Aug17【每日活水】 SHEN 要我们成为圣洁

SHEN 所悦纳的生活

1 弟兄们，我还有话说：我们靠着主 YS 求你们，劝你们，你们既然受了我们的教训，知道该怎样行可以讨　 SHEN 的喜悦，就要照你们现在所行的更加勉励。

2 你们原晓得，我们凭主 YS 传给你们什么命令。

3 SHEN 的旨意就是要你们成为圣洁，远避淫行；

4 要你们各人晓得怎样用圣洁、尊贵守着自己的身体，

5 不放纵私欲的邪情，像那不认识　 SHEN 的外邦人。

6 不要一个人在这事上越分，欺负他的弟兄；因为这一类的事，主必报应，正如我预先对你们说过、又切切嘱咐你们的。

7 SHEN 召我们，本不是要我们沾染污秽，乃是要我们成为圣洁。

8 所以，那弃绝的，不是弃绝人，乃是弃绝那赐 SHENG LING 给你们的　 SHEN 。

9 论到弟兄们相爱，不用人写信给你们；因为你们自己蒙了　 SHEN 的教训，叫你们彼此相爱。

10 你们向马其顿全地的众弟兄固然是这样行，但我劝弟兄们要更加勉励。

11 又要立志作安静人，办自己的事，亲手做工，正如我们从前所吩咐你们的，

12 叫你们可以向外人行事端正，自己也就没有什么缺乏了。

Living to Please God

1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.

2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;

6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before.

7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.

10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,

11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you,

12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
