“Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105
“你的话是我脚前的灯，是我路上的光。”诗篇119:105
“Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them!” John 13:17
“你们既知道这些事，若是去行就有福了！”约翰福音13:17
It is necessary to read the Bible, not just to know the will of God—but that we may do it. If Scripture is not the practice of our life—it is nothing to us.
阅读圣经是必要的，不仅是为了知道上帝的旨意——而是为了我们可以去行。如果圣经不是我们生活的实践——它对我们来说就毫无意义。
Its truths are to be applied. If we read the Beatitudes, we are to compare ourselves with their Divine requirements, and seek to be conformed to them. If we come upon a verse that rebukes any habit or sin of ours, we are immediately to make the needed amendment.
它的真理是要被应用的。如果我们读到八福，我们要将自己与其神圣要求相比较，并寻求与之相符。如果我们遇到一节经文责备我们的任何习惯或罪，我们要立即做出必要的改正。
We are to accept its promises, believe them—and then act as believing them.
我们要接受它的应许，相信它们——然后按照相信它们的方式行事。
We are to allow its comforts to enter our hearts and support us in sorrow.
我们要让它的安慰进入我们的心，在悲伤中支持我们。
There is nothing written in the Bible merely for ornament or beauty. Every word is practical! There is no truth in Scripture which has not some bearing upon actual living. When we come to it eager to know how to live, and ready to obey its precepts—we shall find it opening its inmost meaning to us!
圣经中没有任何内容仅仅是为了装饰或美化而写的。每一个字都是实用的！圣经中没有一个真理是与实际生活无关的。当我们渴望知道如何生活，并准备遵守其教诲时——我们将发现它向我们展示其最深层的含义！
“If you love Me, you will obey My commandments.” John 14:15
“你们若爱我，就必遵守我的命令。”约翰福音14:15
“We know that we have come to know Him, IF we obey His commands. The man who says, ‘I know Him,’ but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him!” 1 John 2:3-4
“我们若遵守他的诫命，就晓得是认识他。人若说我认识他，却不遵守他的诫命，便是说谎话的，真理也不在他心里了。”约翰一书2:3-4
