第十五章 論悔改得生
中文趙中輝版
第十五章 論得生命的悔改
一、得生命的悔改乃是一種福音的恩惠1。所以凡傳福音的人，不單傳相信基督的道理，也應傳悔改的道理2。
二、罪人借着悔改，不但看見又覺悟到自己的罪與神的聖性和義律相違反的危險，而且也看到又覺悟到自己罪的污穢可憎，罪人既明白神在基督里向悔改之人所顯的恩慈，就為自己的罪憂傷而恨自己的罪，以致轉離一切罪惡歸向神3，又立志竭力在神所有的誡命中與他同行4。
三、悔改雖然不能算作對罪的償還，或得赦免的主因5，因為罪得赦免乃是神在基督裏白白的恩典6；但悔改對所有的罪人是必要的，因為沒有悔改，人不能得赦免7。
四、小罪不能因其小，而不被定罪8；大罪不能因其大，而令真心悔改之人沉淪9。
五、人不應該以概括的悔改為滿足，竭力為自己特殊的罪而特別悔改乃人人的本份10。
六、人人都當向神私自認罪，祈求赦免11，由此，並由於離棄罪惡，他就必蒙憐憫12；所以得罪弟兄，或基督教會的人，就當借着私自或公開的認罪並為罪憂傷，甘心向那受觸犯的人表示悔改13；於是那受觸犯者，就當與他和好，且以愛心接待他14。

第十五章 論悔改得生
一．悔改得生乃是一 種使人得救的美德（亞12:10；徒11:18）。 所以凡傳福音的人，不但要傳信基督的道理，也要傳悔改的教義（路24:47；可1:15；徒20:21）。
二．罪人借着悔改不僅意識到自己的罪的危險性，也意識到自己的罪是污穢 可憎的，並且是與上帝聖潔的本性和公義的律法相悖的；而且，罪人一旦領悟到上帝在基督里對悔改之人的憐憫，便為自己的罪惡憂傷，恨惡己罪，以致於離棄一切 罪惡，歸向上帝（結18:30-31；36:31； 賽30:22；詩51:4；耶31:18-19；珥2:12-13；摩5:15；詩119:128；林後7:11），定意努力按照上帝的一切誡命與祂同行（詩119:6，59，106； 路1:6；王下23:25）。
三．雖然不當把悔改視為對罪的補償，也不能把悔改視為赦罪的緣由（結36:31－32；16:61－63），因這是出於上帝在基督裏白白賜予的恩典（何14:2，4；羅3:24； 弗1:7）；但是，對於眾罪人而言，悔改乃是必不可少的， 罪人若不悔改，就不要期望罪得赦免（路13:3，5；徒17:30－31）。
四．小罪不能因其小，而不該被定罪（羅6:23；5:12；太 12:36）；同樣，大罪不能因其大，而使真心悔改之人沉 淪（賽55:7； 羅8:1；賽1:16，18）。
五．人不應滿足於一般性的悔改，針對每一件具體的罪而努力悔改，乃是人人當盡的本分（詩19:13；路19:8；提前1:13，15）。
六． 人人當向上帝私自認罪，祈求赦免（詩51:4，5，7，9，14；32:5，6），這樣，便可藉此並因着離棄其罪惡而得蒙憐憫（箴28:13；約壹1:9）；照樣，凡誹謗弟兄或基督教會的，應當自願地私下或公開認罪，並為此罪憂傷，向那被冒犯的人表明悔改（雅5:16；路 17:3－4；書7:19；詩51），如是後者便應與之和 好，並用愛心接納他（林後2:8）。
中文呂沛淵版 第十五章 論悔改得生命
15.1 悔改得生命，是福音使人得救的恩典，所以每位福音使者不 但要傳講信靠基督的道理，也要傳講悔改得生命的教義。
15.2罪人藉着得生的悔改，看到感受到自己犯罪的危險，更看到感受到他的罪何等污穢可憎 ，因為違背上帝的神聖本性和公義的律法；他認識上帝在基督裏向悔改之人所顯的恩慈，就 為自己的罪憂傷且恨惡己罪，以致轉離一切罪惡，歸向上帝，定意竭力按照上帝一切誡命所 吩咐的，與上帝同行。
15.3我們一點也不能倚靠悔改作為對罪過的補償，也絲毫不可將悔改當作是罪蒙赦免的理由，因為赦罪乃是上帝在基督裏白白恩典的作為。然而，悔改對所有罪人而言，都是絕對必須的，若不悔改，就別想得赦免。
15.4 沒有一個罪太小，以致不必被定罪﹔照樣，也沒有一個罪太 大，能使真心悔改的人仍然沉淪。
15.5 人不應該滿足於籠統的悔改；人人都有責任，針對自己每一 特別的罪，竭力具體悔改
15.6人人都應該為己罪向上帝私自認罪，祈求赦免；人若藉着認罪並且離棄罪惡，就必蒙憐 恤﹔所以凡是得罪弟兄或基督教會的人，應該願意私下或公開認罪，為罪憂傷，向那被他干 犯的人表明悔改﹔然後那被干犯者就應當與他和好，以愛心接納他。

CHAPTER 15 OF REPENTANCE UNTO LIFE
1. Repentance unto life is an evangelical grace, the doctrine whereof is to be preached by every minister of the gospel, as well as that of faith in Christ.
2. By it, a sinner, out of the sight and sense not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, as contrary to the holy nature, and righteous law of God; and upon the apprehension of his mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, so grieves for, and hates his sins, as to turn from them all unto God, purposing and endeavoring to walk with him in all the ways of his commandments.
3. Although repentance be not to be rested in, as any satisfaction for sin, or any cause of the pardon thereof, which is the act of God's free grace in Christ; yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may expect pardon without it.
4. As there is no sin so small, but it deserves damnation; so there is no sin so great, that it can bring damnation upon those who truly repent.
5. Men ought not to content themselves with a general repentance, but it is every man's duty to endeavor to repent of his particular sins, particularly.
6. As every man is bound to make private confession of his sins to God, praying for the pardon thereof; upon which, and the forsaking of them, he shall find mercy; so, he that scandalizeth his brother, or the church of Christ, ought to be willing, by a private or public confession, and sorrow for his sin, to declare his repentance to those that are offended, who are thereupon to be reconciled to him, and in love to receive him.

[1] ZEC 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. ACT 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
[2] LUK 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. MAR 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. ACT 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
[3] EZE 18:30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 36:31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. ISA 30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. PSA 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. JER 31:18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. 19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. JOE 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. AMO 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. PSA 119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 2CO 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
[4] PSA 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. LUK 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 2KI 23:25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
[5] EZE 36:31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. EZE 16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. 62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: 63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
[6] HOS 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. 4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. ROM 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. EPH 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
[7] LUK 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. ACT 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
[8] ROM 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. ROM 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. MAT 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
[9] ISA 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ROM 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ISA 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
[10] PSA 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. LUK 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 1TI 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
[11] PSA 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. PSA 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
[12] PRO 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 1JO 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[13] JAM 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. LUK 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. JOS 7:19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. (PSA 51 throughout)
Psalm 51 {To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.} 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
[14] 2CO 2:8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
