威斯敏斯特信條第13章
第十三章 論成聖
中文趙中輝版
一、凡蒙有效恩召而被重生的人,既在他們裡面創造新靈和新心,就更因基督的死與復活1,借著道並住在他們裡面的聖靈2,使他們個人實際成聖。罪身的權勢被毀壞3,屬乎肉身的各種情慾逐漸衰弱而被治死4,而且他們在一切得救之恩上越發活潑而得堅固5,以致得到實際的真聖潔,人非聖潔不能見主6。
二、此成聖之工雖是貫徹於整個人性之內7,但在今生不得完全。在每一部份之內仍有些腐敗性的殘餘存在8;因此(在信徒心中)常有繼續與不可和解的戰爭,情慾和聖靈相爭,聖靈和情慾相爭9。
三、在此戰爭中,那殘存的腐敗性雖一時甚占優勢10,然而那蒙神重生的部份,借著從基督成聖之靈所得不斷供應的能力,終必得勝11;如此聖徒在恩典中有長進12,敬畏神得以成聖13。

一.凡蒙有效恩召並重生的人,既在他們裡面有了新心和新靈被創造出 來,便借著基督的受死和復活(林前6:11;徒20:32;腓3:10;羅6:5,6),並祂那在他們裡面內住的 聖道和聖靈(約17:17;弗5:26 ;帖後2:13),進一步達到個人實際的成聖;罪在我們整個身上的權勢被除滅(羅6:6,14),此身的各種邪情私慾也逐漸被削弱、治死(加5:24;羅8:13),並且他們在一切與救恩相伴的美德上(西1:11;弗 3:16-19)越來越清醒、堅固,以致能夠行出真正的聖 潔來,因為人非聖潔就不能見主(林後7:1;來12:14)。
二. 這種成聖貫穿全人(帖5:23),但在今生仍不完 全;人的各個部分之中仍然存有某些敗壞的殘餘(約 壹1:10;羅7:18,23;腓3:12),從而,情慾與聖靈相爭,聖靈和情慾相爭,這種爭戰無法和解,持續一生(加5:17;彼前2:11)。
三. 在這一爭戰中,雖然敗壞的殘餘或許一時得勝(羅7:23),可是,靠著基督 那使人成聖的聖靈所不斷供給的力量,重生的部分終必得勝(羅6:14;約壹5:4;弗4:15,16);因此,聖徒會在恩典中長進(彼後3:18;林後3:18),因著敬畏上帝,得以逐漸成聖(林後7:1)。
中文呂沛淵版 第十三章 論成聖
13.1 凡蒙有效恩召而被重生的人,上帝既然在他們裡面創造新靈 和新心,就更因基督受死與復活的功勞,使他們個人真正成聖, 這是藉著聖道和聖靈住在他們裡面做成的。罪身的權勢全被滅 絕,肉體的各種邪情私慾越來越變衰弱、被治死;他們在一切救 贖恩典中越來越被甦醒、得堅固,以致行出真正的聖潔﹔人非聖 潔不能見主。
13.2 成聖是全人從裡到外的成為聖潔,但在今生的成聖是不會完
美的,在人裡面每一部分都還有殘餘的敗壞﹔因此在人裡面有持
續不斷、無法化解的爭戰,就是情慾和聖靈相爭,聖靈和情慾相
爭。
13.3 在這場爭戰中,那殘存的敗壞罪性雖然可能暫時甚佔優勢,但是基督的靈使人成聖,不斷加力量給那重生的生命,新人靠這力量必定得勝﹔所以聖徒在恩典中長進,敬畏上帝得以在聖潔上長進,漸臻完全。

CHAPTER 13 OF SANCTIFICATION
1. They, who are once effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, by his Word and Spirit dwelling in them: the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified; and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces, to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
2. This sanctification is throughout, in the whole man; yet imperfect in this life, there abiding still some remnants of corruption in every part; whence ariseth a continual and irreconcilable war, the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.
3. In which war, although the remaining corruption, for a time, may much prevail; yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part doth overcome; and so, the saints grow in grace, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Chapter XIII
Of Sanctification
I. They, who are once effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection,[1] by His Word and Spirit dwelling in them:[2] the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,[3] and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified;[4] and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces,[5] to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.[6]
II. This sanctification is throughout, in the whole man;[7] yet imperfect in this life, there abiding still some remnants of corruption in every part;[8] whence arises a continual and irreconcilable war, the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.[9]
III. In which war, although the remaining corruption, for a time, may much prevail;[10] yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part does overcome;[11] and so, the saints grow in grace,[12] perfecting holiness in the fear of God.[13]

[1] 1CO 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. ACT 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. PHI 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; ROM 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[2] JOH 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. EPH 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. 2TH 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
[3] ROM 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
[4] GAL 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. ROM 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
[5] COL 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. EPH 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
[6] 2CO 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. HEB 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
[7] 1TH 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[8] 1JO 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. ROM 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. PHI 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
[9] GAL 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 1PE 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
[10] ROM 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[11] ROM 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 1JO 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. EPH 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
[12] 2PE 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2CO 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
[13] 2CO 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
