“How I love Your teaching! It is my meditation all day long.” Psalm 119:97
“我何等爱慕你的律法，终日不住地思想。”诗篇119:97
Chrysostom compares the Scripture to a garden—every truth is a fragrant flower which we should wear, not on our bosom, but in our heart!
屈梭多模将圣经比作一座花园——每个真理都是一朵芬芳的花，我们应当佩戴它，不是在胸前，而是在心中！
David counted the Word “sweeter than honey and the honeycomb”.
大卫认为圣言”比蜜甘甜，比蜂房滴蜜更甜”。
There is that in Scripture which may breed delight. It shows us the way…
圣经中有能带来喜悦的内容。它向我们展示通往…
to riches, Deuteronomy 28:8, Proverbs 3:30;
财富的道路，申命记28:8，箴言3:30；
to long life, Psalm 34:42;
长寿的道路，诗篇34:42；
to a Kingdom, Hebrews 12:28.
天国的道路，希伯来书12:28。
Well then may we count those the sweetest hours, which are spent in reading the holy Scriptures. Well may we say with the prophet, “Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became a delight to me and the joy of my heart!”
那么，我们可以把阅读圣经的时光视为最甜美的时刻。我们可以与先知一同说：”我得着你的言语，就当食物吃了。你的言语成了我心中的欢喜快乐！”
Conform to Scripture.
Let us lead Scripture lives.
Oh that the Bible might be seen printed in our lives!
Do what the Word commands.
遵从圣经。
让我们过合乎圣经的生活。
但愿圣经能印在我们的生命中！
遵行圣言的命令。
Obedience is an excellent way of commenting upon the Bible.
“Teach me Your way, O Lord, and I will walk in Your truth.”
Let the Word be the sun-dial by which you set your life.
顺服是注解圣经的绝佳方式。
“耶和华啊，将你的道指教我，我就遵行你的真理。”
让圣言成为指引你生命的日晷。
What are we the better for having the Scripture, if we do not direct all our speech and actions according to it?
如果我们不按照圣经来指导我们的言语和行为，那么拥有圣经对我们又有什么益处呢？
What are we the better for the rule of the Word, if we do not make use of it, and regulate our lives by it?
如果我们不运用上帝的话语，不以此规范我们的生活，我们又怎能从中受益？
What a dishonor is it to religion, for men to live in contradiction to Scripture!
人若活在与圣经教导相违背的生活中，这是何等地羞辱信仰！
The Word is called a “light to our feet”. It is not only a light to our eyes to mend our sight—but to our feet to mend our walk. Oh let us lead Bible lives!
圣经被称为”照亮我们脚步的光”。它不仅是照亮我们眼睛以改善视力的光，更是指引我们脚步以改善行为的光。让我们过合乎圣经的生活吧！
Be thankful to God for the Scriptures. What a mercy is it that God has not only acquainted us what His will is, but that He has made it known by writing!
为圣经感谢上帝。上帝不仅让我们知晓祂的旨意，还以文字记载下来，这是何等的怜悯！
The Scripture is our pole-star to direct us to Heaven—it shows us every step we are to take. When we go wrong—it instructs us; when we go right—it comforts us.
圣经是指引我们通往天堂的北极星——它指示我们当走的每一步。当我们偏离正道时，它教导我们；当我们行在正道上时，它安慰我们。
Adore God’s distinguishing grace, if you have felt the power and authority of the Word upon your conscience—if you can say as David, “Your Word has quickened me.” Christian, bless God that He has not only given you His Word to be a rule of holiness—but His grace to be a principle of holiness. Bless God that He has not only written His Word, but sealed it upon your heart, and made it effectual. Can you say it is of divine inspiration, because you have felt it to be of lively operation?
如果你已经感受到上帝话语在你良心上的能力和权柄，如果你能像大卫一样说”你的话语使我活过来”，就当敬拜上帝独特的恩典。基督徒啊，要称颂上帝，因祂不仅赐下祂的话语作为圣洁的准则，还赐下祂的恩典作为圣洁的原则。称颂上帝，因祂不仅写下祂的话语，还将其印在你心上，使其发挥功效。你能说这是出于神的启示吗？因为你已经感受到它活泼的运行。
Oh free grace! That God should send out His Word, and heal you. That He should heal you, and not others! That the same Scripture which to them is a dead letter, should be to you a savor of life!
噢，白白的恩典！上帝竟差遣祂的话语来医治你。祂医治了你，却不医治别人！同样的经文对他们而言是死的文字，对你却成了生命的馨香！
