经文

《以弗所书》5 章5 节至6 节：

　　因为你们确实的知道，无论是淫乱的，是污秽的，是有贪心的，在基督和神的国里都是无分的。有贪心的，就与拜偶像的一样。不要被人虚浮的话欺哄，因这些事，神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。

注解

司布真

　　以有罪的为无罪是对无辜者的惩罚。想想如果盗贼做了坏事却不受罚，那么所有在伦敦的诚实人将要承受怎样的伤害和不公。如果以有罪的为无罪，那将使无辜的人受苦。因此，不是出于主观，而是出于公义的要求，神必须刑罚做了错事的我们。

默想

阿利斯泰·贝格

　　当保罗在腓力斯与土西拉的面前讲道时，祂实际上讲了三点：公义、节制、将来的审判。（参见徒24）腓力斯和土西拉的奸情并没有阻止保罗清楚地传讲神的公义，这可以说是祂传道的标志。在雅典，祂用类似的内容结束在雅典的讲道：「因为祂已经定了日子，要藉着祂所设立的人按公义审判天下」（徒17:31）。其实罪恶的事每天都在上演，大家都以为可以逍遥法外。但圣经说得很清楚，将会有审查、定罪和永远的刑罚，会有清算的日子。

　　那种认为神很仁慈，不会定罪，到最后每个人都会升天，皆大欢喜的想法，我们在圣经中找不到依据。反而保罗在《以弗所书》5 章警戒我们，警戒那些表面对耶稣有信心的人：不可以听从在保罗/ 圣经之外的其他教导，那一天会来，日期已定，那天会显明一切的公平正义，那日的判决将是终极性的审判。

祷告

　　公义的主，我们若认为自己是良善的，便是自欺。祢的忿怒是我们应得的。我们违背了祢的命令，没有全心、全意、全力地爱祢。我们只能恳求基督的义，祂担当了我们的刑罚。阿们。

Scripture

EPHESIANS 5:5–6

For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Commentary

CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON

Not to punish the guilty were to exact the penalty of suffering from the innocent. Think what an injury and injustice would be inflicted upon all the honest men in London if the thieves were never punished for their roguery. It would be making the innocent suffer if you al- lowed the guilty to escape. God, therefore, not out of arbitrary choice, but from very necessity of rightness, must punish us for having done wrong.

Devotional

ALISTAIR BEGG

When Paul preached before Felix and Drusilla, he essentially had three points—righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come (Acts 24). The fact that Felix and Drusilla were in an adulterous relationship did not prevent Paul from speaking very clearly about the justice of God. It was, if you like, almost a hallmark of his preaching. At the end of his address in Athens he says the same thing: “[God] has fixed a day on which he will judge the world” (Acts 17:31). The Bible makes it clear that we won’t escape detection or conviction or sentence forever. There is going to be a payday.

The idea that God is too kind ever to condemn sin and that everyone in the end will go to heaven does not actually find a basis in the Bible itself. Paul’s warning in Ephesians 5 is to those who have professed faith in Jesus, so that they will not pay attention to those who suggest other than what he’s teaching them, namely, that this day will come—a day that is fixed, a day that will be absolutely fair, and a day when the judgment rendered will be absolutely final.

Prayer

Righteous Lord, if we think that we are good, we deceive ourselves. We deserve your wrath. We have broken your commands, and we have not loved you with our whole hearts, minds, and strength. We can only plead the righteousness of Christ and ask you to let our punishment fall on him. Amen.
