新约 - 彼得后书(2 Peter)第3章

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
彼得后书第三章   彼后 3:3-4> 如果有人说神的应许不会实现的,你…… 

  3:3-4 那些好讥诮的人说基督不会再来,但彼得在这里驳斥他们的说法。“末世”是指基督降生到祂第二次降临之间的时期,故此我们也同彼得一样,处于末世中。我们必须努力去履行神托付我们的使命,相信祂必按着祂的应许再来。 

  彼后 3:7> 3:7 挪亚时代,神用洪水审判世界;基督再来时,祂将用火审判世界(参启 19:20 ; 20:10-15 )。 

  彼后 3:8-9> 祂既不是耽延,但也在等待,那我应该怎样做?作工?等候主? 

  3:8-9 当信徒面对逼迫或等候拯救的时候,总是觉得神的工作很缓慢,其实神并不是拖延,只不过是没有按我们的时间表行事而已(参诗 90:4 )。基督正在等待,希望更多罪人悔改归向祂。我们不能光坐着等候主再来,而要知道时间非常紧迫,有许多重要的工作要我们去做。因此我们既要有长远的事奉计划,又要天天警醒,随时作好准备,如同基督今天就回来一样。 

  彼后 3:10-11> 天地必废去,万事随风逝,我看我手我心所握所爱的,其实…… 

  3:10-11 “主的日子”就是神审判大地的日子,也是基督再来的日子。对不信的人来说,这日子是突然而且可怕的,但对于过着敬虔生活、警醒等候的信徒来说,这日子则是一个盼望已久、欢喜快乐的日子(参赛 34:4 ;珥 3:15-16 ;太 24 章;可 13 章;路 21 章)。我们既知道世界将要被焚,就应该把信心放在那永恒的事物上,不要被世上的财物所缠累。你是花去大部分时间来积攒地上的财产,还是努力培养基督的品性呢? 

  彼后 3:13> 将来的日子…… 

  3:13 神对人的计划并不是拆毁,而是重建(参赛 66:22 ;启 21-22 章)。神要用火洁净天地,继而建造新天新地。信徒可以欢欣地等候此事的成就。 

  彼后 3:14> 无可指摘见主面?如果,如果主明天就来,我可以吗? 

  3:14 我们不要因为基督还未回来就变得闲懒、自满,相反,我们应该在主再来的热切盼望中好好生活。当主再来的时候,你希望自己正在做什么呢?现在就按照自己的期望过每天的生活吧。 

  彼后 3:15-16> 原来保罗书信早已流行…… 

  3:15-16 彼得写这封信的时候,保罗的书信早已享负盛名。要留意彼得将保罗书信里的话视为圣经的一部分,可见初期教会已相信保罗的书信都是神所默示的。 

  彼后 3:15-18> 彼得、保罗虽不同,但他们所说的却大有关连…… 

  3:15-18 彼得和保罗的背景、性格截然不同,他们教导真理的角度也不同。保罗强调拯救乃是神的恩典,而非因遵行律法;彼得则较为喜欢谈基督徒的生活和事奉。但他们没有互相抵触,反而彼此尊重。假教师企图歪曲保罗的教训,作为宽容不法之事的依据。无疑这类教训使假教师大受欢迎,因为人人都喜欢自己的私欲变得合法,但是这完全违反了保罗的教导,保罗可能也料到会出现类似的假教师,所以他在罗马书中写道:“这却怎么样呢?我们在恩典之下,不在律法之下,就可以犯罪吗?断乎不可!”(罗 6:15 )彼得警告他的读者,要防备这些假教师的错谬,就要在恩典中成长,更多认识基督。我们认识耶稣愈多愈深入,假教师就愈难诱惑我们。

  彼后 3:18> 彼得后书告诉我们一样对付假教师的有力工具── 

  3:18 彼得在信的开头就点明了此信的要点。他鼓励读者在救主的恩典和知识上都要长进──就是更深地认识神,这是抵挡假教师最重要的武器。无论我们在属灵的路途上走到哪一步,也不论我们的信心有多成熟,这个邪恶的世代都不断向我们的信仰挑战,我们仍然需要多方面不断成长,更多亲近神,才可以在任何环境下都站立得稳,为真理打美好的胜仗。 ──《灵修版圣经注释》
