《基督徒的进步》1853年）
There are many who regard an increasing acquaintance
with the text of the Bible, as an evidence of growth in
grace.
许多人认为，对圣经文本认识的增加
就是恩典增长的证据。
Ask yourselves the solemn question. In proportion as
you store your minds with biblical texts and biblical
ideas–are you all the while seeking to have your
heart filled with biblical feelings, and your life with
biblical actions?
问问自己这个严肃的问题。随着
你在头脑中储存圣经经文和圣经
观念——你是否一直在寻求让你的
心充满圣经的感受，让你的生活充满
圣经的行为？
As you grow in acquaintance with the character of God–
do you reverence Him more? As your ideas brighten on the
person of Christ–do you love Him more? As you become
more acquainted with the perfection and spirituality of
God’s Word–do you delight in it more? As you see more
clearly the evil of sin–do you hate it with a more intense
hatred?
随着你对上帝品格的认识增长——
你是否更加敬畏祂？随着你对
基督的认识更加明晰——你是否更加爱祂？随着你
对上帝话语的完美和属灵性认识更多——
你是否更加喜悦它？随着你更清楚地
看到罪恶——你是否以更强烈的
憎恨来恨它？
As your Biblical knowledge widens, do you become . . .
more profoundly humble,
more tenderly conscientious,
more gentle,
more spiritual?
随着你的圣经知识扩展，你是否变得…
更加深刻地谦卑，
更加细致地尽责，
更加温和，
更加属灵？
Unless this is the case, you are in a fatal mistake by
supposing that you are making progress in the divine
life, merely because you are advancing in biblical
knowledge.
除非情况如此，否则你就犯了一个致命的错误，
认为仅仅因为你在圣经
知识上有所进步，就是在神圣的
生命中有所进步。
