Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. HEB. 12:28, 29.
所以，我们既然领受了不能震动的国，就当感恩，并以敬畏和畏惧（awe）的心，献上神所悦纳的敬拜（worship），因为我们的神是烈火。希伯来书 12:28, 29。
THIS text contains in it a Doctrine, a Use, and a Motive.
这段经文包含了一个教义（Doctrine）、一个用途（应用，Use）和一个动机（Motive）。
The Doctrine is, We have received a kingdom which cannot be moved.
教义是，我们领受了一个不能被震动的国。
The Use or Inference from thence is this: Therefore, let us serve God.
由此而来的用途或推论是：所以，让我们服事神。
And the Motive, to enforce this exhortation, is in these words, for our God is a consuming fire.
而加强（enforce）这个劝勉的动机，就在于这些话：“因为我们的神是烈火”。
First. In the first part, which is the Thesis or Position, We have received a kingdom which cannot be moved, we must know, there is a Twofold Kingdom: a Kingdom of Grace, set up in the heart of a saint, where Christ alone reigns as sole monarch and sovereign; and a Kingdom of Glory, prepared for us in the highest heavens, where we shall reign as kings with Christ for ever.
首先。在第一部分，即主旨（Thesis）或立场（Position）：“我们领受了一个不能被震动的国”中，我们必须知道，存在一个双重的国度（Kingdom）：一个是在圣徒心中建立的恩典的国度（Kingdom of Grace），在那里基督独自作王，作唯一的君主（monarch）和主宰（sovereign）；另一个是在至高天上为我们预备的荣耀的国度（Kingdom of Glory），在那里我们将永远与基督一同作王。
If we take it in the former sense, for the Kingdom of Grace, so the Apostle saith, we have a kingdom, that is, we have it already in possession.
如果我们以前一种意义来理解，即恩典的国度，那么使徒（Apostle）说，我们有一个国度，也就是说，我们已经拥有它了。
Christ hath established his dominion over every believer: and, though he sits personally upon his throne in heaven; yet he rules in us by the vicegerency and deputation of his Spirit that received commission from him, and also by the law of his Word enacted by it.
基督已经在每个信徒身上建立了祂的统治（dominion）：虽然祂亲自坐在天上的宝座上；但祂藉着祂的灵的代理（vicegerency）和委任（deputation）在我们里面掌权，这灵从祂那里领受了使命（commission），也藉着祂的道（Word）所颁布的律法在我们里面掌权。
If we understand it in the latter sense, for the Kingdom of Glory, which seems most congruous to the design of the Apostle, so, also, we have a kingdom, and that in a Fourfold sense.
如果我们以后一种意义来理解，即荣耀的国度，这似乎与使徒的意图（design）最为契合（congruous），那么，我们也拥有一个国度，并且是在四重意义上拥有的。
By Grace, giving us the earnest of it.
藉着恩典，赐给我们它的凭据（earnest）。
By Faith, realizing it.
藉着信心，使它成为真实（realizing）。
By Hope, embracing it. And,
藉着盼望，拥抱它。还有，
By the Promises, assuring of it.
藉着应许，确定它。
