Is God unjust?
神是不公平的吗?
“Just as it is written: ‘Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.’ What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For He says to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.’ It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.” Romans 9:13-16
“正如经上所记:’雅各是我所爱的,以扫是我所恨的。’这样,我们可说什么呢?神有什么不公平吗?断乎没有!因为祂对摩西说:’我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁,要恩待谁就恩待谁。’据此看来,这不在乎那定意的,也不在乎那奔跑的,只在乎发怜悯的神。”罗马书9:13-16
Though God is absolutely sovereign, having mercy on whom He will have mercy and hardening whom He will — He is strictly just, both in bestowing His saving mercy upon His elect, and in the everlasting damnation of the reprobate.
虽然神是绝对主权的,要怜悯谁就怜悯谁,要使谁刚硬就使谁刚硬 — 祂是完全公义的,无论是在赐予祂的选民拯救的怜悯上,还是在对不蒙拣选者的永远定罪上。
“Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.” Romans 9:18
“所以神要怜悯谁就怜悯谁,要叫谁刚硬就叫谁刚硬。”罗马书9:18
