記錄心得感想(03-14)
3Sometimes just one verse of scripture can change the world.
3有時候一節經文就足以改變世界。
4James 1:5 seems like a simple bit of counsel—if you need wisdom, ask God. But when 14-year-old Joseph Smith read that verse, “it seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of [his] heart” (Joseph Smith—History 1:12).
4雅各書1:5看似是一項簡單的忠告——假如你缺乏智慧,可以求問神,但是當14歲的約瑟·斯密讀到這節經文時,「它似乎以極大的力量進入〔他〕心中的每一個感覺」(約瑟·斯密——歷史1:12)。
5Thus inspired, Joseph acted on James’s admonition and sought wisdom from God through prayer.
5約瑟受到啟發,於是便按照雅各的勸告採取行動,透過祈禱向神尋求智慧。
6And God did indeed give liberally, giving Joseph one of the most remarkable heavenly visitations in human history—the First Vision.
6而神確實厚賜給他,祂賜給約瑟人類歷史上最重要的一次上天的造訪——第一次異象。
7This vision changed the course of Joseph’s life and led to the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth.
7這次異象改變了約瑟的一生,促成耶穌基督的教會在地面上復興。
8All of us are blessed today because Joseph Smith read and acted on James 1:5.
8今日我們所有的人,都因約瑟·斯密研讀並按照雅各書1:5採取行動而蒙受祝福。
9What will you find as you study the Epistle of James?
9你研讀雅各書時又會有什麼發現呢?
10Perhaps a verse or two will change you or someone you love.
10也許會有一二節經文改變你,或你所愛的人。
11You may find guidance as you seek to fulfill your mission in life.
11在你尋求完成今生的使命時,給你指引;
12You may find encouragement to speak kindly or to be more patient.
12或者鼓勵你說溫和語、要更有耐心。
13Whatever inspires you, let these words “enter … into every feeling of [your] heart.”
13無論你受到哪節經文的啟發,讓這些話「進入〔你〕心中的每一個感覺。」
14Remember to “receive with meekness the … word,” as James wrote, “which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21).
14如雅各所寫的,記得要「存溫柔的心領受……〔這〕道,就是能救你們靈魂的道」(雅各書1:21)。
個人經文研讀的建議:雅各是誰?(15-17)
15It is generally believed that the author of the Epistle of James was a son of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and therefore the half brother of the Savior.
15一般認為,雅各書的作者是馬利亞的兒子,馬利亞是耶穌基督的母親,因此本書的作者就是救主同母異父的兄弟。
16James is mentioned in Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21:18; and Galatians 1:19; 2:9.
16馬太福音13:55、馬可福音6:3、使徒行傳12:17、15:13、21:18和加拉太書1:19、2:9都有提到雅各。
17It appears from these scriptures that James was a Church leader in Jerusalem and had been called as an Apostle (see Galatians 1:19).
17從這些經文看來,雅各是耶路撒冷的教會領袖,並且蒙召喚擔任使徒(見加拉太書1:19)。
耐心忍受考驗會讓我們變得完全。(18-23)
18“Waiting can be hard,” President Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught.
18迪特·鄔希鐸會長教導:「等待有時候很困難,
19“We want what we want, and we want it now.
19我們就是想要心裡要的,而且立刻就要。
20Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant” (“Continue in Patience,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 56).
20因此,一想到忍耐,可能會感到不愉快」(「繼續忍耐」,2010年5月,利阿賀拿,第56頁)。
21After reading James 1:2–4; 5:7–11, what would you say was James’s main message about patience?
21讀了雅各書1:2-4、5:7-11之後,說說看雅各對於忍耐的主要信息是什麼?
22What additional insights do you have after reading the rest of President Uchtdorf’s message?
22讀了迪特·鄔希鐸會長其餘的信息之後,你得到哪些其他的見解?
23How can you show the Lord that you’re willing to be patient?
23你要如何向主表明你願意忍耐?
信心必須要有所行動。(24-31)
24How do you know if you have faith in Jesus Christ?
24你如何知道自己是否對耶穌基督有信心?
25How do your works demonstrate your faith in God?
25你的行為如何展現出對神的信心?
26Think about these questions as you study James’s teachings about faith.
26研讀雅各對於信心的教導時,想一想這些問題。
27It might be interesting to also read about Abraham and Rahab, two examples James mentioned (see Genesis 22:1–12; Joshua 2).
27雅各提到了亞伯拉罕和喇合(見創世記22:1-12;約書亞記第2章),閱讀這兩個例子或許也會很有意思。
28How did they show that they had faith in God?
28他們如何表明對神的信心?
29Reading James 1:3–8, 21–25; 2:14–26; 4:17 may help you think of ways you could be a better doer of the word.
29閱讀雅各書1:3-8,21-25、2:14-26、4:17將有助於你思考如何成為更好的行道者。
30Record any impressions you receive, and make plans to act on them.
30記錄你所得到的靈感,並根據這些靈感訂立計畫採取行動。
31See also Alma 34:27–29; 3 Nephi 27:21.
31亦見阿爾瑪書34:27-29;尼腓三書27:21。
我說的話能傷人,也能造就人。(32-35)
32Among the rich imagery James used throughout his epistle, some of his most vivid language is found in his counsel about language.
32雅各在整篇書信中用了許多的意象,其中最生動的描述,是他針對言談所提出的忠告。
33Consider making a list of all the ways James described the tongue or mouth.
33可以列出雅各用來形容舌頭或嘴的所有詞句。
34What does each comparison or image suggest about the words we speak?
34關於我們所說的話,每一項對比或意象有哪些隱含的意義?
35Think of something you can do to bless someone with your words (see D&C 108:7).
35想一想你可以做什麼事,用你所說的話造福某個人(見教約108:7)。
身為耶穌基督的門徒,我應該要愛所有的人,無論他們的出身如何。(36-39)
36James warned the Saints specifically against favoring the rich and despising the poor, but his warning can apply to any biases or prejudices we may have toward others.
36雅各特別警告聖徒不應偏愛富人和鄙視窮人,但他的警告也適用於我們,提醒我們不要對別人懷有任何偏見。
37It can be difficult to recognize the ways in which we negatively judge others, but the Lord has promised that He will help us see where we need to improve (see Ether 12:27).
37我們可能不容易發現自己以負面的方式評斷他人,但主已應許祂會幫助我們看到自己需要改進的地方(見以帖書12:27)。
38As you prayerfully study James 2:1–9, search your own heart and listen for the Holy Ghost’s promptings.
38透過祈禱一邊研讀雅各書2:1-9,一邊省察自己的內心、聆聽聖靈的提示。
39Do you sense any changes you need to make in the way you treat or think of others?
39你是否感覺到自己需要改變對待別人或看待別人的方式?
家庭祈禱、家庭經文研讀與家人家庭晚會(40-41)
40As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss based on your family’s needs.
40你和家人一起閱讀經文,聖靈能幫助你了解原則強調並討論根據你家庭的需求。
41Here are some suggestions:
41以下是一些建議:
雅各書 1:5(42-44)
42Consider reading James 1:5 and inviting a family member to summarize the account of the First Vision.
42可以研讀雅各書1:5,並邀請一位家人概述第一次異象的紀事。
43(see Joseph Smith—History 1:8–13 or the video “Ask of God: Joseph Smith’s First Vision” on LDS.org)
43(見約瑟·斯密——歷史1:8-13)
44Invite family members to share their testimonies of the Prophet Joseph Smith and experiences when Heavenly Father answered their prayers.
44請家人分享他們對先知約瑟·斯密的見證,並分享天父曾回答他們的祈禱的經驗。
雅各書1:26-27(45-46)
45Consider watching the video “True Christianity” (LDS.org) in connection with these verses.
45可以觀看與這些經文有關的影片:「真正的基督徒」(LDS.org)。
46Then read James’s definition of pure religion and discuss ways your family can make the practice of your religion more pure.
46然後研讀雅各對於真正虔誠的定義,討論你的家庭可以用哪些實際的作為來讓自己更加虔誠。
雅各書第3章(47-50)
47James 3 includes many images that could inspire memorable object lessons to help your family remember to speak kindly.
47雅各書第3章包含了許多意象,可以啟發你用一些實物課程來幫助家人記得要說溫和語。
48For example, you could discuss how a small spark or match can start a large fire, and family members could think of times when an unkind word caused a problem (see verses 5–6).
48比方說,你們可以討論一絲小火花或火柴如何能引發大火,家人可以想一想什麼時候不和善的言詞曾經導致問題發生(見第5-6節)。
49Or you could serve something sour or bitter in something that is usually used for sweet food—such as lemon juice in a honey jar.
49你也可以在一個通常用來做甜食的東西裡,加入一些酸或苦的東西,例如在一罐蜂蜜中加入檸檬汁。
50This could lead to a discussion about ensuring that our words are sweet and uplifting (see verses 9–14).
50這可以引發家人討論如何確使自己說的話,不僅讓人開心又能提升人(見第9-14節)。
雅各書4:5-8(51)
51Why should we “draw nigh to God” when we face temptation?
51面對誘惑時為何要「親近神」?
雅各書5:14-16(52-54)
52Perhaps sharing a personal experience about receiving a priesthood blessing could encourage family members to “ask for a priesthood blessing when [they] are in need of spiritual power” .
52分享接受聖職的個人經驗,或許能鼓勵家人「在〔他們〕需要靈性力量的時候,就應要求聖職祝福」。
53(Dallin H. Oaks, “The Importance of Priesthood Blessings,” New Era, July 2012, 4)
53(達林·鄔克司,「聖職祝福的重要」,2012年7月,利阿賀拿,第48頁)
