诚心忠告 Sincere Advice

默想圣经 Meditate on Scripture: 《提后 1Ti 2: 22-26 

保罗给年轻传道者提摩太的忠告:(1)要逃避年轻人的私欲,要和那些以清洁的心求告主的人,一同追求公义、信心、爱与和平。(2)要拒绝愚蠢无知的问难、不要争论,总要和蔼待人,善于教导,存心忍耐,谦和地指正那些对抗的人。或许神会赐给他们悔改的心认识真理。他们虽然曾经被魔鬼掳去并随其意而行,或许也能醒悟过来,脱离魔鬼的网罗。

Paul's advice to the young preacher, Timothy: (1) Flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. (2) Refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, do not quarrel,  but be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged, humbly correct   those who are offensive, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
