我們是基督用重價買來的 — 哥林多前書讀經隨筆 第6章

哥林多前書第六章第12—20節，保羅說基督徒雖然凡事都可行，但基督徒行事為人是出於愛心，因此一件事情若是損壞他人，我們就不做，不要被任何事情所轄製，特別是犯罪的事情。保羅勸勉弟兄們要逃避淫行，人所犯的無論什麽罪都在身體以外，惟有淫行是得罪自己的身體，因為我們的身體是聖靈的殿，而聖靈是從神而來住在身體裏頭；並且，我們是基督的人，是基督在十字架上受難用重價買來的，因此，要在我們的身體和靈上榮耀基督和我們的天父。

 

林前6:12 凡事我都可行．但不都有益處。凡事我都可行、但無論那一件、我總不受他的轄製。

"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

林前6:13 食物是為肚腹、肚腹是為食物．但　神要叫這兩樣都廢壞。身子不是為淫亂、乃是為主．主也是為身子．

"Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods," but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

林前6:14 並且　神已經叫主複活、也要用自己的能力叫我們複活。

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

林前6:15 豈不知你們的身子是基督的肢體麽．我可以將基督的肢體作為娼妓的肢體麽．斷乎不可。

Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

林前6:18 你們要逃避淫行。人所犯的、無論甚麽罪、都在身子以外．惟有行淫的、是得罪自己的身子。

Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

林前6:19 豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿麽．這聖靈是從　神而來、住在你們裏頭的．並且你們不是自己的人．

Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

林前6:20 因為你們是重價買來的．所以要在你們的身子上榮耀　神。

for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
