31/10/2023 不是命你们

林前7:4-5

妻子没有权柄主张自己的身子、乃在丈夫．丈夫也没有权柄主张自己的身子、乃在妻子。夫妻不可彼此亏负、除非两相情愿、暂时分房、为要专心祷告方可、以后仍要同房、免得撒但趁着你们情不自禁、引诱你们。我说这话、原是准你们的、不是命你们的。

The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife. Don't deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control. But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

主耶稣！我要感谢使徒保罗的真诚, 

将神的教诲分开, 有准许和命令。主啊！求圣灵的感动, 引导教会的监督, 效法使徒保罗的真诚, 和敬畏神的智慧, 弃绝私心, 教导真理生活化, 

活出真理。
