行善不灰心 - 加拉太书读经随笔 第6章

加拉太书第六章第8—10节，保罗鼓励弟兄姐妹们在行善方面不要灰心，因为如果我们不放弃的话，到了季节就有收成，也就是说，主再来的时候，我们就会有奖赏。因此，有了机会就当向众人行善，特别是向主里的弟兄姐妹们行善。保罗说，向着自己肉体撒种的（如奸淫、污秽、邪荡、拜偶像、邪术、仇恨、争竞、忌恨、恼怒、结党、纷争、异端、嫉妒、凶杀、醉酒、荒宴等）将从肉体收败坏；向着圣灵撒种的（如仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制）将从圣灵收永生。

加6:8 顺着情欲撒种的、必从情欲收败坏．顺着圣灵撒种的、必从圣灵收永生。

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 我们行善、不可丧志．若不灰心、到了时候、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 所以有了机会、就当向众人行善．向信徒一家的人更当这样。

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.
