Quiet Please 请安静下来

James 1雅各书一章

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
我亲爱的弟兄们，你们要知道，人人都应该快快的听，慢慢的说，慢一点动怒，因为人的愤怒并不能成全神的义

Quiet Please
请安静下来

We all want to be heard, we don’t like to listen, and we are very quick to anger.
我们都想要被听到，我们不喜欢倾听，我们总是很快发怒

Taken together this is a volatile cocktail that leads to trouble, James fully expounds on the subject of the mouth in chapter 3, as so often my reaction is.
总之这是一种易挥发的鸡尾酒，会引发麻烦，雅各在第3章中详细阐述了口的问题，所以我通常的反应是

Slow to Hear – Quick To Speak and Quick to Wrath
慢慢的听，快快的说，快快的发怒

God’s wrath is perfect, it is based on his righteousness, our wrath and anger as will be seen in chapter 4 is unholy and brings strife, God’s is based on his perfect holiness.
神的发怒是完全正确的，它基于它的公义，而我们的怒火和怒气，正如将在第4章中所看到的，是不圣洁的，会带来冲突。神的话语基于他完全的圣洁。所以你是一个好的聆听者吗？

So are you a good listener?
We often hear this said, when there’s an argument ” oh I don’t want to hear this”.
当出现争论的时候，
我们经常听到这样的说法，哦，我不想听这件事

Do we hear the other person, or do we like the sound of our own voice?
我们倾听他人了吗？或者我们喜欢倾听我们自己的声音吗？

Are we slow to speak? Is our tongue under control, this is the true test of Christian maturity. Because we don’t hear, we speak, not knowing all the facts and this leads to wrath, so listen before you open your mouth, it will save you lots of trouble and pain
我们慢慢说话了吗？我们的舌头受到控制吗？这是基督徒成熟度的真实测试。因为我们并没有倾听，我们不了解所有的事实，我们就不停地讲话，这会导致发怒，因此，在你张开嘴之前要先听，他会使你免于很多麻烦和痛苦

Are we slow to wrath?
我们慢慢发怒吗？

Are we like a volcano or are we virtuous?
我们就像一座火山，还是我们品行端正呢？

Matthew Henry Says:
马太亨利说道

People are often stiff in their own opinions because they are not willing to hear what others have to offer against them: whereas we should be swift to hear reason and truth on all sides, and be slow to speak anything that should prevent this: and, when we do speak, there should be nothing of wrath; for a soft answer turneth away wrath.

As this epistle is designed to correct a variety of disorders that existed among Christians, these words, swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, may be very well interpreted according to this last explication. And we may further observe from them that, if men would govern their tongues, they must govern their passions. When Moses’s spirit was provoked, he spoke unadvisedly with his lips. If we would be slow to speak, we must be slow to wrath.
人们总是固执己见，因为他们不想听到其他人，用来反对他们的事情，然而我们应当快快的听各方面的理由和实情，并且慢慢讲说一切可能阻止这些情况的事情。并且当我们讲说的时候，丝毫不要怀着任何怒气，要以柔和的回答驱散怒火。这篇书信体被设计的目的，是为了修正基督徒中存在的各种无序状况，这些词汇：快快的听，慢慢的说，慢慢的发怒，根据最后一种解释也许解释的更好。我们也可以从中进一步发现，假如人们能够控制他们的舌头，他们就可以控制他们的欲望。当圣灵激励摩西，他就用他的口深思熟虑的讲话。如果我们能够慢慢的讲话，我们也一定会慢慢的发怒。

God bless you
愿神祝福你
