JY Bible Notes 聖經小筆記

From DeepSeek #### **經文背景**   在《哥林多前書》第3章，保羅針對哥林多教會的分裂問題（有人自稱屬保羅、屬亞波羅、屬磯法）提出糾正。他指出，信徒不應高舉任何領袖，因為教會的真正根基是基督（林前3:11）。接著，他在3:21-22總結說：   > **「所以，無論誰，都不可拿人誇口，因為萬有全是你們的。或保羅，或亞波羅，或磯法，或世界，或生，或死，或現今的事，或將來的事，全是你們的。」**（林前3:21-22）   #### **逐句解釋**   1. **「不可拿人誇口」**      - 哥林多信徒以不同的領袖（保羅、亞波羅、磯法）為派系標籤，彼此爭論誰更優秀。      - 保羅強調，**信徒不該以任何「人」（即使是使徒或教師）為誇耀的對象**，因為這會導致驕傲、分裂，並模糊基督的中心地位。   2. **「因為萬有全是你們的」**      - 保羅在這裡提出一個驚人的真理：**在基督裡，信徒擁有「一切」**。      - 這不是指物質上的佔有，而是指**屬靈的產業**——神已將祂的恩典、應許和資源賜給教會（參羅8:32；林後6:10）。   3. **「或保羅，或亞波羅，或磯法……全是你們的」**      - 保羅列舉幾個關鍵範疇：        - **領袖（保羅、亞波羅、磯法）**：他們不是派系的老闆，而是神賜給教會的僕人，為要建造信徒（林前3:5）。        - **世界**：信徒雖在世但不屬世（約17:16），最終萬物將被更新，歸於基督（啟21:1）。        - **生與死**：無論生死，都在基督的掌管中（羅14:8；腓1:21）。        - **現今的事與將來的事**：神已為信徒預備永恆的福分（林前2:9；弗1:3）。      - **意思是：** 信徒不需要高舉某個領袖或爭奪資源，因為在基督裡，他...

Jimmy Lau How should we look at adversities? A human tendency is to look at opposition and problems as a sign that we are doing something wrong or that God does not want us to go there or do that work. If that is true, the apostles and the first century Christians would have stopped preaching the gospel then. But the field was ready for harvest through the adversaries were many: “ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women ” (Acts 5:14).   Life never went smoothly for Paul (2 Corinthians 11:22-33). But he soldiered on, overcoming the adversities one by one: “ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith ” (2 Timothy 4:7). Paul’s ministry wasn’t a stroll in the park but a fight in the ring.   What are some of the adversaries we may encountaer? Self  – We are our greatest enemy: “ For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do ” (Romans 7:19). Worldliness . The world is ...

from Kwan Tai Choon 言语是品行的果子 隐藏怨恨的，有说谎的嘴；口出谗谤的，是愚妄的人。(箴言 10:18 ) 心里有怨恨，出于挑剔，出于嫉妒，出于不满，出于讨厌，然后表现在批评，说谎，谗谤等不好的言语上。相反，心怀仁爱就能遮掩不良的情绪和言语，抑致情绪的爆发，并避免脱口而出的恶言，所以言语上出问题了，就要反省内心怀藏的精神，只有先正其心，才能正其言，从内心舍弃罪，祈求上帝的爱充满内心，就会有言语上好的果子。 第一戒假 口吐真言，永远坚立；舌说谎话，只存片时。(箴言 12:19 ) 第二戒多 多言多语难免有过；禁止嘴唇是有智慧。(箴言 10:19 ) 诸般勤劳都有益处；嘴上多言乃致穷乏。(箴言 14:23 ) 寡少言语的，有知识；性情温良的，有聪明。(箴言 17:27 ) 第三戒骄 藐视邻舍的，毫无智慧；明哲人却静默不言。(箴言 11:12 ) 谨守口的，得保生命；大张嘴的，必致败亡。(箴言 13:3 ) 愚妄人口中骄傲，如杖责打己身；智慧人的嘴必保守自己。(箴言 14:3 ) 第四戒急 义人的心，思量如何回答；恶人的口吐出恶言。(箴言 15:28 ) 未曾听完先回答的，便是他的愚昧和羞辱。(箴言 18:13 ) 怎样戒急呢，不抢话，语速也不能太快，不能信口开河，要考虑怎样说话要思量怎样应对。 第五戒躁 说话浮躁的，如刀刺人；智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。(箴言 12:18 ) 不要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，恐怕你与他一样。(箴言 26:4 ) 你见言语急躁的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。(箴言 29:20 ) 第六戒怒 愚妄人的恼怒立时显露；通达人能忍辱藏羞。(箴言 12:16 ) 不轻易发怒的，大有聪明；性情暴躁的，大显愚妄。(箴言 14:29 ) 不轻易发怒的，胜过勇士；治服己心的，强如取城。(箴言 16:32 ) 人有见识就不轻易发怒；宽恕人的过失便是自己的荣耀。(箴言 19:11 ) 恒常忍耐可以劝动君王；柔和的舌头能折断骨头。(箴言 25:15 说话急了，进而易躁，失去温良的态度，或者被别人的急躁感染，马上变得与他一样，训练戒急戒躁，才能不至于动怒，动怒是基督徒最大的失败，要在别人的刺激之下，仍保持心平气和，作为有意识的功课来训练，作为更明确的目标来追求。 ...

By Jimmy Lau 2Sa 19:43   And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.   Pride causes strife everywhere it goes. It caused strife between Israel and Judah. It caused strife among the disciples of Jesus (Matthew 20:24). It caused strives in the church at Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10-17). And pride still causes strives in the church today. Solomon concurs: “ Only by pride cometh contention ” (Proverbs 13:10). Perhaps there is not a quarrel among men, or even among nations, which does not proceed from pride and ambition.   Pride is such a terrible sin that it tops the list in the things that God hates (Proverbs 6:16-19). Do you know someone that is full of pride? Are they not hard to be around with? Ind...

From: https://www.worldenglishinstitute.org/admin/assignments/1183464/take Overcoming Pride Pride is one of the greatest obstacles to spiritual growth. Pride hindered the apostles' growth. Again and again, they argued about which of them would be greatest in the kingdom of God (Mark 9:34; Matthew 18:1; Luke 9:46). Jesus responded to their pride by saying, "The one among you who is the most humble—this is the one who is great" (Luke 9:48). Take Up Your Cross Paul encouraged the Christians in Philippi (and us) to think and to act like Christ. Christ gave up his place with God to become a man. "During his life as a man, he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death" (Philippians 2:8). If we want to follow Jesus, we must humble ourselves and stop thinking about ourselves and what we want. We must be willing to follow Christ anywhere, even to death . This teaching goes against human nature. We don't like it, but s...
