《Philokalia-慕善集》讀譯進度: 2025/8/16
聖經列出聖靈的七種恩賜,從智慧開始,到敬畏聖靈為止;因為聖經提到「智慧的靈、通達的靈、謀略的靈、剛強的靈、神性知識的靈、崇敬的靈、敬畏神的靈」(參以賽亞書 11:2)。但我們應該從淨化的敬畏開始,也就是對懲罰的畏懼;這樣,首先摒棄邪惡,通過悔改除去罪惡的骯髒,我們就能達到對聖靈純潔的敬畏。一旦達到這個境界,我們就可以放下所有為美德所做的掙扎。
以賽亞書 11:2 耶和華的靈必住在他身上,就是使他有智慧和聰明的靈,謀略和能力的靈,知識和敬畏耶和華的靈。
瑪拉基書 4:2 但向你們敬畏我名的人必有公義的日頭出現,其光線(原文作翅膀)有醫治之能。你們必出來跳躍如圈裡的肥犢。
以弗所書 3:18能以和眾聖徒一同明白基督的愛是何等長闊高深,並知道這愛是過於人所能測度的,便叫神一切所充滿的,充滿了你們。
從同一個眼裏湧出泉源,會發出甜和苦兩樣的水嗎?無花果樹能結橄欖,橄欖樹能結橡子嗎?(參 雅各書 3:11-12)。同樣地,心中的單一泉源不可能同時產生好與壞的圖像。
相反地,「善人從他心裡所存的善就發出善來;惡人從他心裡所存的惡就發出惡來;因為心裡所充滿的,口裡就說出來。」,正如主所說的(路加福音 6:45)。--譯自《慕善集》
