“Our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also . . .
with power,
with the Holy Spirit and
with deep conviction.”
1 Thessalonians 1:5
“我们的福音传到你们那里，不单在乎言语，也在乎…
权能，
圣灵和
深深的确信。”
帖撒罗尼迦前书1:5
Most men’s religion is nothing else but ‘a round of forms’ . . .
some have their ‘doings’,
some have their ‘doctrines’,
and others have their ‘duties’.
大多数人的信仰不过是”一连串的形式”…
有人有他们的”行为”，
有人有他们的”教义”，
还有人有他们的”责任”。
And when the one has performed his doings, the other learned his doctrines, and the third discharged his duties—why, he is as good a Christian, he thinks, as anybody. While all the time, the poor deceived creature is thoroughly ignorant of the kingdom of God, which stands not in simply in word, but in power.
当一个人完成了他的行为，另一个人学会了他的教义，第三个人履行了他的责任—他就认为自己是个和其他人一样好的基督徒。然而这整段时间，这可怜的受欺骗的人对神的国度完全一无所知，因为神的国不在乎言语，乃在乎权能。
But as the veil of ignorance is taken off the heart, we begin to see and feel that there is a power in vital godliness, a reality in the teachings of the Spirit—that religion is not to be put on and put off as a man puts on and off his Sunday clothes.
但当蒙蔽内心的无知面纱被揭去时，我们开始看见并感受到在真实敬虔中有一种能力，在圣灵的教导中有一种真实性——信仰不是像人穿脱星期日的衣服那样可以随意穿脱的。
Where vital godliness is wrought with divine power in a man’s heart, and preached by the Holy Spirit into his conscience it . . .
mingles, daily and often hourly with his thoughts;
entwines itself with his feelings; and
becomes the very food and drink of his soul.
当真实的敬虔藉着神圣的能力在人心中动工，并被圣灵传讲进入他的良心时，它……
每日甚至每时每刻与他的思想交织；
与他的感受紧密相连；
成为他灵魂的饮食。
Now when a man comes to this spot: to see and feel what a reality there is in the things of God made manifest in the conscience by the power of the Holy Spirit—it effectually takes him out of dead churches, cuts him off from false ministers, winnows the chaff from the wheat, and brings him into close communion with the broken-hearted family of God.
当一个人达到这样的地步：看见并感受到藉着圣灵的能力在良心中显明的神的事物是何等真实——这就有效地使他离开死气沉沉的教会，使他远离虚假的传道人，将麦子中的糠秕筛出来，并带领他与神那些心灵破碎的儿女紧密相交。
