HUMILITY - Characteristics | 謙卑 - 特質 |
If you know Hebrew, Greek and Latin, do not put them
where Pilate did, at the head of Christ; put them at his feet. 如果你懂得希伯來文、希臘文、拉丁文,那可別像彼拉多一樣,將它們放在基督的頭上;而是應該放在祂的腳下。 |
The sufficiency of my merit
is to know that my merit is not sufficient. 我的優點只要夠讓我知道我的優點不夠就好了。 |
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces. William Gurnall 謙卑是遮蔽一切恩慈的必備面罩。 |
Better be a humble worm than
a proud angel. William Jenkyn 做一條謙卑的蟲好過驕傲的天使。 |
I sometimes think that the very essence of the whole
Christian position and the secret of a successful spiritual life is just to realize two
things...I must have complete, absolute confidence in God and no confidence in myself. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones 我偶而思想基督徒的立場及成功屬靈生活的必要條件就是認知兩件事情...我必須全然、絕對相信上帝,並且不相信自己。 |
Oh for true, unfeigned
humility! I know I have cause to be humble; and yet I do not know one half of that
cause. I know I am proud; and yet I do not know the half of that pride. Robert Murray M'Cheyne 那真實的謙卑!我知道謙卑的理由;但我連這理由的一半都不懂。我知道我是驕傲的;但我同樣連這驕傲的一半也不懂。 |
The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be
in his own esteem. C. H. Spurgeon 人在恩典之中則在高處,看重自我則見低下。 |
Let my name be forgotten,
let me be trodden under the feet of all men, if Jesus may thereby be glorified. George Whitefield 若耶穌能得榮耀,就讓我的名字被人忘記,讓我任眾人雙腳踩踏。 |
A modest man is usually admired - if people ever
hear of him. Ed Howe 謙虛的人常受到讚賞 - 假如居然有人知道他的話。 |
