Heavenly wisdom
属天的智慧
(J. C. Philpot)
(J. C. 菲尔波特)
“The Comforter, the Holy Spirit . . . will teach you all things.” John 14:26
“保惠师，就是圣灵…将要教导你们一切的事。” 约翰福音14:26
There is a heavenly wisdom which the Holy and Blessed Spirit alone can give. He sheds a sacred light on His own word of truth, and by His personal and living teachings–opens, enlarges, and persuades the heart to receive what He thus shows and teaches.
唯有圣洁蒙福的圣灵才能赐予属天的智慧。祂在自己真理的话语上洒下神圣的光芒，通过祂个人的活泼教导，开启、扩展并说服人心领受祂所显明和教导的。
However valuable and blessed the book of God is, we cannot be made wise unto salvation by the word itself–without the special teachings of the Holy Spirit as a personal and living instructor. He can suit His teachings to our case; knows when, where, and how to teach us; can bear with our ignorance and stupidity; give us the right lesson at the right time and in the right way; and do for us what no earthly teacher can–write His own laws upon our hearts and give us will and power to keep and obey them.
尽管神的话语何等宝贵蒙福，若没有圣灵作为个人的活泼教师所给予的特别教导，我们无法仅凭这话语得着得救的智慧。祂能使祂的教导适合我们的处境；知晓何时、何地、如何教导我们；能容忍我们的无知和愚笨；在适当的时候以适当的方式给予我们正确的教导；并为我们成就地上教师所不能做到的事——将祂的律法写在我们心上，赐给我们遵守和顺服的意志与能力。
