7050. 这三节经文含有奥秘, 若没有内义, 没有人能知道, 这一点从其中的每个细节明显看出来. 谁能知道耶和华在吩咐摩西去埃及后不久遇见他, 当摩西在路上时, 耶和华就想要杀他是什么意思呢? 谁又能知道西坡拉割下儿子的阳皮, 使它接触摩西的脚, 并对摩西说, 他是她的血新郎了, 接着又说, 他因着割礼而是血新郎了, 是什么意思呢? 谁看不出这些细节含有奥秘在里面, 并且这些奥秘若不藉着内义, 绝无可能为人所知?

The word "righteous" has taken on a bit of negative shading in modern language. That may be because we hear it most often as part of the word "self-righteous," a rather scathing term for someone who thinks he is quite a good person -- almost certainly better than anyone around him -- and is in a position to judge others without being judged himself. The original word, however, is not negative at all: A righteous person is simply someone who does what is right. The spiritual meaning of "righteous" reflects that: people described as "righteous" act from a love of serving others, and that love is "righteousness." This is commonly described as "the good of charity," "charity" meaning a state of caring for others.
