属天的奥秘 第342节

(一滴水译,2018-2023)

342、该教会的第二个孩子,或次生的,是仁,这从以下事实清楚可知:教会只孕育并生产信与仁。雅各与利亚所生的长子具有同样的含义;流便表示信;西缅表示行为中的信;利未表示仁(创世记29:32-34)。这也是为何利未支派担任祭司职分,并成为牧羊者的代表。仁是教会的第二个孩子,或次生的,故被称为“兄弟”,名为“亚伯”。

[NCE]342. The fact that the church's second-born is charity can be seen from the things that the church conceives and gives birth to: nothing but faith and charity. The first children Leah bore to Jacob have the same symbolism: Reuben symbolizes faith; Simeon, faith in action; and Levi, charity (Genesis 29:32-33, 34). This is also why the tribe of Levi became the priests and represented a shepherd of the flock.
As charity is the church's second-born, it is called a brother and is named Abel.

Potts(1905-1910) 342

342. That the second offspring of the church is charity, is evident from the fact that the church conceives and brings forth nothing else than faith and charity. The same is signified by the first children of Leah from Jacob; "Reuben" denoting faith; "Simeon" faith in act; and "Levi" charity (Gen. 29:32, 33, 34), wherefore also the tribe of Levi received the priesthood, and represented the "shepherd of the flock." As charity is the second offspring of the church, it is called "brother" and is named "Abel."

Elliott(1983-1999) 342

342. That the second born of the Church is charity becomes clear from the things which the Church conceives and gives birth to, which are nothing other than faith and charity. The first of those born to Leah by Jacob had a similar meaning. Reuben meant faith; Simeon, faith expressed in action; Levi, charity, Gen 29:32-34. This also was why the tribe of Levi assumed the function of the priesthood and became representative of the shepherd of the flock. Being the second born of the Church, charity is referred to as 'a brother. and is called 'Abel'.

Latin(1748-1756) 342

342. Quod alter partus Ecclesiae sit charitas, constare potest ex illis quae Ecclesia concipit et parit, quae non aliud sunt quam fides et charitas: similia significata sunt per primos partus Leae ex Jacobo, per 'Reuben' fides, per 'Simeon' fides actu, per 'Levi' charitas, Gen. xxix 32-34; quare etiam tribus Levi sacerdotium accepit, et pastorem gregis repraesentavit: charitas, quia est alter partus Ecclesiae, vocatur 'frater,' et nominatur 'Habel.'
