诠释圣经

“Interpretation”-understanding what the Bible means

“诠释”-如何理解《圣经》

Context is very important in understanding what a Bible verse means.

上下文对于理解圣经中的字句是非常重要的。

If we are going to understand correctly what a particular Bible verse means, we need to read not only the verse, but the entire chapter, and sometimes the entire book.

假如我们要正确地理解圣经中某一处字句的意思,我们不仅需要阅读该处的字句,而且还需要阅读该字句的整章经文,有时候甚至是阅读整本书卷。

Examples. . .例子:

We should try to learn what the original writer of a Bible verse was trying to say to the original reader.

我们应该尽量获悉,该处字句的原作者想对当初的第一读者表达什么样的意思。

When we study a portion of the Bible we should examine who wrote it, when, for what purpose, to what people.

当我们学习圣经的某处经文时,我们应该查考是谁写的,什么时候写的,出于什么样的目的,写给哪些人们。

Examples. . .例子:

SAYS=MEANS

言说=意义

We should assume that what a Bible verse says, it means.

我们应该假设某一节经文所言说的正是它的意思所在。

When we try to learn what the original writer meant, we have several ‘gaps’ to overcome. . .

当我们试着查考圣经原作者的本意时,我们需要超越一些‘差距’……

  1. Language 语言
  2. Culture 文化
  3. Spiritual 灵性的

See: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 ; 1 Corinthians 2:14

参考:林前1:18-25 ; 林前2:14

NO ONE CAN READ THE BIBLE WITH A ‘NEUTRAL’ ATTITUDE

没有一个人能够带着一种‘中立的’态度来阅读圣经

参考:约 5:39 ; 路 24:27 ; 林前 2:2

B. As Christians we read the Bible, believing that the Holy Spirit has INSPIRED every word in it.

B. 作为基督徒,我们阅读圣经,并且相信圣灵已经默示圣经的每一句话。

See: 2 Peter 1:21 ; Hebrews 1:1
