新约 - 彼得后书(2 Peter)第2章

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed--an accursed brood!
They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey--a beast without speech--who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."
彼得后书第二章   彼后 2:1> 假教师,古往今来皆大行其道,要防备,可要…… 

  2:1 耶稣曾告诉门徒,假教师将要出现(参太 24:11 ;可 13:22-23 ),彼得也曾听见这些话,现在他亲眼见到这些话应验。正如旧约时代的假先知只讲百姓想听的话,与真先知的信息相违背一样(参耶 23:16-40 ; 28:1-17 ),现在假教师也同样歪曲基督的教训和使徒的话。他们贬低基督的生命、受死和复活的价值;有些宣称基督不是神,又有些宣称祂不是真实的人;他们向人灌输各种错误和不道德的思想,尤其是情欲的罪。今天,我们也要小心假教师,提防他们对基督和祂的工作的错误解释和教导。任何书刊、录音带和电视的信息都要用神的话去检验。 

  彼后 2:3> 用捏造的语言在我们身上取利,我想我不会这样傻被人骗吧…… 

  2:3 教师应当由学生供养,但这些假教师却企图藉着扭曲真理、宣讲人喜欢听的话,牟取更多金钱。他们对赚钱的兴趣比教导真理大得多。彼得和保罗都谴责这些贪婪、虚谎的假教师(参提前 6:5 )。今天,我们也应小心,我们的金钱是花在那些认真事奉神的事工上,还是被人利用来提高自己地位和权力。 

  彼后 2:4-6> 犯罪的结果就是这样──但,也许到最后神会撤去审判也说不定──有人说。会是这样吗? 

  2:4-6 如果神没有宽容天使,也没有宽容洪水时代之前的人和所多玛蛾摩拉的百姓,祂也不会宽容这些假教师。有些人想叫我们相信神会拯救所有的人,因为祂爱世人,但我们绝不要愚蠢地以为神会撤销最后的审判。这里提到的三个实例都清楚地警告我们,神必定会审判和惩罚那些不肯悔改的人,谁都不能逃脱。 

  彼后 2:7-9> 我满身罪污,我,怎办呢? 

  2:7-9 正如神从所多玛拯救了罗得,祂也会将我们从这个邪恶世界的试探和试炼中救拔出来。罗得也是罪人,但他信靠神,所以当所多玛城要被火毁灭时,他得到神的宽容和拯救(参创 14 章人物介绍)。神同样会审判那些试探诱惑人的恶者,因此我们不用担心神是否公义的问题。 

  彼后 2:10-12> 这些人究竟做了什么,彼得竟说他们是畜类? 

  2:10-12 那“在尊位的”可能是指天使,更有可能是指那些堕落了的天使(参犹 8-10 )。假教师轻看撒但的力量,自称有能力去判决邪恶。我们这个时代,许多人漠视灵界的受造物,否定灵界的真实性,只承认能够见到、摸到的事物。到了末后,他们必显出自己的愚昧和错谬,好像当年的假教师一样。不要轻看撒但和它的邪恶力量,也不要以为它必然会被打败而掉以轻心,虽然它将要完全被击倒,但现在它正竭尽全力地诱惑那些狂妄自满的信徒。 

  彼后 2:13-14> 心怀诡诈,却与别人同坐席,同说信徒合一;我的生活…… 

  2:13-14 “坐席”是指共进爱筵,这是圣餐的一部分,也是丰富的一餐,以圣餐作为结束。虽然假教师公然过着犯罪的生活,却与其他信徒一同参加教会的爱筵,这真是极大的伪善!他们领受圣餐,表明信徒间的爱与合一,但同时又毁谤造谣,中伤反对自己的人。正如保罗对哥林多教会所说:“无论何人,不按理吃主的饼、喝主的杯,就是干犯主的身、主的血了。”(林前 11:27 )这些人的罪比传假教导、享受罪中之乐的更甚,因为他们使人离弃神的儿子耶稣。 

  彼后 2:15> 这巴兰是谁?是旧约的人物吗? 

  2:15 巴兰曾被摩押王巴勒用金钱收买来咒诅以色列人。他起先按照神所吩咐的去做了(参民 22-24 章),但最后他顺从了邪恶的动机和贪财之心,而不遵从神对他的吩咐(参民 25:1-3 ; 31:16 )。当时的假教师正如巴兰一样,利用宗教作为个人得利的门路,所以神必不轻看这罪。 

  彼后 2:19> 自由,我可以爱做什么,就做什么,是这样吗? 

  2:19 自由并不是“想做就去做”。因为倘若我们不肯跟随神,就会随着自己的邪情私欲,变成自己肉体的奴隶。只要我们顺服基督,祂就使我们从罪中得到释放。基督使我们得着自由,使我们可以事奉神,这才是我们追求的至善目标。 

  彼后 2:20-22> 得着救恩,心得洁净,却往回走在罪中──我的信仰写照?你的信仰写照? 

  2:20-22 彼得在这里所指的是那些已经认识耶稣的人,他们知道如何得救,也曾受其他信徒造就,但后来却拒绝真理,回到以前的罪恶中。这样,他们的处境就比以前更可怜,因为他们放弃了得救的惟一途径,就如一个人掉进浮沙中,却不肯去抓住那条抛给他的救命绳索一样(参路 11:24-26 注释)。 ──《灵修版圣经注释》
