【诗5:4】因为你不是喜悦恶事的　神，恶人不能与你同居。【Psalm5:4】For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.

谁是恶人？是那些杀人、放火、抢劫、强奸犯吗？我没有做这些事，以人的标准，我还算是一个好人吧？Who are the wicked? Are they those who murder, commit arson, rob, or rape? I have not done such things. By human standards, would I not be considered a good person?

神说，世人都犯了罪，都亏缺了神的荣耀…没有义人，连一个也没有；没有明白的，没有寻求　神的；都是偏离正路，一同变为无用。没有行善的，连一个也没有。（罗3:10，23）As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,(Romans3:10-12,23 )

惟有神的话是真理。我没有杀人抢劫是因为我没有出生在那样的家庭、没有成长在那个环境里，并不意味着我比别人好。Only the word of God is truth. The reason I have not murdered or robbed is not because I am better than others, but because I was not born into such a family nor raised in such an environment. That does not mean I am any better than anyone else. 我跟所有人一样，里面都住着一个行恶事的旧人，就是神说的充满罪性的恶人。Like all people, there lives within me an old self inclined to evil—the sinful nature God speaks of, a wickedness rooted in sin itself.

神爱世人，为要把我们从这罪性之中拯救出来，耶稣选择来到世间，担当我们的罪，为我们死在十字架上，使我们罪得赦免，God so loved the world that He desired to rescue us from this sinful nature. Jesus chose to come into the world, to bear our sins and to die for us on the cross, so that our sins might be forgiven. 因我们里面这作恶的本性，神又赐下圣灵住在我们里面，光照、引导、纠正我们，使我们可以胜过这罪性！Because of the evil nature that still dwells within us, God has also given us the Holy Spirit to live in us—to enlighten us, guide us, and correct us, so that we may overcome this sinful nature. 这是神爱罪人的极致彰显。耶稣上十字架，表明神虽爱、怜悯罪人，但喜爱公义，恨恶罪恶，圣洁的标准从未降低。This is the fullest expression of God’s love for sinners. The cross of Christ declares that although God loves and shows mercy to sinners, He delights in righteousness and hates evil; His standard of holiness has never been lowered.

主啊，什么时候不警醒，没有住在主里，什么时候我就被恶性所胜。Lord, whenever I am not watchful, whenever I do not abide in You,

I am overcome by my sinful nature. 赦免我，常常低估罪性的力量，一次次试探你，也一次次向罪妥协，为自己的罪辩解讲理由，Forgive me for so often underestimating the power of sin—for testing You again and again, for yielding to temptation, for making excuses to justify my sin. 然而顺从罪，放纵罪，必要承受罪的后果，不仅被仇敌欺压，受苦，更与神你隔绝。Yet to obey sin and indulge it is to bear its consequences: to be oppressed by the enemy, to suffer, and to be separated from You, my God. 主，当我悔改转向你，你赦免我的罪，我仍然需要凭着信心，靠你的能力，自己付上代价去与罪恶争战，与旧人和旧人的恶念，恶行争战，攻破里面的坚固营垒，直到让耶稣的圣洁公义的生命在我里面掌权！Lord, when I repent and turn back to You, You forgive my sins; yet I must still, by faith and by Your power, pay the cost to wage war against sin—to fight against the old self, its evil thoughts and evil deeds, to tear down the strongholds within me, until the holy and righteous life of Jesus reigns and rules within me.

主啊，我赞美你的公义圣洁，感谢你的命令让我要圣洁，是因着爱。Lord, I praise You for Your righteousness and holiness. I thank You that Your command for me to be holy flows from Your love. 胜过罪，不是靠自己的克制和挣扎，唯有靠着圣灵，与得胜的救主连接，顺服真理，向罪说"不"，拒绝抵挡仇敌的谎言，不再妥协，不再为罪讲理由。Victory over sin does not come through my own restraint or striving, but only by the Holy Spirit—by being united with the victorious Saviour, by submitting to the truth, by saying “no” to sin, by rejecting and resisting the lies of the enemy, no longer compromising, no longer making excuses for sin. 主啊，帮助我受苦之后，更加恨恶罪恶，敬畏你，每早晨起来呼求你，亲近你，默想你的话，住在主里，警醒守好自己的心门，Lord, help me, after suffering, to hate sin all the more and to fear You with a reverent heart. Teach me to call upon You each morning, to draw near to You, to meditate on Your word, to abide in You, to stay watchful and guard the door of my heart. 脱离罪的捆绑，能够与主同去，释放更多被掳的灵魂，让主爱发出圣洁公义之光芒，让更多人见证十字架拯救的大能！Set me free from the bondage of sin, that I may go with You to release more captive souls, so that Your love may shine forth with holy and righteous light, and that many may witness the saving power of the cross.
