Do not let any unwholesome talk out of your mouths, but what is helpful for building others up according to their need, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29) 有時(或常常)英文版本更讓人點頭連連。 1. 不要讓聽了有害身心(靈)的言語從你的口中說出來, 2. 而是要根據他們的需要, 3. 說出有益的話語來造就人, 4. 這樣做,或許會對那聽到的的人有益。(也只是或許) 尤其最後一句話,讓人不禁感嘆,即使說的人想說出對聽的人有益的話,但結果不必然是如此。 更別提說話時,若夾著 bitterness苦澀, rage 怒斥, anger生氣, brawling吵架 slander毀謗中傷, every form of malice以各種形式呈現的惡意,這些情緒,如火藥武器發射到對方內心國度時,會產生多大的衝擊,即使對方看起來,似乎什麼回應也沒有的樣子。 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice (Ephesians 4:31) 所以,去除掉內心當中任何一點的惡吧。在潔白的衣服上,即使是一點點,那還是個存在的黑點。Fine linen stands for the righteous acts (Revelation 19:8) The good man brings good things out of good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 善人從他心裡所積存的善,就發出善來;惡人從他心裡所存的惡,就發出惡來。 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgive you. 好好親切地對待別人、帶著同情心站在他的立場理解,來原諒他人的過失,就像我們做錯時, 神與基督原諒我們一樣。 He said to me:” It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Begging and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. (Revelation 21:6) 水不僅象徵生命,也真的孕育生命。 沒有水,會渴死;沒有水,萬物會枯乾,人類動物會餓死;沒有水,不能洗澡洗頭刷牙洗臉,會臭死癢死;沒有水,不能洗衣服,衣服會發爛作噁;沒有水,無法打掃環境,會引發SASS,會致病而死;沒有水,就無法洗掉骯髒的部分,徒然失去美好。 象徵生命水的話語,就是如此哪。 Picture by Penguins Diving off Iceberg, Steve Bloom (企鵝:你以為我們在跳海尋死嗎?不不,我們在享受生命之水哩)
