To believe and obey God’s Word, is our truest wisdom and happiness. An attention to the voice of God in His Word would comfort us under all troubles, and keep us steadfast amidst all the vicissitudes of life.
相信并遵从神的话语，是我们最真实的智慧和幸福。留心聆听神话语中的声音能在所有困境中安慰我们，在生命的种种变迁中使我们保持坚定。
Luke 16:23-24, “In Hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him: Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire!”
路加福音16:23-24：”他在阴间受痛苦，举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕，又望见拉撒路在他怀里。就喊着说：’我祖亚伯拉罕哪，可怜我吧！打发拉撒路来，用指头尖蘸点水，凉凉我的舌头，因为我在这火焰里，极其痛苦。'”
Who would not rather be in the forlorn condition of Lazarus, and attain his glorious end—than live as the Rich Man did for a little time, and then lack a drop of water to cool his tongue forever?
谁不愿处在拉撒路那凄凉的境况中，最终得着荣耀的结局——而不是像那财主一样活了短暂时光，之后永远得不到一滴水来凉润舌头？
Alas! Who can conceive what it is to lie down in everlasting burnings?
唉！谁能想象躺在永恒的火焰中是什么样子？
Who would not rather be Paul in prison, notwithstanding his chains—than to be like King Agrippa on his throne?
谁不愿意做身陷囹圄的保罗，尽管带着锁链——也不愿像亚基帕王一样坐在王位上？
Yes, the most afflictive circumstances of a pious man are infinitely preferable, all things considered, to the most prosperous state which an ungodly man can enjoy while on earth!
是的，综合考虑，一个虔诚之人最痛苦的处境，也远胜于一个不敬虔之人在世上所能享受的最繁荣状态！
The pious man sows in tears—to reap in joy.
虔诚的人含泪撒种——欢呼收割。
The ungodly man sows the wind—to reap the whirlwind! Hosea 8:7
不敬虔的人播种风——收割暴风！何西阿书8:7
Let us then be persuaded that to serve God is our truest happiness, and that in keeping His commandments there is great reward!
让我们深信服侍上帝是我们最真实的幸福，遵守祂的诫命必有大赏赐！
“They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward!” Psalm 19:10-11
“都比金子可羡慕，且比极多的精金可羡慕；
比蜜甘甜，且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。
况且你的仆人因此受警戒；
守着这些便有大赏。”诗篇19:10-11
