Forgive as God forgives you—don’t keep score.
别惦记旧恶,像上帝饶恕你一样地去饶恕别人。
Forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
彼此饶恕,正如上帝在基督里饶恕了你们一样。-以弗所书4章32节
At his son’s wedding reception, my friend Bob offered advice and encouragement to the newlyweds. In his speech he told of a football coach in a nearby town ,who when his team lost a game, kept the losing score on the scoreboard all week to remind the team of their failure. While that may be a good football strategy,Bob wisely advised, it’s a terrible strategy in marriage. When your spouse upsets you or fails you in some way, don’t keep drawing attention to the failure. Turn off the scoreboard.
我的朋友鲍柏在他儿子的婚礼上,给予新人忠告与勉励。他谈起附近的镇上有一位橄榄球教练,每当他的球队输球,他就会把输掉的分数登记在记分板上一个星期,借以提醒球队的失败。但鲍柏却睿智地劝告这对新人,对橄榄球队而言,这可能是个有效的策略,但在婚姻方面,却是个不智之举。当你的配偶使你生气或是令你失望,千万别一直提起对方的过失,而是要丢掉记分板,勿念旧恶。
What great advice! Scripture is full of commands for us to love each other and overlook faults. We are reminded that love “keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Cor. 13:5) and that we should be ready to forgive one another “just as in Christ God forgave you” (Eph. 4:32).
这真是金玉良言啊!圣经里有许多要我们彼此相爱、忽视过错的劝诫,例如:爱是「不计算人的恶」(哥林多前书13章5节) ;我们应该彼此饶恕,「正如上帝在基督里饶恕了你们一样」 (以弗所书4章32节) 。
I am deeply grateful that Godturns off the scoreboard when I fail. He doesn’t simply forgive when we repent;He removes our sin as far as the east is from the west (Ps. 103:12). With God,forgiveness means that our sin is out of sight and out of mind. May He give us grace to extend forgiveness to those around us.
我感谢上帝丢掉了记分板,没有记下我的过失。祂不仅是在我们回转时饶恕我们,而且祂叫我们的罪过离开我们,如同东与西相隔那么远(诗篇103篇12节) 。对上帝而言,饶恕就是不再注视、也不再追究我们所犯的罪。愿祂赐给我们恩典,将赦免之恩扩展到我们周遭的人。
Lord,thank You for not holding my sins against me and for granting me a second chance. Help me today to forgive others just as You have so freely forgiven me.
主啊,感谢祢并不计较我的过犯,
反而再次给我机会。
帮助我也能宽恕别人,
就像祢已无条件地饶恕了我。
Read: Ephesians 4:25-32 NIV
“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
