重读林后5:21

October 27, 2025 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 义, 林前5:9-21, 罗6:10-12, 过义的生活
大多数福音派都熟悉《哥林多后书》5章21节。这节经文说,基督为我们被“成为有罪的”,好叫我们在祂里面成为神的义。对这节经文最常见的理解是:当一个人相信耶稣时,他所有的罪都归在基督身上,而基督的义则归给他。信徒之所以在神面前被看为完全公义,是因为他领受了基督的义。 几年前,一位博士生给我发了封邮件,询问我是否愿意阅读他的论文。他的论文主题是《哥林多后书》5章21节,他为那种普遍的解释辩护。这促使我更加仔细地审视这节经文的上下文。我并不打算在此讨论那种传统的解释,而是想提出另一种理解这节经文的方式。这或许会挑战一些读者,去从不同的角度来看待这节经文。 对《哥林多后书》5章21节的一般理解是传福音式的——人们认为这节经文描述的是人在信主那一刻所发生的事。但是,当我仔细查看上下文时,我发现保罗其实是在对信徒说,告诉他们该如何生活。换句话说,这段经文的语境讲的是成圣,而不是最初的永恒救赎。所以,传统的解释似乎与上下文不太吻合。 在《哥林多后书》5章21节的前后,基督徒生活的主题都非常明显。在5章9至10节中,保罗说,他在当前的事奉中立志要讨主喜悦,因为他也会出现在基督的审判台前。他确实谈到基督的死,但并不是从永恒救恩的角度来说的。保罗指出,基督的死教会我们该如何生活(5:14-15)。而这样的生活之所以可能,是因为在基督里,有了一个新造的人(5:17)。 我认为在14至15节中关于基督之死的讨论非常重要。如果14至15节提到的基督之死是用来说明基督徒的生活,那么,为什么我们会自动假设它是在描述人信主那一刻在地位上所发生的事情呢? 在5章21节之后,保罗继续谈到过义生活的主题。他鼓励哥林多的信徒回应他的教导和榜样,然后又描述了他自己和同工们是如何努力行走在信仰之路上的(6:1-10)。 那么,5章21节中的“义”这个词,是否指信徒在信主那一刻所领受的基督完美的义呢?这个词在《哥林多后书》中另外出现了六次(3:9;6:7, 14;9:9, 10;11:15),而每一次都与信徒在生活中活出义有关。 因此,我在想,我们是否应该重新思考5章21节的主题——它会不会其实是在讲基督徒的生活?在《罗马书》6章10至12节中,保罗说基督向罪的权势死了,而信徒也向罪死了,并且应当把这看作真实的属灵状态。这样,信徒不再需要作罪的奴仆,而是可以活出义的生活。 那5章21节是否也在表达同样的意思呢?在十字架上,基督担当了世人的罪,为信祂的人打破了罪的权势。那些信靠祂的人,如今就能在祂里面成为神的义。这里的希腊词“成为”用法灵活,含义广泛,也可以带出“产生”的意思。 结合“义”这个词在《哥林多后书》中的用法,以及第5章的语境,我们有充分理由认为,5章21节讲的是信徒为什么能活出义的生活。我认为,这样的理解比传统的对保罗这段内容的诠释更有说服力。我不确定我的看法是否能说服别人,但我希望至少能让一些人愿意从这个角度重新思考这节经文。

Barak (Not the President) Was a Sissy

October 24, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Barak, Deborah, Heb 11:32, Judges 4, rewards
In Judges 4, we read the account of a military leader named Barak. Our recent president spells his name differently. I assume he wasn’t named after the Biblical character.  If we only consider how Barak starts off, I wouldn’t want to be named after him, either. Deborah, a judge in Israel, is a mother. She

Пересмотр 2 Коринфянам 5:21

October 22, 2025 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - 2 Кор 5:9-21, Праведная жизнь, Праведность, Рим 6:10-12
Большинство евангельских христиан знакомы с 2 Кор 5:21. Этот стих говорит, что Христос стал грехом, чтобы в Нем мы стали праведностью Бога [см. Подстрочник Винокурова]. Наиболее частое понимание этого стиха заключается в том, что когда человек верит в Иисуса, все его грехи помещаются на Христа, а ему дается праведность Христа. Верующий абсолютно праведен, потому что

Theological Addiction 

October 22, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Cor 3:10–15, 25:20–28, Judgment Seat, Luke 19:12–26, Mark 10:37–40, Matt 5:12, Rev 22:12, rewards, Rom 8:17
All of us have blind spots. These are characteristics that we can ignore or are simply unable to see. Fortunately, these usually do not have a dramatic impact on our lives. But with an addict, that is not the case.  I saw an interview with a 30-year-old man. He weighed over 600 pounds and was

2 Corintios 5:21 reconsiderado

October 21, 2025 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita
La mayoría de los evangélicos están familiarizados con 2 Corintios 5:21. El versículo dice que Cristo fue hecho pecado para que nosotros fuésemos hechos justicia de Dios en Él. La manera más común de entender este versículo es que, cuando una persona cree en Jesús, todos sus pecados son puestos sobre Cristo y la justicia

Isang Bagong Konsiderasyon Sa 2 Corinto 5:21

October 21, 2025 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Maraming Evangeliko ang pamilyar sa 2 Cor 5:21. Sinabi ng sitas na si Cristo ay ginawang kasalanan upang tayo ay maging katuwiran ng Diyos sa Kaniya. Ang pinakamadalas na pagkaunawa ng sitas ay kapag ang tao ay nanampalataya kay Jesus, lahat niyang kasalanan ay nilagay kay Jesus, at ang katuwiran ni Cristo ay binigay sa

Una riconsiderazione di 2 Corinzi 5:21

October 21, 2025 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - 2 Co 5:9-21, Giustizia, Ro 6:10-12, Vita retta
La maggior parte degli evangelici conosce bene 2 Co 5:21. Il versetto dice che Cristo è stato fatto peccato affinché noi potessimo diventare giustizia di Dio in lui. Il modo più comune di interpretare questo versetto è che quando si crede in Gesù, tutti i peccati vengono posti su Cristo e si riceve la giustizia

Jakiś czas temu widziałem plakat z zegarkiem Apple Watch. Nie była to reklama. Pokazano na nim różne małe elementy zegarka wraz z cytatem założyciela firmy Apple, Steve’a Jobsa. Powiedział on: „Jesteśmy tutaj, aby wywrzeć wpływ na wszechświat. Bo po co inaczej mielibyśmy tu być?”. Nie wiem, czy Steve Jobs wypowiedział te słowa, gdy rozpoczęła się

The Fall of Satan? (Luke 10:18) 

October 20, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - demons, fall of Satan, Luke 10:9–20, Rev 9:1–6
In Luke 10, the Lord sends seventy men out to announce that He is the Christ and is offering the kingdom of God to that generation of Jews. To prove that their message was true, the Lord said they would be able to heal the sick (10:9).  When the seventy returned from their preaching tour,

Scholarly Confusion 

October 16, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Faith, Isaiah 53:11, John 20:30-31, John 5:24, Justified
I recently read a comment by an Evangelical scholar who specializes in the OT. He is an expert in Hebrew. He was dealing with Isa 53:11, where Isaiah says that through the knowledge of Christ, the Servant of God, many will be justified. Here is what this scholar said:  There are two Hebrew words for
