威斯敏斯特信条第9章
第九章 论自由意志
中文赵中辉版
一、神把本性的自由赋予人的意志，这意志既不受强迫趋向善恶，也不受本性绝对的必然所决定的去行善或作恶1。
二、人在无罪的状态中，有自由与能力行善，并行神所喜悦的事2，但那所有性是可变的，所以他可能从那状态中堕落3。
三、人由于堕落在有罪的状态中，已经完全丧失一切行任何关乎得救的属灵善事之意志力4；所以他既是一属血气的人，与善完全相反5，又死在罪中6，就不能凭自己的能力去改变自己的心，或预备改变自己的心7。
四、当神使罪人改心并把他迁移至恩典状态中时，神就把他从罪恶本性的捆绑中解放出来8，并惟独借着他的恩典，使他有行属灵善事的意志与能力9；但因为他尚有残余的败坏，所以他既不完全，也不专一立志向善，他也立志向恶10。
五、惟独在荣耀状态中，人的意志才能有完全与不可改变的自由，以致向善11。

第九章 论 意志的自由
一．上帝造人，把自由赋予人的意志。这意志既不受强迫，不得不行善作恶，也不会因其本质而必然如此去行（太17:12；雅1:14； 申30:19）。
二．人处于无罪状态时，有自由和能力立志行事，得蒙上帝的悦纳（传7:29；创1:26）；但人本是可变的，所以他也可以从那状态中堕落（创2:16-17；3:6）。
三．因堕落在罪中，要行与得救相关的属灵的善事，人在意志上已经完全丧 失了这样的能力（罗5:6；8:7；约15:5）； 因此，他既是属乎血气的人，心中完全与善为敌（罗3:10，12），死在罪中（弗2:1，5；西2:13），所以，他无法靠他自己的力量归正，也不能预备自己归正（约6:44，65；林前 2:14；弗2:2－5；多3:3－5）。
四．当上帝使罪人归正，把他迁移到恩典中时，就将他从与生俱来的罪的捆 绑中释放出来（西1:13；约8:34，36）； 又惟独借着上帝的恩典，使他能够自由地立志并行属灵的善事（腓:2:13；罗6:18，22）；然而，因他身上仍有残余的败坏，所以，他既不完全，也不专一立志行善，还会定志行恶（加5:17；罗 7:15，18，19，21，23）。
五． 惟独在得荣的状态中，上帝使人的意志达于完全、不变的自由。那时，人的意志才能完全向善（弗4:13；来12:23；约壹3:2；犹24）。
中文吕沛渊版 第九章 论自由意志
9.1 上帝賦予人的意志有本性上的自由，選擇由自己，既不受外 力驅使向善或向惡，也沒有命中註定他絕對必然向善或向惡。
9.2 人在無罪的狀態中，有自由與能力立志行善，得上帝喜悅， 但人處於這狀態並非是不可變更的，所以可能從其中墮落。
9.3 人由於墮落在有罪的狀態中，已經完全喪失意志能力，來選 擇任何屬靈的良善，以致得救；所以他既是一個屬血氣的人，全 然敵對真實的良善，又死在罪中，就不能憑自己的能力去改變自 己，也無法預備自己來被改變。
9.4 當上帝使罪人歸正、並把他遷入恩典狀態裡時，祂釋放了 他，脫離了罪性的捆綁，並唯獨藉著上帝的恩典，使他能自由立 志且遵行屬靈上的善事﹔然而因為他還有殘餘的敗壞，所以立志 行善的心既不完全，也不專一；他也可能會立志行惡。
9.5 人的意志惟有在榮耀狀態中，才會成為「完全自由且永不改 變的唯獨向善」。

CHAPTER 9 OF FREE WILL
1. God hath endued the will of man with that natural liberty, that it is neither forced, nor, by any absolute necessity of nature, determined to good, or evil.
2. Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom, and power to will and to do that which was good and well pleasing to God; but yet, mutably, so that he might fall from it.
3. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation: so as, a natural man, being altogether averse from that good, and dead in sin, is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto.
4. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he freeth him from his natural bondage under sin; and, by his grace alone, enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good; yet so, as that by reason of his remaining corruption, he doth not perfectly, nor only, will that which is good, but doth also will that which is evil.
5. The will of man is made perfectly and immutably free to good alone, in the state of glory only.

第三节
4

林前 2:14 然而，属血气的人不领会 神圣灵的事，反倒以为愚拙，并且不能知道；因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透。
弗2:2-5 弗 2:2 那时，你们在其中行事为人，随从今世的风俗，顺服空中掌权者的首领，就是现今在悖逆之子心中运行的邪灵。 弗 2:3 我们从前也都在他们中间，放纵肉体的私欲，随着肉体和心中所喜好的去行，本为可怒之子，和别人一样。 弗 2:4 然而 神既有丰富的怜悯，因他爱我们的大爱， 弗 2:5 当我们死在过犯中的时候，便叫我们与基督一同活过来(你们得救是本乎恩)。
多3:3-5多 3:3 我们从前也是无知、悖逆、受迷惑，服事各样私欲和宴乐，常存恶毒(或作“阴毒”)嫉妒的心，是可恨的，又是彼此相恨。 多 3:4 但到了 神我们救主的恩慈和他向人所施的慈爱显明的时候， 多 3:5 他便救了我们，并不是因我们自己所行的义，乃是照他的怜悯，藉着重生的洗和圣灵的更新。

罗6:18,22 罗 6:18 你们既从罪里得了释放，就作了义的奴仆。罗 6:22 但现今你们既从罪里得了释放，作了 神的奴仆，就有成圣的果子，那结局就是永生。
10
加 5:17 因为情欲和圣灵相争，圣灵和情欲相争，这两个是彼此相敌，使你们不能作所愿意作的。
罗7:15,18,19,21,23 罗 7:15 因为我所作的，我自己不明白；我所愿意的，我并不作；我所恨恶的，我倒去作。罗 7:18 我也知道在我里头，就是我肉体之中，没有良善；因为立志为善由得我，只是行出来由不得我。 罗 7:19 故此，我所愿意的善，我反不作；我所不愿意的恶，我倒去作。罗 7:21 我觉得有个律，就是我愿意为善的时候，便有恶与我同在。 罗 7:23 但我觉得肢体中另有个律和我心中的律交战，把我掳去，叫我附从那肢体中犯罪的律。
第五节
弗 4:13 直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一，认识 神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量；

[1] MAT 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. JAM 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. DEU 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.
[2] ECC 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. GEN 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[3] GEN 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
[4] ROM 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. JOH 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
[5] ROM 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
[6] EPH 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). COL 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.
[7] JOH 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. EPH 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;). 1CO 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. TIT 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
[8] COL 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. JOH 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
[9] PHI 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. ROM 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
[10] 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. ROM 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 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. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 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] EPH 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. HEB 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. 1JO 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. JUD 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.
