保羅從未說過的6句與時俱進名言6RELEVANT THINGS THAT SAINT PAUL NEVER SAID

作者: Nicholas Davis 译者: Duncan Liang

1. 不要效法這個世界只要隨此刻任何覺得正確的感覺更新而變化通過感覺——你覺得好的、喜悅的早到三分鐘之前、看起來是純全的感覺察驗何為神的旨意。

保羅說過的話羅馬書十二2

「不要效法這個世界只要心意更新而變化叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。」

 2. 弟兄們,我還有未盡的話:凡是你們認為是真實的、廣受歡迎的、流行的、讓人心情愉快的、你們愛上的、真正有名的人說的,若有讓你們提升地位的,這些事你們都要思念,並且要在社交媒體上公開說出來——還要全時間點讚。

保羅說過的話:腓立比書四8

「弟兄們,我還有未盡的話:凡是真實的、可敬的、公義的、清潔的、可愛的、有美名的,若有什麽德行,若有什麽稱讚,這些事你們都要思念。」

 3. 我靠著那加給我力量的,能結識朋友和影響別人。我靠著那加給我力量的,能賭博,每次都贏。我靠著那加給我力量的,能展翅高飛。我靠著那加給我力量的,能變得超級成功、富有、出名、有影響力和有權有勢。

保羅說過的話:腓立比書四12-13

「我知道怎樣處卑賤,也知道怎樣處豐富,或飽足、或饑餓、或有余、或缺乏,隨事隨在,我都得了秘訣。我靠著那加給我力量的,凡事都能作。」

4. 這卻怎麽樣呢?我們在恩典之下,不在律法之下,就可以犯罪。你想做什麽就做什麽,我信你能做得到!

保羅說過的話:羅馬書六15

「這卻怎麽樣呢?我們在恩典之下,不在律法之下,就可以犯罪嗎?斷乎不可!」

5. 你們所遇見的試探,都不是人所能受的。這是我的真心話,這些事情今天誰能受得了呢?神理解你,如果你真心努力嘗試,答應下次不再犯,祂是理解你的。重要的是你努力了,對吧?

保羅說過的話:哥林多前書十13

「你們所遇見的試探,無非是人所能受的。神是信實的,必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的。在受試探的時候,總要給你們開一條出路,叫你們能忍受得住。」

 6. 不要太緊張,輕松一下好了。我說的只不過是指引,只要重新有一顆年輕的心,活出精彩。凡你們所作的,都要為自己而作。這是你們應得的!

保羅說過的話:哥林多前書十六13-14


「你們務要警醒,在真道上站立得穩,要作大丈夫,要剛強。凡你們所作的都要憑愛心而作。」

6 RELEVANT THINGS THAT SAINT PAUL NEVER SAID
Nicholas Davis

1. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by whatever feels right at the time, that by your feelings you may know God’s will—that which feels good to you and is acceptable (as of three minutes ago) and looks perfect.
What Paul actually said: Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

2. Finally, brothers, whatever is true for you, whatever is popular, whatever is trending, whatever is pleasurable, whenever you think you’re falling in love, whatever really famous people say, and if it’s something that will give you a higher status, think about such things and say them publicly on Facebook—like, all the time. 
What Paul actually said: Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

3. I can win friends and influence people through him who strengthens me. I can gamble and win every time through him who strengthens me. I can fly through him who strengthens me. I can become super successful, rich, famous, influential, and all powerful through him who strengthens me.
What Paul actually said: Philippians 4:12-13

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

4. What then? We can sin because we are not under law but under grace. Do whatever you want, you got this!
What Paul actually said: Romans 6:15

What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

5. No temptation has overtaken you except that which is common to everyone. I mean really, who can withstand it anyway these days? God understands, and he will not judge you for trying really hard and promising not to do it again next time. It’s all about human effort, right?
What Paul actually said: 1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

6. Let your guard down and just relax a bit. Everything I’ve said is more like a guideline; just be young again and live a little. Let all that you do be done for you. You deserve it!
What Paul actually said: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
