【林前7:16】你这作妻子的，怎么知道不能救你的丈夫呢？你这作丈夫的，怎么知道不能救你的妻子呢？【1Cor7:16】How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

我们信主之后，若配偶还不是信徒，会发生很多冲突，有人甚至考虑离婚。保罗指出，若不信的一方要离去，就由他或她离去。若不信的一方情愿与信的配偶同住，就不要离开这个婚姻。After coming to faith, if our spouse is not yet a believer, many conflicts may arise. Some may even begin to consider divorce. But Paul teaches that if the unbelieving partner chooses to leave, let them go. However, if the unbelieving partner is willing to remain, the believing spouse should not walk away from the marriage.面临不同的价值观和冲突，神的心意是什么呢？你这信主的，怎么知道不能救那不信的配偶呢？In the face of differing values and ongoing tension, what is God’s heart? How do you know, as the believing spouse, whether you might be the very one through whom God brings salvation to your partner?

夫妻双方都信主时，遇到难处可以一起祷告神。当配偶还不信时，先信的觉得很难，属灵的事情，即使去讲，配偶也不明白，甚至面临配偶的不理解、发怒、责骂…When both husband and wife are believers, they can face life’s difficulties together in prayer. But when only one spouse believes, the journey can feel especially hard. Spiritual matters are often not understood—even when explained with love and care. At times, the believing spouse may face misunderstanding, frustration, or even harsh words from the other.我们巴不得去改变配偶，以为对方信耶稣就好了。原来神的心意是借着不信的配偶，改变我们自己更加像耶稣…We long to see our spouse changed, thinking, “If only they believed in Jesus, things would be better.” Yet so often, God’s heart is to use the unbelieving spouse to change us—to shape us, to humble us, and to make us more like Jesus.

在神凡事都能，我们的盼望在神那里。耶稣用十字架上舍己的爱、无条件的爱，吸引万民归向祂！With God, all things are possible—our hope is in Him. Jesus draws all people to Himself through the self-giving, unconditional love He showed on the cross.今天，神也要借着先信的一方，放下操纵、控制和委屈，钉死自己的意思，活出耶稣的饶恕和爱，因信神掌权，祷告等候，死在我们身上发动，生就要在未信的配偶身上发动。Today, God also desires to work through the believing spouse—not through control, pressure, or resentment, but through a heart that is willing to surrender, to die to self, and to live out Christ’s forgiveness and love each day. By trusting in God’s sovereignty, and through prayer and patient waiting, death is at work in us—so that life may be at work in the unbelieving spouse.

主啊，福音是你的大能，要救一切相信的人！当配偶还没有信的时候，赐我们坚定的信心和盼望，使我们不灰心、不丧胆，不与属血气的争战，靠你的爱，忍耐等候你的时间…Lord, the gospel is Your power to save everyone who believes! When our spouse has not yet come to faith, grant us steadfast faith and hope. Help us not to lose heart or grow weary—not to strive in our own strength, but to rely on Your love and wait patiently for Your perfect timing.当配偶有一天归向你的时候，使我们可以同心事奉，同心见证主的大能和慈爱，使我们的婚姻可以荣耀你的名。And when our spouse turns to You one day, may we serve You together with one heart—bearing witness to Your power and love. Let our marriage bring glory to Your name.
