行善不灰心 - 加拉太書讀經隨筆 第6章

加拉太書第六章第8—10節，保羅鼓勵弟兄姐妹們在行善方麵不要灰心，因為如果我們不放棄的話，到了季節就有收成，也就是說，主再來的時候，我們就會有獎賞。因此，有了機會就當向眾人行善，特別是向主裏的弟兄姐妹們行善。保羅說，向著自己肉體撒種的（如奸淫、汙穢、邪蕩、拜偶像、邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、紛爭、異端、嫉妒、凶殺、醉酒、荒宴等）將從肉體收敗壞；向著聖靈撒種的（如仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節製）將從聖靈收永生。

加6:8 順著情欲撒種的、必從情欲收敗壞．順著聖靈撒種的、必從聖靈收永生。
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
加6:9 我們行善、不可喪誌．若不灰心、到了時候、就要收成。
Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.
加6:10 所以有了機會、就當向眾人行善．向信徒一家的人更當這樣。
So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
