The doctrine which is according to godliness” 1 Timothy 6:3
“合乎敬虔的道理” 提摩太前书 6:3
The doctrine which is according to godliness at once defines the nature of Divine doctrine, intimating that its design or end is to inculcate a right temper of mind and deportment of life-it is pure and purifying.
合乎敬虔的道理立即定义了神圣教义的本质，暗示其设计或目的是要培养正确的心态和生活行为——它是纯洁的，也是使人纯洁的。
It is very much more than a series of intellectual truths intended for the instructing of our brains.
它远不仅仅是一系列用于教导我们大脑的知识真理。
The doctrine which is according to godliness, is the enunciation of spiritual facts and holy principles-for the warming of the heart and the regulating of our lives.
合乎敬虔的道理，是对属灵事实和圣洁原则的宣告——为的是温暖人心并规范我们的生活。
The objects which are revealed in Scripture are not bare abstractions which are to be accepted as true, nor even sublime and lofty concepts to be admired-they are to have a powerful effect upon our daily walk.
圣经所启示的真理不是要我们仅仅接受的抽象概念，也不是要我们仅仅欣赏的崇高理念——它们应当对我们的日常生活产生强大的影响。
There is no doctrine revealed in Scripture for a merely speculative knowledge, but all is to exert a powerful influence upon conduct. God’s design in all that He has revealed to us, is to the purifying of our affections and the transforming of our characters.
圣经所启示的教义不是为了让我们获得纯粹的理论知识，而是要对我们的行为产生强大的影响。神向我们启示一切的目的，是为了洁净我们的情感，转变我们的品格。
It is absurd to conclude that if my creed is sound, then it matters little how I live. Thus it is possible to deny the Faith by conduct-as well as by words. A neglect of performing our duty is as real a repudiation of the Truth, as is an open renunciation of it!
若认为只要信仰正确，生活方式就无关紧要，这种想法是荒谬的。因此，否认信仰不仅可以通过言语，也可以通过行为。忽视履行我们的责任，与公开否认真理同样构成对真理的否定！
The doctrine of grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world (Titus 2:11, 12). By far the greater part of the doctrine taught by Christ consisted not of the explication of mysteries-but rather that which corrected men’s lusts and reformed their lives. Everything in Scripture has in view the promotion of holiness.
恩典的教义教导我们要弃绝不敬虔和世俗的情欲，在今世过着谨守、公义、敬虔的生活（提多书2:11-12）。基督所教导的绝大部分教义，不是解释奥秘，而是纠正人的私欲，改变人的生命。圣经的一切都是为了促进圣洁。
