有人跌倒
讀經 : 哥林多前書 10 : 1~13
1 Corinthians 10 : 1~13
10:1 弟兄們，我不願意你們不曉得，我們的祖宗從前都在雲下，都從海中經過，
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
10:2 都在雲裡、海裡受洗歸了摩西；
and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
10:3 並且都吃了一樣的靈食，
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
10:4 也都喝了一樣的靈水。所喝的，是出於隨著他們的靈磐石；那磐石就是基督。and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. followed...: or, went with them
10:5 但他們中間多半是神不喜歡的人，所以在曠野倒斃。
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
10:6 這些事都是我們的鑑戒，叫我們不要貪戀惡事，像他們那樣貪戀的；
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. our...: Gr. our figures
10:7 也不要拜偶像，像他們有人拜的。如經上所記：百姓坐下吃喝，起來玩耍。
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
10:8 我們也不要行姦淫，像他們有人行的，一天就倒斃了二萬三千人；
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
10:9 也不要試探主（有古卷：基督），像他們有人試探的，就被蛇所滅。
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10:10 你們也不要發怨言，像他們有發怨言的，就被滅命的所滅。
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
10:11 他們遭遇這些事，都要作為鑑戒；並且寫在經上，正是警戒我們這末世的人。
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. ensamples: or, types
10:12 所以，自己以為站得穩的，須要謹慎，免得跌倒。
wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
10:13 你們所遇見的試探，無非是人所能受的。神是信實的，必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的；在受試探的時候，總要給你們開一條出路，叫你們能忍受得住。
where hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it . common...: or, moderate
「所以，自己以為站得穩的，須要謹慎，免得跌倒。」

馬太福音 13 : 1~30
Matthew 13 : 1~30
13:1 當那一天，耶穌從房子裡出來，坐在海邊。The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
13:2 有許多人到他那裡聚集，他只得上船坐下，眾人都站在岸上。
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3 他用比喻對他們講許多道理，說：「有一個撒種的出去撒種；
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;13:4 撒的時候，有落在路旁的，飛鳥來吃盡了；
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:13:5 有落在土淺石頭地上的，土既不深，發苗最快，
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
13:6 日頭出來一曬，因為沒有根，就枯乾了；And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
13:7 有落在荊棘裡的，荊棘長起來，把它擠住了；And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
13:8 又有落在好土裡的，就結實，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
13:9 有耳可聽的，就應當聽！」
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:10 門徒進前來，問耶穌說：「對眾人講話，為甚麼用比喻呢？」
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?13:11 耶穌回答說：「因為天國的奧祕只叫你們知道，不叫他們知道。
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
13:12 凡有的，還要加給他，叫他有餘；凡沒有的，連他所有的，也要奪去。
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13:13 所以我用比喻對他們講，是因他們看也看不見，聽也聽不見，也不明白。
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13:14 在他們身上，正應了以賽亞的預言，說：你們聽是要聽見，卻不明白；看是要看見，卻不曉得；
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
13:15 因為這百姓油蒙了心，耳朵發沉，眼睛閉著，恐怕眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裡明白，回轉過來，我就醫治他們。
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
13:16 「但你們的眼睛是有福的，因為看見了；你們的耳朵也是有福的，因為聽見了。
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
13:17 我實在告訴你們，從前有許多先知和義人要看你們所看的，卻沒有看見，要聽你們所聽的，卻沒有聽見。」
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them ; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them .
13:18 「所以，你們當聽這撒種的比喻。
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19 凡聽見天國道理不明白的，那惡者就來，把所撒在他心裡的奪了去；這就是撒在路旁的了。
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one , and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
3:20 撒在石頭地上的，就是人聽了道，當下歡喜領受，
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
13:21 只因心裡沒有根，不過是暫時的，及至為道遭了患難，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了。
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin
13:22 撒在荊棘裡的，就是人聽了道，後來有世上的思慮、錢財的迷惑把道擠住了，不能結實。
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
13:23 撒在好地上的，就是人聽道明白了，後來結實，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。」
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it ; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
13:24 耶穌又設個比喻對他們說：「天國好像人撒好種在田裡，
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
13:25 及至人睡覺的時候，有仇敵來，將稗子撒在麥子裡就走了。
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
13:26 到長苗吐穗的時候，稗子也顯出來。
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
13:27 田主的僕人來告訴他說：『主啊，你不是撒好種在田裡嗎？從那裡來的稗子呢？』
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
13:28 主人說：『這是仇敵做的。』僕人說：『你要我們去薅出來嗎？』
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
13:29 主人說：『不必，恐怕薅稗子，連麥子也拔出來。
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
13:30 容這兩樣一齊長，等著收割。當收割的時候，我要對收割的人說，先將稗子薅出來，捆成捆，留著燒；惟有麥子要收在倉裡。』」
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
即使倍受尊重的公眾人物，也時有醜聞發生，我們雖深感失望，但卻不感到意外。當聽到名人或是朋友道德敗壞的消息時，我們應如何反應呢？
我們或許可以從檢視我們自己開始。一個世紀以前，章伯斯在倫敦的聖經訓練學院告訴他的學生：「永遠要儆醒留意這個事實：有人跌倒的地方，正是任何人都會跌倒之處……，自以為堅強卻輕忽不謹慎，這正是加倍的軟弱。」
章伯斯的話重申了保羅的告誡，當我們在看見他人的罪時，要注意自己的軟弱。保羅回顧了以色列人在曠野的悖逆之後（哥林多前書10章1-5節），力勸讀他的書信的人，要從這罪中學到教訓，以免重蹈覆轍（6-11節）。保羅寫道：「自己以為站得穩的，須要謹慎，免得跌倒」（12節）。這裡所著眼的並非過去的失敗，而是針對眼前的驕傲。
對於公眾人物的犯罪，我們的一般反應都會搖頭表示責難，但如果我們能點頭說：「是的，我也會那樣犯錯。」接著，低下頭來，為跌倒之人與自以為堅強的人代求禱告，深信這將會更有益處。DCM
賜福救主助我謙卑，
除去心中驕傲罪性；
我靠自己必定跌倒，
助我與祢緊緊相隨。D. De Haan
驕傲在敗壞以先；狂心
願上帝賜恩福與全家, 身心靈健壯, 凡事興盛.
小栗姐 祝福您, 服事得力, 滿有神恩典同在.
