今日佳音

胡乱地满足性欲，会妨碍神国的降临，而这些欲念会像云雾般很快消失，剩下的只是我们永无止境的渴求。

情人眼里

Eye Of The Beholder

读经 | Reading

“你心中不要恋慕她的美色。” - 箴 6:25

Do not lust in your heart after her beauty...

— Proverbs 6:25

灵修 | Devotion

情人眼里除了出西施外，还会出淫念。想与某人亲密的那种欲望，开始时可能只是看一眼，后来进展到交谈起来，跟着便是身体上的接触。然而，当事人很快便会失去理智，最终以不幸和伤痛告终。

Not only beauty but also lust is in the eye of the beholder. Wanting to take intimacy from another person can begin with a glance, move on to a conversation, and be followed with a touch. But soon a person can lose control of their senses, and the result is disaster and unhappiness.

对任何人来说，随己意满足性欲，都会造成莫大的伤害。耶稣说，假如你的眼睛去看不应当看的事物，那你就宁可今生失去那犯罪的眼睛，好叫你不致全身灭亡。这个听来严厉的劝告，特别强调人的性欲的杀伤力。性欲是神所赐的，它能制造生命，但也能摧毁生命。

Fulfilling sexual desire any way we see fit is destructive for everyone. If your eye wanders, it would be better, says Jesus, to go through life without that offensive eye than to lose your entire life in destruction. This seemingly harsh advice underscores the power of human sexuality, a God-given gift. It gives life but can also destroy it.

生命是神所赐的，透过性，人类能按神的心意结出果子：美满的婚姻和“求告耶和华的名”的后裔（创世记4:26）。

Life is God’s gift, and human sexuality is the means to bring forth fruit that God desires: intimate marriages and descendants who “call on the name of the Lord” (Genesis 4:26).

可是，胡乱地满足性欲，会妨碍神国的降临，因为这样做违背了神的公义，它只是试图利用别人来满足自私的欲念，而这些欲念会像云雾般很快消失，剩下的只是我们永无止境的渴求。

But gratifying sexual desire lustfully gets in the way of the coming kingdom of God because it does not seek the righteousness of God. It seeks only to use others in the satisfaction of selfishness, which is soon gone like a mist, leaving us longing for more.

想到那些在挣扎持守信心的人时，希伯来书的作者劝勉我们这些仍未完成赛事的基督徒，应当定睛仰望耶稣，跟随祂为我们定下的路线向前奔跑（希伯来书12:1-2）。

In light of all who have struggled to keep the faith, the author of Hebrews exhorts us who are Christ’s disciples and who have not yet finished the race to keep our eyes on Jesus, following the course he marked out for us (Hebrews 12:1-2).

祷告 | Prayer

亲爱的主，求祢引导我的眼睛去仰望祢，不看污秽的事物，好叫我能像祢爱我那样去爱我的邻舍。奉耶稣的名求，阿们。

Dear Lord, direct my eyes to look at you, and keep my eyes from lust, that I may love my neighbor as you love me. For Jesus’ sake, Amen.
