經文:彼得前書一章20至25節
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:20–25
「既然你們因順從真理而潔淨了自己的心靈,能真誠愛弟兄,就該以清潔的心彼此切實相愛。」
“Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart.”
— 彼得前書一章22節
— 1 Peter 1:22
彼得前書第一章從神的揀選、基督的救贖、活潑的盼望與聖潔的呼召,最後走向一個具體而不能缺少的結果:一群因福音重生的人,必須成為彼此真誠相愛的群體。
First Peter chapter 1 moves from God’s election, Christ’s redemption, living hope, and the call to holiness toward a concrete and indispensable result: people reborn through the gospel must become a community that sincerely loves one another.
