22/9/2024 劝老年人

真理生活化

多2:1-4

但你所讲的、总要合乎那纯正的道理．劝老年人、要有节制、端庄、自守、在信心爱心忍耐上、都要纯全无疵。又劝不老年妇人、举止行动要恭敬、说谗言、不给酒作奴仆、用善道教训人．好指教少年妇人、爱丈夫、爱儿女。

But say the things which fit sound doctrine, that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience: and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children.

主耶稣！我在想, 老年人多年养成的生活作息, 说话的习惯, 已经成形, 要他们改变, 是不是太为难他们。主啊！我愿意顺服, 学习依靠圣灵的引导, 不强求他们一定要改变, 而是要求自己有耐心劝导他们。
