肆 当我们在“这世界的世代”中，给真理作见证，我们是与得胜的基督是一，争战敌挡魔鬼撒但，说谎者的父，“这世界的王”，“这世代的神”，他“弄瞎了……不信者的心思”─弗二2，约八44，十二31，林后四4：
IV. When we testify to the truth in "the age of this world," we are one with the victorious Christ in fighting against Satan, the devil, the father of lies, "the ruler of this world," "the god of this age" who "has blinded the thoughts of the unbelievers"—Eph. 2:2; John 8:44; 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4:
一 魔鬼的本性是虚谎，并且带来死亡和黑暗；有黑暗就有虚谎，虚谎与真理相对─约八44：

3 神圣的真理是神圣之光的彰显；照样，撒但的谎话乃是撒但黑暗的彰显─约八12、44。
3. As the divine truth is the expression of the divine light, so the satanic lie is the expression of the satanic darkness—John 8:12, 44.
二 “这世代的神”乃是那迷惑者撒但，现今世代的管辖者；他统治着今天的世界，弄瞎不信者的思想和心思，猎取人的敬拜─林后四4：
B. "The god of this age" is Satan, the deceiver, the ruler of this present age; he dominates today's world and hunts for man's worship by blinding the thoughts, the minds, of the unbelievers—2 Cor. 4:4:
1 林后四章四节的“弄瞎”，意思是蒙蔽人的悟性。
1. Blinded in 2 Corinthians 4:4 means to veil a person's understanding.
2 这节的“心思〔直译，思想〕”，意指心思的悟性。
2. Thoughts in this verse denotes the understanding of the mind.
三 “整个世界都卧在那恶者里面”─约壹五19下：
C. "The whole world lies in the evil one"—1 John 5:19b:
1 整个撒但的世界系统，和世界上的人，就是堕落的人类，被动地卧在那恶者撒但霸占并操纵的手下。
1. The entire satanic world system and the people of the world, the fallen human race, are lying passively under the usurping and manipulating hand of Satan, the evil one.
2 在原文里“那恶者”乃是指致命、有害的邪恶，影响别人成为邪恶的；这样的恶者，就是整个世界都卧在他里面的魔鬼撒但─19节下。
2. In Greek the evil one refers to one who is pernicious, harmfully evil, one who influences others to be evil; this evil one is Satan, the devil, in whom the whole world lies—v. 19b.
3 当主的肉体被钉十字架，而把世界的王撒但赶出去，这邪恶的体系，黑暗的国度，也就受了审判─约十二31，十四30，十六11。
3. This evil system, the kingdom of darkness, was judged when its ruler, Satan, was cast out by the Lord's crucifixion in the flesh—John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11.
四 以弗所二章二节里的“这世界”，指由许多世代所组成的撒但系统：─引用经文
D. This world in Ephesians 2:2 refers to the satanic system, which is composed of many ages:
1 一个世代是指世界这撒但系统的一部分。
1. An age is a part of the world, the satanic system.
2 以弗所二章二节的“世代”是指撒但系统现今时髦的表现，为撒但所利用，篡夺并霸占人，使人远离神和神的定旨。─引用经文

3. The present evil age in Galatians 1:4 refers to the religious world, the religious course of the world.
五 我们若要在现今的世代中给真理作见证，就必须顺从保罗在罗马十二章二节的嘱咐：“不要模仿这世代，反要借着心思的更新而变化”：─引用经文
E. If we want to testify to the truth in the present age, we must obey Paul's command in Romans 12:2: "Do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind":
1 模仿这世代，就是采取既非从我们重生之神儿女里面而出，也非我们内里之人代表的外在彰显─约一12～13。
1. To be fashioned, conformed, is to assume an outward expression that does not come from within us nor is representative of our inner being as a regenerated child of God—John 1:12-13.
2 我们不要被这世代同化，使我们这些从世界被圣别归神的人，又变成和这世代同形状。
2. We should not be assimilated by the world to the extent that we who have been separated from the world unto God have the same image as this age.
3 我们需要在心思的灵里得以更新，让调和的灵扩展到我们的心思，而成了心思的灵，使我们的心思、情感和意志，因着有新的元素作到我们这人里面，而得以更新─弗四23，林前六17，罗十二2。
3. We need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind, allowing the mingled spirit to spread into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of the mind and causing our mind, emotion, and will to be renewed by a new element being wrought into our inner being—Eph. 4:23; 1 Cor. 6:17; Rom. 12:2.
六 “所以要站住，用真理束你们的腰”；用真理束腰是要加强我们全人─弗六14上。
F. "Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth"; being girded with the truth is for the strengthening of our entire being—Eph. 6:14a.
七 我们能给神圣的真理作见证，因为我们借着与那位真实的成为一，而认识真理─约壹五20：
G. We can testify to the divine truth because we know the truth by being in the true One—1 John 5:20:
1 神的儿子主耶稣已经来到，且将悟性赐给我们，使我们可以认识那位真正、实际的神─约一14、18，约壹五20。
1. The Lord Jesus, the Son of God, has come and has given us an under-standing that we might know the genuine and real God—John 1:14, 18; 1 John 5:20.
2 约壹五章二十节两次说到“那位真实的”，那真实者，那真实：─引用经文
2. First John 5:20 twice speaks of "Him who is true," the true One, the True:
a “那位真实的（那真实者）”这辞是指神对我们成了主观的，指客观的神在我们的生活和经历中成了那真实者。
a. The term the true One refers to God becoming subjective to us, to the God who is objective becoming the true One in our life and experience.
b 那真实者就是神圣的实际；认识那真实者，意即借着经历、享受并拥有这实际，而认识这神圣的实际。
b. The true One is the divine reality; to know the true One means to know the divine reality by experiencing, enjoying, and possessing this reality.
c 这节指明神圣的实际，就是神自己，已经在经历中成为我们的实际；那曾经对我们是客观的神，已经成为我们主观的实际─6节。
c. Verse 20 indicates that the divine reality, which is God Himself, has become our reality in our experience; the God who was once objective to us has become our subjective reality—v. 6.
八 因着我们认识那真实者和真理的灵（20，四6），又因为基督这真理活在我们里面，并且三一神在我们里面运行，把我们作成神人，就是基督这第一个神人的复制，我们就能给真理作见证，正如主自己所作的，祂说，“我为此而生，也为此来到世间，为要给真理作见证；凡属真理的人，就听我的声音。”（约十八37下）─引用经文
H. Because we know the true One and the Spirit of truth (v. 20; 4:6) and because Christ, the truth, is living in us and the Triune God is operating in us to make us God-men—the reproduction of Christ, the first God-man—we can testify to the truth as the Lord Himself did when He said, "For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice" (John 18:37b).
