Jan 07【每日活水】不要随伙装假

 

加拉太书2:11~16

没有别的fu yin保罗在安提阿责备彼得

11后来,矶法到了安提阿;因他有可责之处,我就当面抵挡他。

12从雅各那里来的人未到以先,他和外邦人一同吃饭,及至他们来到,他因怕奉割礼的人,就退去与外邦人隔开了。

13其余的犹太人也都随着他装假,甚至连巴拿巴也随伙装假。

14但我一看见他们行的不正,与fu yin的真理不合,就在众人面前对矶法说:「你既是犹太人,若随外邦人行事,不随犹太人行事,怎么还勉强外邦人随犹太人呢?」

犹太人和外邦人都因信得救

15我们这生来的犹太人,不是外邦的罪人;

16既知道人称义不是因行律/法,乃是因信 YS JI DU ,连我们也信了 JI DU YS ,使我们因信 JI DU 称义,不因行律/法称义;因为凡有血气的,没有一人因行律/法称义。

Paul Opposes Cephas

11When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

12For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.

13The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

14When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?

15“We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles

16know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

灵/修指南

保罗责备彼得的事情,发生在彼得到达外邦 JH 的总部安提阿时。彼得起初并不在意犹太人的饮食规定,因为他曾借 SHEN 的启示知道,即使是外邦人也得蒙救/恩。因此,彼得遵从 SHEN 的心意,打破犹太人和外邦人之间的隔阂。但是当受割礼的犹太人来到他们当中,彼得却做出违背 SHEN 启示的举动(14节)。保罗之所以责备彼得,并非出于利害关系,而是担心彼得的行为会使旁人误会,进而导致fu yin真理遭到扭曲,并且,彼得也因为在意他人的眼光,错失实践及见证真理的机会。接着,保罗在信中以因信称义的概念,强调人得称义是因 YS JI DU ,而非律/法行为。伪善的装假若导致fu yin受到误解、扭曲,就有可能使 JH 遭到摧毁。没有比在世人面前掩盖真理更愚蠢的行为了。请记住,彰显真理才能胜过世界。
 

内室dao告

求主使我抛弃伪善的态度,单单敬畏 SHEN 、在乎 SHEN 的眼光。
