創世記 3

Studie

   

1 耶和華所造的,惟有比田野一切的活物更狡猾。女人豈是真不許你們園中所有上的果子麼?

2 女人:園中上的果子,我們可以

3 惟有園當中那棵上的果子,:你們不可,也不可摸,免得你們

4 女人:你們不一定

5 因為知道,你們的日子眼睛就明亮了,你們便如知道善惡。

6 於是女人見那棵的果子作食物,也悅人的眼目,且是可喜愛的,能使人有智慧,就摘下果子來吃了,又丈夫,他丈夫吃了

7 他們人的眼睛就明亮了,才知道自己是赤身露體,便拿無花果樹子為自己編作裙子。

8 起了涼耶和華在園中行走。那人和他妻子的聲音,就藏在園裡的樹木中,躲避耶和華的面。

9 耶和華呼喚那人,對他:你在那裡?

10 :我在園中見你的聲音,我就害怕;因為我赤身露體,我便藏了。

11 耶和華:誰告訴你赤身露體呢?莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可的那上的果子嗎?

12 那人:你所賜我與我同居的女人,他把那上的果子我,我就吃了

13 耶和華女人:你作的是甚麼事呢?女人:那引誘我,我就吃了

14 耶和華:你既作了這事,就必受咒詛,比一切的牲畜野獸更甚。你必用肚子行走,終身土。

15 我又要叫你和女人彼此為仇;你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此為仇。女人的後裔要傷你的;你要傷他的腳跟

16 又對女人:我必多多加增你懷胎的苦楚;你生產兒女必多受苦楚。你必戀慕你丈夫;你丈夫必管轄你。

17 又對亞當:你既聽從妻子的話,吃了我所吩咐你不可的那上的果子,地必為你的緣故受咒詛;你必終身勞苦才能從地裡得的。

18 地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來;你也要田間的菜蔬。

19 你必汗流滿面才得糊口,直到你歸了土,因為你是從土而出的。你本是塵土,仍要歸於塵土。

20 亞當給他妻子起名夏娃,因為他是眾生之母。

21 耶和華為亞當和他妻子子作衣服給他們穿。

22 耶和華:那人已經與我們相似,能知道善惡;現在恐怕他伸又摘生命的果子,就永遠活著。

23 耶和華便打發他出伊甸園去,耕種他所自出之土。

24 於是把他趕出去了;又在伊甸園的東邊安設基路伯和四面動發火燄的,要把守生命道路

26. The "likeness of God," after which man was made, is that he is able to live, that is, to will, to love, and to intend, as also to think, reflect and choose, to all appearance as of himself; consequently, that he is able to receive from God those things which are of love and those which are of wisdom, and to reproduce them in an image, as God does, of himself; for God says:

Behold the man was as one of us, in knowing good and evil (Gen. 3:22);

for, without the faculty of receiving and reproducing those things which proceed into him from God, to all appearance as of himself, man would be no more a "living soul" than the oyster in its shell at the bottom of the river, which is not in the least able to move itself out of its place: nor would he be any more an "image of God" than a jointed carving of a man capable of motion by means of a handle, and of giving forth sound by being blown into; yea, the very mind of man, which is the same as his spirit, would actually be wind, air, or ether, according to the idea of the present Church respecting spirit; for, without the faculty of receiving and reproducing the things flowing in from God, altogether as of himself, he would not have anything of his own, or any proprium, except an imperceptible one, which is like the proprium of a lifeless carving. But more about the image and likeness of God with man may be seen in a memorable relation in the preceding work (n. True Christian Religion 48), of which this is the Appendix.
