The Talking Book会说话的书

The Talking Book…
会说话的书…

Spurgeon’s, “The Talking Book”
司布真的《会说话的书》

The Bible sanctifies and moulds the mind into the image of Christ.
圣经使心灵成圣，并将其塑造成基督的形象。

You cannot expect to grow in grace if you do not read the Scriptures.
若不读经，你就不能期望在恩典中成长。

If you are not familiar with the word, you cannot expect to become like Him that spoke it.
若不熟悉神的话语，你就不能期望变得像说这话的主。

Oh, be much with the holy word of God, and you will be holy.
啊，多与神的圣言同在，你就会成为圣洁。

Be much with the silly novels of the day,
and the foolish trifles of the hour,
and you will degenerate into vapid wasters of your time.
若多与当今愚蠢的小说为伍，
与这时代无聊的琐事纠缠，
你就会沦为虚度光阴的无用之人。

But be much with the solid teachings of God’s word,
and you will become solid and substantial men and women:
drink them in, and feed upon them, and they shall produce
in you a Christ-likeness, at which the world shall stand astonished.
但要多与神话语的坚实教导相伴，
你就会成为坚实可靠的男女信徒：
将这些话语饮入吸收，以之为粮，它们就会
在你里面产生基督的样式，使世人为之惊叹。
