    “YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN: FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE: THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD’S.” 1 COR. 6:19, 20.
    “你们不是自己的人,因为你们是重价买来的。所以要在你们的身子上,并在你们的灵里荣耀神,因为这些都是神的。” 哥林多前书 6:19, 20。

    WITHOUT any more curious division, we may take notice of Three parts in these words.
    我们若不作更多细究的分段,可以留意到这些话中有三部分。

    A Doctrine:
    一个教义:

    A Reason: and
    一个理由:和

    A Use.
    一个用途(应用)。

    The Doctrine is, Ye are not your own.
    教义是,你们不是自己的人。

    The Reason of it, For ye are bought with a price.
    它的理由是,因为你们是重价买来的。

    The Use, which is strongly inferred from both these, and is indeed the most natural and genuine result of the doctrine of our redemption purchased by Christ, Therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
    用途,它是从这两者中被有力地推论出来的,并且确实是基督所成就的我们救赎教义的最自然和最真实的结果,即:因此要在你们的身子上,并在你们的灵里荣耀神,因为这些都是神的。

    It is this last, which I principally intend to insist on; as that, unto which both the former parts refer, and in which they centre.
    我主要打算强调的正是这最后一部分;因为它是前两部分所指向、并以之为中心的部分。

    Yet I shall not altogether wave the former branches; but more briefly represent what they administer to us, either of instruction or direction.
    然而,我不会完全放弃前面的分支;但会更简要地呈现它们给我们提供的教导或指导。

    I. To begin with the PROPOSITION, Ye are not your own.
    一. 从这个命题开始,你们不是自己的人。

    i. And, here, TWO THINGS must fall under our disquisition:
    i. 并且,在这里,有两件事情必须纳入我们的探讨范围:

    What this phrase implies, and
    这个短语暗示了什么,以及

    What it infers.
    它推断出什么。

    What significancy it carries in itself; and what obligation it lays upon us.
    它本身携带着什么意义;以及它对我们施加了什么责任。

    About the Author
    关于作者

    Ezekiel Hopkins ws born in Devonshire, England, in 1633.
    以西结 霍普金斯(Ezekiel Hopkins)于 1633 年出生在英国德文郡。

    His father, also a minster of the gospel, gave his young son a personal education in the things of God.
    他的父亲,也是一位福音的仆人(minister),在属神的事上亲自教育他年幼的儿子。

    He entered Oxford at the age of 16, and received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees there, the latter in June, 1656.
    他十六岁时进入牛津大学,并在那里获得了文学士和文学硕士学位,后者是在 1656 年 6 月获得的。

    In 1660, he went to London and became assistant to Dr. William Spurstow, minister of Hackney, near the city.
    1660 年,他前往伦敦,成为靠近该城的哈克尼(Hackney)牧师威廉 斯珀斯托博士(Dr. William Spurstow)的助理。

    In 16632, when the Act of Uniformity was passed, Dr. Spurstow resigned rather than conform, which left Hopkins without a call.
    在 1662 年(原文误作16632),当《统一法案》(Act of Uniformity)通过时,斯珀斯托博士宁愿辞职也不愿遵从,这使得霍普金斯失去了圣召(call)。

    Several groups sought him to be their pastor, but details of the next five years are sketchy at best.
    有几个团体寻求他作他们的牧师,但关于接下来五年多的细节充其量只是零散的。

    But he was widely regarded as a good preacher.
    但他被广泛认为是一位优秀的传道人(preacher)。

    Men of opposite views and principles with regard to political and ecclesiastical government listened with delight to his instructive and eloquent declaration of the whole counsel of God.
    那些在政治和教会治理方面观点和原则相反的人,都乐意听他那富有教益且雄辩地宣讲上帝全部的旨意(counsel of God)。

    In 1681, Hopkins was transferred to Londonderry in Ireland, but returned to London in 1688 when the Roman Catholic army increased and political unrest in Ireland intensified.
    1681 年,霍普金斯被调往爱尔兰的伦敦德里(Londonderry),但当罗马天主教军队增加以及爱尔兰的政治动荡加剧时,他于 1688 年返回伦敦。

    But within 9 months of returning to London, he passed into the presence of the Lord.
    然而在返回伦敦不到九个月,他就进入了主的同在(presence of the Lord)。
