新约 - 哥林多后书(2 Corinthians)第3章

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
哥林多后书第三章   林后 3:1-3> 保罗写信荐举人,却说自己不用荐书,是何原因? 

  3:1-3 有些假教师携带着假的荐信,想以此证明自己是有权威的。保罗以坚定的语调表示,他不需要这样的荐信。那些因保罗和他的同工传福音而信主的人,已足以成为他的荐信。但保罗自己却写过多封荐信,例如他曾写信推荐非比(参罗 16:1-2 )和提摩太(参林前 16:10-11 )。这些介绍信帮助保罗所信任的同伴和朋友,在另一间教会里得到友善接待。 

  林后 3:3> 领人归主,是因我口才好,不是吗?那你说是谁的工作? 

  3:3 保罗刻意引用一段着名的旧约经文,预言神子民将要得到新心(参耶 31:33 ;结 11:19 ; 36:26 )。任何传道人都不应以能领人归主而夸耀,这都是圣灵的工作。我们不是按某些守则或运用某些技巧而成为基督徒,乃是神差遣祂的灵进入我们的心中,使我们相信祂,并有新的力量为祂而活。 

  3:4-5 保罗在此并不是要自夸,乃是将他所有的成就都归荣耀给神。假教师夸耀自己的能力和威望,保罗却愿意在神面前保持谦卑。没有人能不需要神的帮助,也没有人能靠自己的力量承担神所交给他的责任。倘若无圣灵加添力量,我们的才能是十分有限的。要为基督作见证,就需要神所赐的品格和特殊的能力。 

  林后 3:6> “精意”叫人活,是什么意思?“精意”从何来? 

  3:6 “那字句叫人死,精意是叫人活”的意思是说想靠着遵守旧约律法而得救,结果就是死亡。惟有相信耶稣基督,仰望圣灵才可以获得永生。律法使人察觉自己的罪,但却不能赐人生命。 

  林后 3:7-11> 我守律法不也可以称义吗?要我靠耶稣?我不喜欢靠人,这我要想想…… 

  3:7-11 保罗把十诫的荣耀和赐生命之圣灵的荣耀作一对比,如果引向死亡的律法是荣耀的,那么藉圣灵而赐我们生命的荣耀岂不更大吗!耶稣基督的牺牲,远远超越旧约的祭礼(参来 8:10 )。既然神的计划是这么奇妙的,我们岂敢随意拒绝呢? 

  林后 3:9> 旧新两约各有作用,你说旧约句句分量重定有荣耀;那新约又如何? 

  3:9 保罗说如果旧约已充满荣耀,那么,请想想新约更是何等荣耀呢?律法是奇妙的,因为虽然它定我们的罪,但却指引我们归向基督。在新约里,律法和应许都已满足了;基督已经来了,靠着信心我们可以被称为义──与神和好。 

  林后 3:13-18> 耶稣死时幔子落,神人隔阻除,只是人心仍有帕子在其上,你说这帕子是…… 

  3:13-18 当摩西从西奈山上携带十诫走下来时,他的脸充满神圣的光彩,因为他与神同在(参出 34:29-35 )。为了不使他面上的荣光吓坏以色列人,他用了一个帕子遮脸。保罗在这里指出,这帕子使人看不见摩西面上的荣光早已褪掉光彩。摩西和他的帕子象征着已褪色的旧制度,以及人的心思意念被骄傲、心硬和不肯悔改所遮蔽了。人若成为基督徒,基督必要除去这块帕子( 3:16 ),赐他永生,不再藉遵守律法称义。这面纱除掉了,我们便可以像镜子一样反照神的荣耀。 

  林后 3:17> 主灵在哪里,那里就有自由──我不用靠守律法也可以得救? 

  3:17 那些尝试靠遵行律法而得救的人,反被律例和典章所捆绑。但现在藉着圣灵,神使我们从罪中和审判中得到释放(参罗 8:1 )。我们信靠耶稣的拯救,祂便除去我们的重担,我们不再为讨神的喜悦而烦恼,或感到内疚,因我们是基督所爱、所接纳和所原谅的,我们可以自由地决定要为祂而活。“主的灵在哪里,那里就得以自由!” 

  林后 3:18> 保罗讲的内容好美,我好想变成主的样式,真的可以吗?
