• 7. Ordinances and Covenants

• 7．教儀和聖約

• Ordinances

• 教儀

• An ordinance is a sacred act that is performed by the authority of the priesthood.

• 教儀是藉由聖職權柄所執行的神聖行為。

• Each ordinance was designed by God to teach spiritual truths, often through symbolism.

• 每項教儀都是神所制定的，為要教導屬靈的真理，通常會透過象徵的方式教導。

• Some ordinances are essential to exaltation and are called saving ordinances.

• 有些教儀是超升所不可或缺的，稱為救恩的教儀。

• Only by receiving the saving ordinances and keeping the associated covenants can we obtain all of the blessings made available through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

• 唯有接受救恩的教儀和遵守相關的聖約，我們才能獲得因耶穌基督的贖罪而來的所有祝福。

• Without these saving ordinances we cannot become like our Heavenly Father or return to live in His presence eternally (see D&C 84:20–22).

• 沒有這些救恩的教儀，我們就無法成為像天父一樣，或回去永遠住在祂的面前（見教約84：20-22）。

• The saving ordinances are performed under the direction of those who hold priesthood keys.

• 救恩的教儀是在持有聖職權鑰的人的指示下執行的。

• The first saving ordinance of the gospel is baptism by immersion in water by one having authority.

• 福音的首要救恩教儀，是藉由一位持有權柄的人執行水中的浸沒洗禮。

• Baptism is necessary for an individual to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ and to enter the celestial kingdom (see John 3:5).

• 洗禮是個人成為耶穌基督教會的成員和進入高榮國度的必要條件（見約翰福音3：5）。

• After a person is baptized, one or more Melchizedek Priesthood holders confirm him or her a member of the Church and bestow upon him or her the gift of the Holy Ghost (see 3 Nephi 27:20).

• 當一個人受洗以後，一位或以上的麥基洗德聖職持有人就會證實他或她為教會的成員，並且賜予他或她聖靈的恩賜（見尼腓三書27：20）。

• The gift of the Holy Ghost is different from the influence of the Holy Ghost.

• 聖靈的恩賜有別於聖靈的影響力。

• Before baptism, a person can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost and receive a testimony of the truth.

• 在洗禮之前，一個人可以感受到聖靈的影響力，並藉此獲得對真理的見證。

• After receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, a person who keeps his or her covenants has the right to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.

• 接受到聖靈的恩賜後，只要他或她遵守聖約，就有權利經常擁有聖靈為伴。

• Other saving ordinances include ordination to the Melchizedek Priesthood (for men), the temple endowment, and the marriage sealing.

• 其他的救恩教儀包括麥基洗德聖職的按立（男性）、聖殿恩道門和婚姻印證。

• In the temple, these saving ordinances can also be performed vicariously for the dead.

• 在聖殿中，也可以代替已逝者執行這些救恩教儀。

• Vicarious ordinances become effective only when the deceased persons accept them in the spirit world and honor the related covenants.

• 唯有已逝者在靈的世界接受代理教儀並遵守相關聖約，代理教儀才具有效力。

• Other ordinances, such as administering to the sick and the naming and blessing of children, are also important to our spiritual development.

• 其他教儀，像為病人施助以及為嬰孩命名與祝福，也都對我們的靈性發展很重要。

• Covenants

• 聖約

• A covenant is a sacred agreement between God and man.

• 聖約是神與人之間的神聖約定。

• God gives the conditions for the covenant, and we agree to do what He asks us to do;

• 在聖約中神給我們條件，我們同意去做祂叫我們做的事；

• God then promises us certain blessings for our obedience (see Exodus 19:5–6; D&C 82:10).

• 神於是因我們的服從而應許我們某種祝福。（見出埃及記19：5-6；教約82：10）

• If we do not abide by our covenants, then we will not receive the promised blessings.

• 我們若沒有遵守我們的聖約，就不會獲得應許的祝福。

• All of the saving ordinances of the priesthood are accompanied by covenants.

• 聖職的所有救恩教儀都附帶著聖約。

• For example, we covenant with the Lord through baptism (see Mosiah 18:8–10), and men who receive the Melchizedek Priesthood enter into the oath and covenant of the priesthood.

• 舉例來說，我們透過洗禮與主訂立聖約（見摩賽亞書18：8-10），接受麥基洗德聖職的弟兄則進入聖職的誓約與聖約。

• We renew covenants we have made by partaking of the sacrament.

• 我們藉著領受聖餐，更新我們的聖約。

• We make further covenants as we receive the saving ordinances of the endowment and the marriage sealing in the temple.

• 我們在接受恩道門和聖殿的婚姻印證的救恩教儀時，更進一步地立下聖約。

• We prepare to participate in ordinances and make covenants in the temple by living the standards of worthiness the Lord has set (see Psalm 24:3–4).

• 我們藉著奉行主所設立的配稱標準，準備自己在聖殿中參與教儀和訂立聖約（見詩篇24：3-4）。

• It is vital that we are worthy to enter the temple because the temple is literally the house of the Lord.

• 我們要配稱進入聖殿是非常重要的，因為聖殿真的是主的屋宇。

• It is the most holy of any place of worship on earth.

• 聖殿是一切崇拜處所中最神聖的。
