Thomas Manton’s Sermons Upon 1 John 3 is a masterclass in Puritan exegesis, theological depth, and heart-stirring application.
托马斯·曼顿的《约翰一书3章讲道集》是清教徒圣经解释学、神学深度和发人深省的应用方面的典范之作。
This collection of 32 sermons unfolds the riches of 1 John 3 with striking clarity and precision, exalting the love of God in adopting sinners as His children, the nature of true righteousness, and the marks of genuine Christian assurance.
这本包含32篇讲道的集子，以令人惊叹的清晰度和精准度阐述了约翰一书3章的丰富内涵，颂扬了神在接纳罪人为祂儿女时的爱、真义的本质以及真正基督徒确信的标志。
Manton does not merely skim the surface of the text—he drills deep into the marrow of Scripture, drawing out its doctrinal treasures and applying them with piercing pastoral insight.
曼顿并非仅仅略读经文表面——他深入挖掘圣经的精髓，挖掘出其中的教义珍宝，并以敏锐的牧师洞察力加以应用。
He carefully expounds upon key themes such as the transforming power of God’s love (“Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us!”), the believer’s purification in light of Christ’s return, the battle against sin, and the distinguishing marks between the children of God and the children of the devil.
他仔细阐述了关键主题，例如神爱的改变性力量（“看父赐给我们何等的慈爱！”）、信徒在基督再来时的洁净、与罪的争战以及神儿女和魔鬼儿女之间的区别标志。
Manton’s handling of sin and holiness is particularly powerful—he does not allow the reader to remain indifferent but compels them to examine whether their profession aligns with the fruits of righteousness.
曼顿处理罪与圣洁的方式尤其有力——他不允许读者保持冷漠，而是迫使他们检查自己的信仰是否与义的果子一致。
These sermons are not cold, detached theological exercises; they are filled with warmth, exhortation, and a deep burden for the souls of men.
这些讲道并非冷冰冰的、脱离实际的神学练习；它们充满了温暖、劝勉和对世人灵魂的深切负担。
Manton masterfully balances doctrinal depth with pastoral tenderness, warning against deception, calling believers to holiness, and pressing the urgency of living in light of eternity.
曼顿巧妙地平衡了教义的深度和牧养的温柔，警告世人提防欺骗，呼召信徒追求圣洁，并强调在永恒的光照下生活的紧迫性。
His expositions of verses like “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil,” and “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren,” reveal the depths of Christ’s redemptive work and the necessity of transformed living.
他对经文的解释，例如“神儿子显现出来，为要除灭魔鬼的作为，”和“我们知道我们是从死里过到生命里，因为我们爱弟兄，”揭示了基督救赎工作的深度以及改变生命之必要。
If you are seeking a robust, scripture-saturated, and convicting study of what it means to be a child of God, this volume will challenge and enrich your soul.
如果你正在寻求一个强有力的、充满圣经真理的、令人悔改的研究，探讨成为神儿女意味着什么，那么这本著作将挑战你并丰富你的灵魂。
