【腓1:9-10】我所祷告的，就是要你们的爱心在知识和各样见识上多而又多，使你们能分别是非（或作‘喜爱那美好的事’），作诚实无过的人，直到基督的日子。” 【Phi1:9-10】And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

保罗感恩腓立比信徒对基督福音的热心和结出的果子，但保罗的祷告却聚焦在信徒的生命，而不是事工的兴旺上。因为事工是果子，而生命才是福音的本源。Paul thanked the believers in Philippi for their passion for the gospel of Christ and the fruit it produced. Yet his prayer wasn’t about how successful their ministry was, but about the growth of their inner life. Ministry is the fruit; life is the root of the gospel.好树结好果子，坏树结坏果子。当信徒被主的爱浇灌，里面自然会流出热心—奉献、服事—但随之而来的肉体也常常发动，而人自己却不易察觉。A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit. When believers are soaked in the Lord’s love, zeal naturally overflows—through giving and serving—but our flesh often rises up as well, and we don’t easily see it.所以保罗的祷告极有圣灵的洞察力：光有神学知识而没有舍命的爱心，人就冷酷，如同月光下的一座冰山；而光有肉体热情而没有知识和见识的爱心，就像旱季中燃起的野火，看似热烈，却失去方向，不分好歹、不辨是非，甚至包容了错误与罪。That’s why Paul’s prayer shows such Spirit-given insight: having knowledge without self-giving love makes a person cold, like an iceberg under the moonlight; but having passion without knowledge and discernment in love is like a wildfire in the dry season—fierce, but directionless, unable to tell right from wrong, even excusing error and sin.

耶稣不是圣诞老人。祂满有圣灵、鉴察人心肺腑、知道万人的心(徒1：24)。当祂擘饼喂饱四千、五千人的时候，就知道很多人来找祂，并不是想悔改、信祂、得永生，而是为吃饼得饱。Jesus isn’t a Santa Claus. He’s full of the Holy Spirit, searches every heart, and knows what’s inside each person (Acts 1:24). When He broke bread to feed the four and five thousand, He already knew that many came not to repent or believe for eternal life, but just to have their stomachs filled.当祂骑着驴驹进入耶路撒冷，众人高呼“和散那”时，祂也知道，很快这些人就要喊“钉祂十字架”。但耶稣仍然为罪人代求：“父啊，赦免他们，因为他们所做的，他们不晓得。”—这才是在知识和见识上的爱，不是糊里糊涂、出于肉体的爱。When He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and the crowd shouted “Hosanna,” He also knew that soon they’d cry out, “Crucify Him!” Yet Jesus still prayed for sinners: “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.” That’s love that comes with knowledge and discernment—not a fuzzy, flesh-driven love.

耶稣的“分别是非”，不是分辨善恶树的果子，而是出于神的智慧与启示，对人心最深的洞察。Jesus’ way of discerning right from wrong didn’t come from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but from God’s own wisdom and revelation—seeing right into the depths of the human heart.如今，这知识和各样见识上的爱，借着圣灵已经住在我们里面。需要我们祷告、丧掉自己，让这爱心不断增长，多而又多。Today, that same love, full of knowledge and discernment, lives in us through the Holy Spirit. We need to keep praying and dying to ourselves so that this love grows richer and deeper in us.

主啊，感谢你籍着保罗这样的祷告教导我们。我愿效法和跟随，不仅为自己，也为众圣徒祈求：求圣灵释放更深的光照和启示，尤其在福音兴旺、教会复兴的时候，Lord, thank You for the way You’ve taught us through Paul’s prayer. I want to follow that example—not just for myself, but for all Your people. Holy Spirit, release deeper light and revelation, especially when the gospel is spreading and the church is being renewed.让一切肉体的热心、一切属肉体的“好”，都被你光照出来，使我能认出那肉体所谓的“好”，背后隐藏的真“恶”。真看见并信我的肉体毫无良善，愿背起自己的十字架，让十字架死的恩典临到我身上，使我在环境中活出一个向肉体的“好”和“爱”死、向耶稣基督公义圣洁的真爱活的生命。Expose every bit of fleshly zeal and human “goodness” with Your light, so that I can see the real evil hiding behind what the flesh calls “good.” Help me truly see that nothing good lives in my flesh, and teach me to take up my cross, letting the grace of the cross’s death work in me. May I live a life that dies to the flesh’s “good” and “love,” but lives in the true love of Jesus Christ—holy and righteous.愿我做神眼中诚实无过的人，天天背起自己的十字架，服事都以神的爱心说诚实话，让圣灵的工作在我里面、外面都得以成就。里面爱心成长，外面福音兴旺，直到耶稣基督的日子。Make me sincere and blameless in Your sight, carrying my cross each day, serving and speaking truth in love, so that the Holy Spirit’s work is fulfilled both within me and around me—love growing within, and the gospel spreading outward—until the day of Jesus Christ.
