記錄心得感想(03-08)
3When John and Jude wrote their epistles, the predicted Apostasy was underway, a result of both intense persecution and corrupt doctrine.
3約翰和猶大提筆寫信時,先知預言的大叛教已經開始,這是嚴厲的迫害和腐敗的教義所造成的結果。
4Some false teachers even questioned whether Jesus Christ had actually appeared “in the flesh” (see, for example, 1 John 4:1–3; 2 John 1:7).
4有些假教師甚至質疑耶穌基督是否真的以「肉身」顯現過(例見約翰一書4:1-3;約翰二書1:7)。
5So the Apostle John began his first epistle by giving his personal witness of the Savior: “This is the testimony which we give of that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life”.
5因此使徒約翰開始在第一封書信提出他個人對救主的見證:「這是我們所作的見證,論到從起初原有的生命之道,就是我們所聽見、所看見、親眼看過、親手摸過的」。
6(Joseph Smith Translation, 1 John 1:1 [in 1 John 1:1, footnote a])
6(英文版約瑟·斯密譯本約翰一書1:1)
7But perhaps the strongest message of John’s epistles is love: God’s love for us and the love we should have for Him and all His children.
7然而,約翰書信中最強烈的信息或許就是愛:神對我們的愛,以及我們應該對神、對祂所有兒女的愛。
8After all, John had personally experienced the Savior’s love (see John 13:23; 20:2), and he wanted the Saints to feel that same love in the face of hardship and opposition, for “there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18).
8畢竟,約翰曾親身體驗到救主的愛(見約翰福音13:23;20:2),所以他希望聖徒在面臨困難和反對勢力時,能感受到同樣的愛,因為「愛裏沒有懼怕;愛既完全,就把懼怕除去」(約翰一書4:18)。
個人經文研讀的建議:神是光,神也是愛。(09-13)
9If you were to choose one or two words to describe God, what would they be?
9如果你可以用一、二個字來形容神,你會用什麼字?
10In his epistles, John used the words “light” and “love” (1 John 1:5; 4:8, 16).
10約翰在他的書信中用了「光」和「愛」(約翰一書1:5;4:8,16)這兩個字。
11As you read 1 John, ponder John’s experiences as recorded in the Gospel of John, and consider how these experiences may have taught John about the light and love of God.
11研讀約翰一書時,思考約翰福音中有關他的經驗的記載,並想想這些經驗如何教導約翰關於神的光和愛。
12What personal experiences have taught you that God is light and love?
12有哪些個人經驗教導了你神的光和愛?

我可以變得像耶穌基督一樣。(14-18)
14Does the goal of becoming Christlike ever seem too lofty to you?
14你是否曾覺得要成為像基督一樣,這個目標太遙不可及?
15Consider John’s encouraging counsel: “Little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence … [and] we shall be like him” (1 John 2:28; 3:2).
15思考約翰這句鼓舞人心的忠告:「小子們哪,你們要住在主裏面。這樣,他若顯現,我們就可以坦然無懼;……〔而且〕我們必要像他」(約翰一書2:28;3:2)。
16What do you find in 1 John 2:24–3:3 that gives you confidence and comfort as a disciple of Jesus Christ?

是否「從來沒有人見過神」?(19-22)
19Joseph Smith Translation, 1 John 4:12 clarifies that “no man hath seen God at any time, except them who believe”.
19約瑟·斯密譯本,約翰一書4:12說明「除了相信的人以外,從來沒有人見過神」。
20(in 1 John 4:12, footnote a; see also John 6:46; 3 John 1:11)
20(亦見約翰福音6:46;約翰三書1:11)
21The scriptures record several instances when God the Father has manifested Himself to faithful individuals, including John himself.
21經文記載了父神親自向忠信之人顯現的幾個例子,包括約翰本人。
22(see Revelation 4; see also Acts 7:55–56; 1 Nephi 1:8; Doctrine and Covenants 76:23; Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17)
22(見啟示錄第4章;亦見使徒行傳7:55-56;尼腓一書1:8;教義和聖約76:23;約瑟·斯密——歷史1:16-17)

23The idea of overcoming the world appears multiple times in John’s writings.
23戰勝世界這個概念在約翰的寫作中提到好幾次。
24John recorded Jesus saying, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
24約翰記載,耶穌說:「在世上,你們有苦難;但你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界」(約翰福音16:33)。
25And in Revelation 2–3, John recorded the Lord’s promises to those who overcome the world.
25在啟示錄第2~3章,約翰則記載了主給那些戰勝世界的人的應許。
26What did John say about overcoming the world in 1 John 5:3–5?

27As you read 1 John 5, look for what we must do to overcome the world and gain eternal life.
